Creating a safe outdoor space for horses takes more than putting up basic cover. Field shelters give horses protection from changing weather while still allowing them to move naturally across the field. At Slievecrafts, we manufacture field shelters in Ireland using premium materials, skilled craftsmanship, and sustainable sourcing practices that prioritise long-term use.
Our horse field shelters are commonly used as a quick solution to shelter your horse where permanent stabling is not suitable. Each shelter is made using a consistent and reliable supply of materials to support good airflow and year-round protection.
By using sustainably sourced timber from a trusted in-house supply, we are able to focus on delivering handcrafted excellence while keeping waste low. Every build follows an eco-friendly design approach, supported by zero waste and eco-conscious practices wherever possible.
Benefits of High Quality Field Shelters for Horses
Well-built field shelters for horses provide protection without impeding natural activity. Horses can choose when to go inside and when to stay outside, reducing stress and increasing general well-being.
Key benefits include:
-
Strong, weather-resistant structures suited to Irish conditions
-
Vertical sides of the shelter that help block wind and increase usable space
-
Open front field shelters that allow easy access and clear visibility
-
A safe shelter for your horses without the need for confinement
-
Reliable protection from rain, wind, and strong sun throughout the year
At Slievecrafts, each shelter is built using premium solid wood, selected for strength and durability. The use of sustainable materials also supports responsible construction without compromising performance.
Types of Field Shelters
Slievecrafts supplies field shelters in Ireland in a variety of sizes and layouts to suit different land types and horse numbers. All shelters are produced with bespoke designs, allowing the build to match both practical needs and site conditions.
Large Field Shelters for Horses
Larger shelters are well-suited to shared grazing areas or multiple horses. These horse field shelters provide generous internal space while maintaining airflow and stability.
Best Suited for Race Horses
Racehorses often spend extended time outdoors between training sessions. Our shelters for horses are designed to reduce exposure while offering a calm place to rest.
Open Front Field Shelters
Open front field shelters remain a popular choice for paddocks where horses move in and out freely. When positioned correctly, they offer effective shelter without limiting movement.
The size of the shelter is always discussed during planning to ensure it meets safety requirements and daily use needs.
