Hoping this is an easy question. Field shelter option without apex roof (flat, sloped roof) - it has the same 12x12 footprint but wonder if the sloped roof restricts the height of horse able to use it?

Not particularly unless the horse is enormous, however the flat slipped roofed field shelters are far more likely to get blown away unless properly anchored or have adequate ventilation in the back wall

What height options are there?
Don’t underestimate how high the roof of a field shelter needs to be, many I see have low roofs and poor ventilation. Then people wonder what their horses won’t use them
.
Assume that horses will rear up in them when playing, so allow enough height for them to do so. I went for the extra height option with both my shelters and have never regretted it. Can’t remember quite how high, but too high for me to reach with a broom.
ETA This high. Now 20 years old (how did that happen?) and still in excellent condition, all horses love it.
