Safety Stall System

Designed to Reduce the Risk of a Horse Getting Cast

The Safety Stall is a purpose-designed equine housing system developed to reduce the risk of a horse becoming cast in the stall—a dangerous situation where a horse rolls too close to a wall or fence, becomes trapped, and is unable to regain its footing.

What “Getting Cast” Means

When a horse rolls in a traditional stall, its legs can pass through open fencing or bars. If the horse becomes wedged against the wall or divider, it may be unable to push itself away, leading to panic, injury, or prolonged entrapment without human intervention.

How the Safety Stall Works

The defining feature of the Safety Stall is the mid-height solid panel integrated into the stall divider fencing.

Key Safety Function

  • The mid-panel blocks a horse’s legs from fully passing through the divider

  • This significantly reduces the chance of a horse becoming trapped during rolling

Secondary Safety Benefit

If a horse does manage to partially extend a leg through the upper fencing:

  • The solid mid-panel provides a firm surface

  • The horse can push against the panel to reposition itself

  • This self-rescue capability helps the horse return to a safe standing or lying position

In contrast to fully open fencing, the Safety Stall eliminates the “void” space that causes cast incidents.

Shown Configuration: Two-Stall Safety Section

The image shown illustrates a two-stall Safety Stall section, demonstrating how the system functions both as:

  • Individual safety stalls

  • A connected stall layout using shared safety dividers

This approach allows safety features to be applied consistently across multiple stalls without sacrificing modularity or layout flexibility.

Standard Sizes Shown

12′ × 24′ Safety Stall

  • Traditional extended stall footprint

  • Suitable for general housing, training, and turnout-style stalls

  • Enhanced safety compared to standard open-divider stalls

24′ × 24′ Safety Stall

  • Oversized safety configuration

  • Ideal for rehabilitation, broodmares, stall rest, or high-value horses

  • Maximizes movement while maintaining cast-reduction protection

Modular Sizing & Layout Flexibility

As with the other stall systems, the Safety Stall is not limited to fixed dimensions. Using modular panels and posts, the system can be configured into:

  • Various stall widths and lengths

  • Single or multi-stall runs

  • Back-to-back or linear layouts

  • Custom safety zones within larger barns

This allows facilities to apply safety stall principles selectively or universally, depending on horse type, risk level, or management preference.

Designed for Horse Welfare & Facility Confidence

The Safety Stall is especially beneficial for:

  • Horses prone to rolling or casting

  • Rehabilitation and recovery stalls

  • Broodmares and foaling environments

  • Facilities seeking to reduce emergency interventions
