Keeping Horses Safe Throughout the Winter Months
Caring for horses can be hard work, but they become a part of the family and you want to make sure they are comfortable and safe at all times. This is especially true in the cold, winter months in Iowa and Illinois. Horses need to stay dry, and out of the wind to keep them healthy. The winters in Iowa and Illinois have been overly harsh, and it seems that these harsh winters will stick around for several years to come. That is why it is important to have a horse barn to keep them safe.
Horses need to have shelter from sleet, wind, and storms. Horses can tolerate temperatures at zero degree F. anything below that and they cannot tolerate it. With the winters in the last several years in Iowa and Illinois, you need to keep your horse away from the harsh elements.
Choosing a builder for your horse barn that has the experience, is important. Greiner Buildings has the experience and knowledge to get your horse barn built to your specific needs and budget. We provide the best stall barns and indoor arenas in the industry. We will design a perfect layout for you using a 3D rendering and 2D CAD.
