Paddock boxes: light, air and movement in Switzerland

Little space, sloping land, old trees? Every plot has its characteristics. Loose boxes by Röwer & Rüb offer ideal solutions, with 3 or 30 boxes erected in line, as an L or U shape. The individual elements, head and corner boxes offer plenty of space for ideas: storage, tack rooms, solarium, car port or simply horse boxes. Design your own stables with barn doors, access doors or walls, thanks to the modular principle.

One example from Switzerland shows how stables act as paddock boxes, with loose box doors at the front and comfortable roof overhang for attending to the horses comfortably in the dry.
The paddock exits are at the back and can also be used in winter thanks to a 3 m door overhang. Very clever: the large individual paddocks can be reduced in size in one easy move. Practical for mucking out in summer, ideal for clearing the snow with suitable machines in winter. And the resulting large run in front of the small paddocks can also be used as additional exercising area.

The front of the loose boxes can also be used as wall element, as illustrated by the old stable building. The elements have been used to replace the long sides, giving the whole facility a uniform appearance.
The Freimatic walker rounds off the new riding facility. It guarantees additional movement – naturally all year round, thanks to the partial roof.
