What's the smallest stable size you would use for a chunky 12.2 pony?
Our wee herd of 3 has become 4! Yeay!! Kids are over the moon, as they no longer have to share and swap half way on hacks. The problem is that we only have 3 stables. It's only a slight problem really, as all of the beasts live out 24/7, but very occasionally it's nice to bring them in for an hour or 2 out of the Scottish liquid sunshine (today being a prime example - yuck!).
The pony stable is currently 8ft x 12ft and he has plenty of space. We also have a wee lean-to building that we could, at a push, convert to use as another stable, but it's only 6ft wide (still 12ft long). I think the pony would struggle to turn around in it. Mind you, he doesn't move much when he's in, doesn't roll or lie down, he just stands stock still at the hay feeder and munches away!
What do you all think? Good option for an extra body or do I need to think again?
