Below are some resources and recommendations that can be helpful when purchasing a property for equestrian utility: Look for the right piece of land in the right location with a comfortable home. As far as the barn and fencing, they can easily be added once the purchase is complete. A plus to planning your own barn and fence is customization. I have added info about simple, effective, quick, and amazingly affordable fences and barns.
Gardner Fence - Vinyl Fencing with a Lifetime Warranty
 Vinyl fence is made of essentially the same material as vinyl siding and vinyl windows. It is NOT PVC pipe. The difference being that PVC pipe does use some of the same ingredients but does not have the weather ability and strength found in siding, windows and fence. Virtually no maintenance is needed for your vinyl fence. This traditional white fencing is impervious to deterioration from moisture, temperature extremes, ultraviolet exposure and the wear and tear from time itself. You'll never have to scrape or paint your fence again, unlike any wood, metal or imitation polyvinyl fence. From the day your fence is installed, all traditional fence maintenance halts. As with all exterior products, our fence will become dirty when exposed to the elements. Pressure washing with a mild detergent and water should be sufficient to keep your fence or deck rail looking new. For tough stains. Soft Scrub(TM) or baking soda works well.
http://www.gardnerfence.com/index.php Horsegaurd Fence  Horsegaurd is another affordable, safe, and quick to install fence system. I have personally used this system for my horses and there were no problems. Horsegaurd has just put out a bipolar fence that requires no grounding making it even better.
Electrobraid Fence  Electrobraid has become a widely acceptable system for fencing and cross fencing horse paddocks. It is a permanent electric fence designed specifically with horse safety in mind. It works as both a physical barrier and a psychological deterrent. It is highly visible to horses, strong, durable and resilient. Most important, it is so safe that the Company can offer a limited Safety Warranty against horses getting injured.

With the summertime heat many horse owners opt for open air shelters to take advantage of the breeze. The winter is not very cold so most horses, given a choice, will stand outside in the sun. Pictured below is an open barn built by Absolute Horses. They will deliver a kit that a local contractor can easily put up. This is a fast and simple way to add and customize a barn if the property you like does not have a barn in place. Absolute horses offers a wide variety of options that can easily be customized to meet your equestrian needs. Visit their website to find out more at www.absolutesteelhorse.com/why-mare-motel.html

How to Find Your Ideal Horse Property The BEST way to find a horse property meeting your particular needs is to be set up on a notification from the Gainesville Multiple Listing Service (MLS). It's the most comprehensive source available for homes and where Realtor's place their listings. Once you are set up, you will receive all the listings currently available via email and you will be automatically notified when anything new comes on the market.
To be set up on this automated system just submit the feedback form below with your considerations in the comments box including: desired acreage, home size, horse amenities, location, price and anything else. Although a Realtor must be the one to set you up on this search, there is absolutely no obligation on your part. If however, you would like help we will be happy to answer any questions you may have. If you would rather speak to someone about your desired property call Bethany Wilcox, the equestrian real estate specialist at 352-215-4045 |
