Stable sizes to horses heights advice plz!

[beckysteven]

Is it correct that the average size stable for any horse is 12x12?
So that should mean that any size horse fits in it?
Or what would be the biggest height and breed that you would stable in it?

Think im just being a little paranoid for when my new horse comes!
Thanks

Mine's in a 12 x 12, he's 16.2 ID x TB ands he's fine

anything over about 16hh used to get the bigger stables - which were really big cos they were old stone ones. If I had a choice and owned anything over about this I think they would be more comfortable in a bigger stable so they can move round comfortably. As it is my biggest is a 15.1 skinny so quite happy in a 12x12

it's the usual size, yes, and okay for most. must admit, i don't like putting anything bigger than 17h ish in a 12 x 12, especially if they're gangly and have no spacial awareness. since having huge stables (one at 12 x14, 2 at 15 x 15)i haven't had one get cast, touch wood... they keep them a lot cleaner too!
how big is your new horse?

Well, the yard im at, there stables are more like 11x12. But my new horse is practically 17hh WBXTB. Would she be ok

Meant to say...... when does he/she arrive and what is/he she ? Bet you're getting excited ?

 

[beckysteven]

She arrives in 2 weeks

Shes a fraction off 17hh, wb x tb

My stables 9'6" x 9'6" and they house Hattie who is 15.3 and have housed my other old loan horses, a 16hh TB and a HUGE 16hh cob, both of who were fine in them.

I reckon a 17hh horse would be fine in a 11 x 12.

my 17.2 boy is in a 10ftsquare stable and tbh i think he could do with a bigger one, but its not by choice i have him in a small stable

George is a chunky 16.3 in a 12x12 and seems just fine.

I have two 12x14 stables with a 16.3 & a 16.1 in each and two 15x11 stables with a 16.3 & a 13.2 in each and they all have plenty of room.

My 16.3hh is in a 10 x 10 stable and he loves it. Only downside is that it is so small he has to come out of it to muck out. It keeps incredibly warm though and he is quite happy to be in there 24 7!!
