[RC] Pros and Cons of confinement systems - Carolyn BurgessI have the Farnam portable metal corral. It makes a 12 x 12 corral, is lightweight and very sturdy. I was at Doncaster last year when a horse got loose right next to us, and ran right next to my corral. My horse got spooked by it and slammed into the corral, pushing it about 3 feet but it never lost integrity. My guy is about 15.3" and weighs about 1100lbs. At another ride I witnessed two horses escape from their metal corrals, but the effort it took was amazing. They repeated slammed into the panels until they finally pulled them apart. It took quite the effort and about 2 minutes. I think had the owners of the horses been present, they could have prevented the escape.
