Round Pens
Q. What size round pen is needed for
training a mini? Are people making their own or buying the round pen
panels? If you make your own, what materials do you use? Thanks! I
appreciate the knowledge that is shared on this list. Kay B.
A. I put up my round corral with my
full-size horses in mind, but I think it'll be a good size for the minis as
well. I bought Hi-Qual 10' Range panels; there are 10 regular panels and one
panel with 4' walkthrough gate. It made about a 50' diameter round pen and
seems to be a good size for the full-size horses; you could probably get by
with smaller for the minis, but could do more in the 50' size. I've seen
post and rail round corrals, but then you have to have permanent place to
locate them. Hope this helps a little. Chanda
