Where did you get your portable stables/shelters?

Myself and Danni ('GypsyGirl' on here) keep our horses on a private grass livery and they are out 24/7.

Our YO is brilliant, she checks her retired lot and our cobs and feeds them all and everything - needless to say we have always been grateful for what a good service we get for our money.
We've recently been thinking about getting some portable stables or shelters since we are on rented farmers land. Our field is very very exposed and they currently don't have any proper sheltering apart from the odd bushes/trees. Although our cobs do fine its impossible to tack up/groom if even slightly windy with a horse tied to a post completely exposed so we think a portable shelter/stable is just what we need.

Students here so true to form we're on a budget!

So..
1) Where did you get yours?/Any good suggestions?
2) How would we go about asking YO's permission to buy stables/shelter at our own expense and erect it on the rented land? We don't want her to think we are taking the p*ss because she's brilliant already, its just a case of improving the facilities at our own expense!
 
Look forward to this response as only yesterday a friend asked me if we could recommend anyone for cheap mobile stable/field shelter for her horses. Another friend in Cornwall bought some a couple of years ago and she reckoned they were very cheap, so I have already emailed her so will send her another reminder now.
 
oh brilliant thanks Penniless!

I'm hoping in the morning we will have a few bargain hunters who can recommend something!

If you could PM me when your friend replies if you can't find this post again i would be grateful

Protech shelter? I had one of these and it was actually very good, stayed really dry inside and never blew away and wasn't at all'rustly' as you would expect. They are totally portable and cost around £650 with regards to your landowner - I don,t think there are many LO s that would refuse such a request as long as you do the work and meet all the costs.
