Horse Stables in Dubbo | Ballimore Welding

Handling horses safely takes more than just good fencing—it takes equipment that works with the animal’s nature. Our stables and yards are designed for smooth movement, easy access and minimal stress during handling or loading. Gates and panels are solid, balanced and secure, giving handlers more control with less effort.

We also offer onsite setup and fabrication for custom-fit layouts, ensuring every stable or yard suits your space. Whether you’re managing a few paddock horses or a larger operation, we’ll help you build with confidence. Call 0428 323 208 to talk through your setup or get a quote.

What should I consider when setting up horse stables on my property?

Start by thinking about space, ventilation, and day-to-day access. Horses need roomy stalls—typically around 3.6m x 3.6m - with solid dividers, kick-proof walls and good airflow. Position your stables in a spot with proper drainage, easy vehicle access and good visibility of the paddock. Consider layout flow: can you safely lead horses in and out without bottlenecks? Are the gates wide enough for equipment? If you’re integrating stables into a larger yard or riding setup, make sure walkways, tie-up areas and float loading zones are safe, non-slip and well-lit. Strong materials and simple, secure latches are also a must - horses are clever escape artists.

What’s the difference between a stable and a shelter?

A stable is an enclosed structure designed to house a horse for extended periods, offering protection from the weather and often including feed storage, bedding and tack space. It provides a secure environment for rest, injury recovery or overnight housing. A shelter, by contrast, is more open - usually a three-sided structure in a paddock or yard that provides shade and rain cover while allowing horses to come and go freely. Shelters are great for pasture access but don’t replace the need for secure, enclosed spaces when weather, injury or handling conditions demand it.

How can I make my horse yards safer for handlers and animals?

Safety starts with the right materials and layout. Choose solid, well-braced panels that won’t shift under pressure and avoid narrow corners where horses might feel trapped. Gateways should be wide enough to allow a horse and handler through without squeezing, and gate latches should be easy to operate with one hand. If you have multiple horses in the same space, include escape routes or separate pens to manage herd dynamics. Avoid protruding bolts, sharp corners or exposed welds that could cause injury. Anti-slip surfacing, strong footing and clear sightlines also go a long way in preventing accidents.
