Get Reliable Shade and Shelter Where Horses Need It Most

At Shelter Logic, we studied the needs of livestock and equine ranchers, farmers, and hobbyists. We've found that the ability to provide reliable shade and shelter for animals anywhere in the field is one of their biggest challenges.

Through the years, Shelter Logic has engineered and produced a variety of animal shade and shelter products that give horses and other livestock dependable protection from the elements. However, most of these innovations have been designed to remain stationary.

Our latest initiative was to develop a shade that is functional, durable, and with increased portability. This one would need to be different from our line of Run-In Sheds, but would maintain the same level of superior products as the rest of our equine products. In order to create a more portable shade product for need of equine and livestock, we decided to integrate existing materials and products that are found on most ranches already.

ShelterLogic developed the groundbreaking Corral Shelter to help livestock owners provide reliable shade and shelter for animals anywhere in the field. These equine shelters can conveniently attach to the frame of most existing 12 ft. corral panels. They are made of durable steel with a rugged fabric cover and tightly fits the tubes of most 12 foot corral panels to give dependable shade protection anywhere in the field. With ShelterLock steel stabilizers and anchors, they securely stay put for reliable shade.

The Corral Shelter is also rather adaptable. With its wider, more spacious arc rib profile, it is able to provide animals with more headroom. It can also be used to increase your volume of overall storage in the field. So whether you use the Corral Shelter over 12 foot corral panels as a protective covering to store hay and feed in the field, or use the structure to shade livestock that may require more headroom, the Corral Shelter is a convenient, multi-functional solution.

A Barn Isn't Always the Best Option

When you picture a home for your horses and other livestock, you probably expect they’ll need a large barn or enclosed stable for sleeping and shelter. And while these units are great for sheltering livestock after hours, they’re not sufficient to keep animals out of the heat and sun during the daytime when they're in the pasture. Also, constantly confining your horse in a stall such as this can be detrimental to their physical and mental health.

Additionally, barns can easily become unsanitary and stuffy. They offer low ventilation and can exposes horses and livestock to dust and bacteria from their feces, feed, and bedding. That can lead to which leads to mucus buildup and respiratory inflammation.

What's more, confinement to a barn can have a negative impact on your equine’s colon and intestinal health because of their limited mobility much of the day. Even confining ponies can cause negative effects during growth and development, increase the risk of injury, decrease performance, and more.

A Corral Shelter transforms 12 foot corral panels into a shaded feeding or resting area for your horses. A Corral Shelter can be attached easily to the frame of most existing 12 ft. corral panels and give horses and livestock a place to go when they are out to pasture during the day.

For added protection against strong winds or inclement weather, add an enclosure kit to your corral shelter. An enclosure kit includes one end panel and three side panels and can provide additional shade and shelter for your animals. It also allows you to use your existing corral in the field as a storage barn for feed, equipment, and more. This easy-to-install kit fits standard 12 ft. corral panels or gates.

Why Protecting Animals from the Sun is Important

When you run a farm or care for animals, keeping them safe from the elements is your number-one priority. Understanding the effects of the sun and heat on horses and livestock is paramount to their health. 

Some animals have natural ways of staying safe from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays, which cause sunburn in both humans and wildlife. But an overcast sky can be deceiving. As much as 80 percent of UVB rays can pass through the cloud cover, making a sunburn possible even on a cloudy day. While too much sun exposure that causes sunburns increases your chance of developing skin cancer and other skin conditions, it can cause different damage in livestock.

Additionally, during heat waves, farmers face a challenge with both high temperature high heat index. Farmers need to take precautions for their animals to minimize the risk of injury and sickness from prolonged exposure to high temperatures and humidity. Although most animals can transfer internal heat to the outside of the body by sweating and panting, heat stress can lead to a reduction in animal performance and efficiency.

For example, Dairy cows can produce less milk and be more prone to disease and parasites. Horses that run in the pasture constantly generate heat. Without an easy way to cool down, horses can overheat. Once they display such symptoms or reach internal temperatures of 105°F are higher or show other symptoms, the risk of heat exhaustion, heat stroke, or even death greatly increases.
