Run-in sheds allow your horse to escape the extreme weather each season presents. From rainstorms to snowy conditions, they're the perfect place for your horse to stay dry and comfortable. You can feel more confident leaving your horse turned out through summer and winter.

Most horse owners place a run-in shed in the middle or edge of their pastures. These 3-sided shelters are usually constructed of wood and metal. The sizing depends on the number of animals using it.

For the most part, a custom run-in shed will end up costing you a few thousand. However if you get the whole family together, you can make your very own! It isn't as hard as you might think.
