Stable Guards & Chains

Stable guards & chains are a simple but essential part of everyday stable management, allowing horses to enjoy extra airflow and interaction whilst remaining safely contained. 

Many riders use stable guards to improve ventilation during warmer weather, clipping season or when horses are on box rest - or simply if you have a horse that likes to escape. 

When choosing stable guards, consider your horse's temperament, stable dimensions and fitting requirements. Strong fixings and durable materials are particularly important for larger horses or enthusiastic stable residents.

A reliable stable chain or guard can make daily yard routines safer and more practical for both horse and rider.

Choosing the Right Stable Guard for Your Horse

Different horses have very different ideas about respecting stable boundaries. Lightweight chains may suit settled horses, whilst woven or mesh guards provide extra reassurance for inquisitive youngsters or horses on box rest. Check fittings regularly and ensure guards are installed at the correct height to maintain safety standards across the yard.
