Advantages Of Owning Loafing Sheds

By Christine Miller


There are many reasons as to why people own sheds. There are different kinds of sheds including temporary and permanent ones. For most farm owners, the shed is usually for storing farm tools and farm supplies. There also are sheds that are made for the farm animals. The article below elaborates on the importance of owning loafing sheds.

Everyone likes clean animals. You would not want to ride a horse covered in their waste. To do this, you not only have to wash the horse but the shed they sleep in too. Animal hygiene is very important and not as difficult as one may presume. The sheds need cleaning periodically, which may actually be done by a tractor to ease the workload.

We all enjoy our freedom. We mostly think for ourselves and get to do whatever we want. Funny enough, we should offer our horses some degree of freedom. This is especially when it comes to movement. We should neither restrict them in the shed or on the fields. The stalls should be open in the day so that they can move around as much as they need to.

As they say, the best things in life are free. This includes oxygen. We all love to get a waft of that fresh air. The horses too enjoy the fresh air. This is why you should ensure that the shed is constructed to allow circulation of as much free air as possible. This keeps the horses healthy and comfortable and does not overexert their respiratory system.

Fire is one of the most destructive disasters known to man. With the right elements in play, a fire could burn on for days. In the process, it does destroy properties worth thousands and often are times lives are lost. Luckily a well-ventilated shed is very hard to catch fire. In case it does, the horses would be saved as the can easily walk out.

Sheds are not very expensive to construct. This is for one because they are made out of wood which should be easily accessible to a farmer. The workforce required to put the shed together is very minimal and may need up to a day to put up, depending on the size. This means that the amount of money will be a lot less than say, purchasing a combined harvester.

When the horse is out and about, the sun may heat up to really high degrees thus making it uncomfortable. There is no way that you can move the horse to the shed especially if it was already in the fields. Pouring water on it to cool it is not a very permanent solution either. This is why you should own an easy ready to assemble kit set up in the field on the summer days.

A healthy horse is a happy horse. Having a shed is a way of protecting them from parasites. This is because they will be away from the heat which usually causes flies like deer flies and horse flies to bite on their skin. The bites can be irritable and once they bleed a lot more flies flock in.
