Re: [RC] horse corrals - Barbara McCraryAt the recent AERC convention trade show, my husband and I saw the most wonderful-looking corral panels I have ever seen. They were beautifully welded aluminum panels, 6' long by 5' high. The brochure says 8 of them make a 15' diameter corral, enough for one horse. For us, using the wall of our 20' gooseneck stock trailer as one side, we would need the same number of panels to create a 12' wide by 24' long corral for two horses. They weigh 30# per panel. The cost is $1,280 per set of 8. A side-mount panel racking bracket cost $275 each (two required). I was so excited about these, as our panels are 12' galvanized steel panels and take two of us to lift and move. We are cattlemen and horsemen, and my husband's greatest concern on rides is the escape of horses. I think there is no way a horse could escape from these panels. The company is Night Wind Designs in Prineville, OR. Contact Jim Rodosevich rodo@xxxxxxxxxxx or rodo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx or 541-447-3169. "Panels and brackets can be shipped anywhere in the US at cost of shipping and handling, approx. $200 to ship 700 miles via common carrier" (quoted from their brochure.) "Delivery usually within 4-6 weeks of order placement." I have no affiliation with this company, nor do I know the owners. This man does his own welding......it's a husband and wife company. We recognized quality and durability when we saw it. I wanted to order a set immediately, but husband said let's wait and see if we get back to endurance competition. We've not competed for nearly 3 years, due to lack of appropriate horse power.
