The colt breaking set up you mentioned is perfect. You are so right about the round pen for breaking colts. Some do try to get up over the top. Some will go around forever and follow the fence. The idea of the wall and corner to leave yourself an escape is very good advice, very smart. You are so right about the stalls as well. I've seen some solitary confinements before and it does the animal no service to be cooped up in a dark space like that. This is very helpful info.

I have mostly clay. Will sand over this work? Thanks! Hi Larry,

And yet I never, never thought of simply making it into a square. Brilliant, It will encourage him to think instead of just react and - as an ace thinker and trickster - he will love it once he gets over his surprise.

Haven't seen too many of them lately....I am so glad I got my parents to add a window to each stall in our new barn. It didn't cost us much because they are my old house windows that have just been sitting around. It brightens the whole stall and a nice breeze comes in. We also went for taller sliding doors into our barn. Not only can we fit a bigger load of hay in to our loft, but on a hot summer day I can open both ends and the windows to keep it cooler for my stalled horses. Look forward to more articles!
