RE: [RC] Stall walls - Linda CowlesI gave up and got wire mesh/screen for on the upper surfaces of my stalls at a boarding stable once; I used the heavy 1/4 inch type, not chicken wire. I used the metal edging that is used over wallboard on corners to cover every wood edge, so this metal covered the wire mesh on the sides and upper edges. I didn't run it to the floor, just the top 3 feet of the stall wall. The metal edging worked great... I ran it up the 4x4's, around the doors... It "termite-proofed" my stall.

Has anyone found a good material for lining stall walls, one that horses can't get their teeth into? I've had several horses who rake their teeth over the plywood walls until they find a spot that they can start chewing on. It would be great if I could find something that came in large sheets, like 4 x 8 and could install it over the old damaged plywood with the "Halt Crib" painted spots that look so ugly. It's a daily routine to inspect and paint the latest chew spots, particularly in one horse's stall. He got everyone else into the game too. They have ample grass hay morning and evening on a regular schedule, each stall has a 20 x 60 sand/pea gravel paddock plus this time of year they get turn out to a 5 acre area for 1/2 a day so they shouldn't be doing it out of boredom. So, any ideas will be welcomed. Thanks, Betty Edgar, NW Region =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
