Build Your Horse Farm or Horse Barn. How to Plan, Build, and Remodel Barns and Sheds.

This is a super book with lots of good practical ideas and demonstrations via diagramatic plan design and photographs of all you need to know about building your horse barn or facility.

If you have inherited another use building it also has great remodel help info. There is even a full source list for the items you'll need to buy from stall latches and a discussion on those of course, to major building companies, roofers, even contractors that specialize in horse building construction.

The details include comprehensive discussion on Laws and Zoning, Permits, How to determine the best orientation and siting, how to design the spaces and openings, where to put bedding and hay storage, wash stalls etc., how to read blueprints, a good selection of sample plans you could use, how and what materials to choose, how to handle the electric and utility issues, specifics on actual building from layout and foundations to safety and siding. Plus remodeling including wiring and water, roof and strength issues. A final chapter covers the fun part - installing the floors/storage/and oh yes, horses.

thehorsestudio.com review; Having built my fair share of horse buildings over the years and designed both houses and horse properties, I foudn that the info in this book was very well thought about and well laid out. Some really sound advice that will no doubt not only save you $ today but also make the barn safe and ensure good flow patterns for practical everyday use. It's a lot cheaper to put the facilities you want in now than to add them later, and making the right choice of roof design for your snow load or heat issues or making the remodel cost effective as well as visually appealing is not difficult with the right info - which this book has certainly provided.

A great book, nicely up to date with a good list of resources and help should you need it. Recommended.
