3 Sided Horse "run in"

I want to build a 3 sided horse “run-in” for my pasture horses. I’ve seen them built out of tin and out of wood, but I can’t find plans anywhere. Most of the ones I find are for permanent structures and I want one that is movable.
It just needs to be a place that my pasture horses can get out of the wind during the winter because I hate keeping them in the barn all winter.

Thank you!

Answer #1

Most anything that’s moveable… and roofed, is going to blow over in winter wind. Tin is never a good idea, because of sharp edges, and rattly noise in the wind that scares horses.

If you want portable…you could buy a “mare motel” . Those are roofed, and made of portable bar panels… You could add plywood for more wind protection on the windy sides.

Answer #2

All over Missouri we have tin run ins that are framed in wood so I’m not worried about the tin, it won’t have sharp ends sticking out. Buying those pre-made buildings is very expensive, a 12’x24’ run is about $2100.

Answer #3

yeah, you can buy ready made things like dawndalyce said, probly your best option. DO NOT USE TIN dangerous
