An examination stand for horses and ponies makes it easier to carry out veterinary examinations. The stand gives the animals a sense of security and thus ensures less stress during the examination, treatment or care. Easy to handle. Made of galvanised sheet steel - therefore very durable.

Why do you need an examination stand for horses?

An examination stand for horses is needed to make it easier to examine the animals, but also to immobilise them and thus prevent injuries to humans and animals during the process. Examination stands can also be used during the breeding season to inseminate the mare.

How are examination stands for horses constructed?

Examination stalls for horses are usually constructed from sturdy, hot-dip galvanised steel tubes. There are stable constructions on both sides of the examination stall to prevent the horse from escaping and to prevent the animal from turning round. Doors are located at the front and rear of the examination stall, which can be easily opened with one hand.

In an examination stall used for veterinary treatment of horses, only stable side tubes are installed on the sides. The side walls of stalls used for inseminating mares are made entirely of wood or bamboo.

How is an examination stand with a horse used?

An examination stall is used with a horse by leading it through a door into the examination stall until it stands at the front, closed door of the stall. The door behind the horse is also closed and the horse is tied up. This ensures that the horse can no longer flee to the side or forwards and cannot escape backwards. 

The fact that the sides of the examination stall for treatments are not closed means that the vet can examine the horse from all directions. The closed side walls of the examination stall for inseminations in turn calm the mare and offer her protection. 

What makes for a good state of research?

A good examination stand should have a heavy weight in order to be stable and guarantee safe work on the animal. It should also be able to be firmly bolted to the floor to prevent the stand from tipping over. There should be no sharp edges to prevent injuries.

Depending on what the examination stand is to be used for, the stand must either be equipped with side walls or only with side tubes. 

What size are the examination stands?

Examination stalls are generally 120 - 130 cm in height, 150 - 210 cm in length and 83 - 130 cm in width. The different sizes are suitable for horses, ponies and young horses and offer more or less free space for the horses accordingly. The size of the stall should be adapted to the horse's needs.

What does an examination stand for horses cost?

An examination stall for horses usually costs between €1000 and €4000. Prices vary depending on the equipment, size and weight of the stall. Examination stalls in the higher price category have, for example, a non-slip rubber floor, wooden panelling, a foam mat on the back door to offer the horse more safety or integrated scales in addition to the frame.

Shipping costs are added for this product, which can range from €180 to €350 due to the size.
