How big should a run in shed be for 3 horses?

12'x18′ At Horizon Structures, we generally tell people that a 12'x18′ run-in horse shed is usually adequate for 3 average sized horses (about 15 hands) that will share their space without fighting.

horizonstructures.com - Recommended Size For A Run-In Shed | Horizon Structures

It is better to buy several smaller horse sheds and spread them throughout your pasture than one larger, longer shed. Finally, you may find, after going to the trouble and expense of setting up a run-in shed for your horses, that they don’t appear to be using it! Horses are generally very well adapted to withstand cold temperatures and don’t seem to mind rain or snow. However, it is very important that your horse has shelter from driving winds and hail as well has a cool, shaded place to go on a hot summer day. The interior of your horse shelter should be at least 10′ high and include 4′ high kickboard. Customers often ask if they need a taller structure for their taller (17h) horses and are concerned about the clearance on the open side. Rest assured, your horses will lower their heads to enter. The 7’+ is perfectly fine. Also, keep in mind, if you are purchasing one of our pre-built horse shelters for sale, there are transportation height restrictions. Finally, when setting up your run-in shed, or wood run-in shed kits,always face the open side away from prevailing winds and place the structure on a level, slightly elevated spot or try to build up the floor to keep it is dry as possible inside. As always, please feel free to call us at 1-888-44-SHEDS if you have any questions or would like help choosing the best run-in shed for your unique situation. NOTE: All barn, run-in shelter, and stall dimensions referred to on this site are OUTSIDE dimensions
