Horses need a safe environment.
Horses have basic needs for food, water, minerals and salt, and shelter from heat and inclement weather. Horses need a safe environment where they can move around, graze and socialize. They need secure, adequate fencing in an area that's hazard free. Whether the horses are traveling to events or staying home, portable corral panels can help maintain a safe environment. A variety of materials, ranging from heavy duty steel to lighter weight aluminum and vinyl, are used to make portable corral panels. There are many different sizes and configurations of corrals, and several brands have interchangeable pieces so that the corral size can be easily adjusted. Portable corral panels can be used on a ranch or farm, a camp, or by outfitter operations working in rugged areas.
Traveling Use
Corral panels are helpful when traveling to events.
Renting stalls when traveling exposes your horse to diseases from other horses that have occupied that stall. Using portable corral panels when traveling allows your horse to move about freely in a pen so that it isn't confined in a stall. Having the horse nearby in a safe, secure environment brings a rider peace of mind. The horse will be calmer knowing someone familiar is around, which is important when competing in events or shows.
For trail rides, endurance races and camping trips, portable corrals are versatile and effectively confine the animals and provide protection from predators. Outfitters who use horses on trips into the wilderness find corral panels ideal for confining pack mules and llamas, as well as their remuda of horses.
Home Use
Corral panels can fence off hay storage areas.
Portable corral panels can be used for semi-permanent round pens for exercise and training. They can be used to hold new horses that are gradually being introduced to a new area or to isolate sick horses and those with feeding problems. The pens can serve as permanent stall dividers in the barn or be set up as temporary arenas for school rodeos, 4-H events and stock shows. Portable panels can keep horses away from a hay storage area and allow the horse to be rotated within large pastures, designating areas of selective grazing. They can be set up to shield gardens, plants or trees or serve as fencing to keep curious horses off decks and patios. Portable panels can be incorporated into permanent fencing for temporary expansion or repairs. Portable panels make extra-sturdy perimeter fencing-in areas where this reinforcement is needed to keep other large animals out.
Agricultural Use
Corral panels make temporary corrals on a round-up.
Temporary corral panels have been used at feed lots to divide pens or to make smaller, separate pens. They can be converted into permanent pen dividers and for separating cows from their calves. When cattle are rounded up on the range, portable panels are often used to make temporary holding pens. As more cattle are collected, portable panels are converted into larger corrals to hold them until they are transported to a holding yard for shipping. Sheep and pigs can also be confined in pens of portable corral panels. Super-heavy steel "Buffalo Panel 7 Bar" corral panels can be used to contain bulls and buffalo.
