Just thought I'd share how we're doing our stall dividers in the new mare barn

Finally got all the outside done so have been working on getting the stalls in, taking a while as the holes for the posts take forever thanks to the hard, clay Ohio dirt lol

The divider in the picture is a permanent divider, one goes in every two stalls to divide off the big foaling stalls, then we'll be putting in dividers similar to this though removable to divide the foaling stalls into two individual stalls.. Will end up having 6 total foaling stalls but 13 individual stalls.. The odd stall is going to have both permanent sides that are taller than these dividers so we can use it as an isolation/stud stall, no nose-to-nose contact..

Have all the posts set on this side, just have to hang the gates and build the walls/dividers, have the first wall built on the other side so we can start lining up post holes and setting the posts..

Also got our observation window in, overlooks the first two stalls on the opposite side than the stalls above which I plan on using as the main foaling stall, wanted the window so I could look in on the mare without going into the barn and disturbing her, and also so I can look in on mare/foal while getting supplies or to pass supplies from office to whomever is tending to mare/foal

Looks like you are going to quite the set up, looks good.
 
Looks great!! We did someting similar to divide my big stall and make a mini stall. It has worked out very well.

The fenced dividers were my idea, I wanted something that would help air flow through the barn/stalls in the winter, allow the horses to see each other but still be sturdy, hopefully these will do the job as I really like the look of them
 
wow nice looking barns! We are also doing something similar with our barn, cutting all of our stalls in half for the minis, since we use to raise AQHA horses, one stall was just too big for one mini...and since we keep adding on minis here

. Just a word of advice, be careful as it looks like a hoof could fit in the top if one was to kick or jump or paw, that is the only thing that would worry me.
 
The fencing is sturdy, holes are only an inch by inch 1/2 maybe, can't see how this fencing we used can be any more dangerous than the typical field fencing or cattle panels..
