Stalls
When designing our barn we wanted to work with a stall and barn equipment supplier that would provide unique custom products as well as design assistance. Innovative Equine Systems maintained a stellar reputation and was also highly recommended by neighbors that had purchased their products. Dennis, Missy, and the team at Innovative Equine listened to us, worked closely with our contractor, and guided us through the entire process from design through installation. The entire experience including post purchase service has exceeded our expectations. We are extremely satisfied with the quality of their products and routinely recommend Innovative Equine to our friends and family.
From low, European style stall fronts to high, secure sliding stalls to fully custom stalls, we’ve built them all. Our happy clients are a testament to the beauty, practicality and durability of each order that we craft. Let us help you design and build the barn interior of your dreams.

In the heart of Kentucky’s Bluegrass region, Lexington is home to some of the country’s most valuable horses. And some of those valuable horses live in a Lexington horse stall.
Adjustable door hinges for easy installation and that perfect fit Center hinged door with radiused top Grilled door top and bottom Tightly spaced grills and full height stall door for the ultimate in security
The Lexington is a high, secure stall front which is ideal for unknown horse personalities or stallions. The curved top of the door and the horizontal panels in the door and the wings add elegance and style. The full height grilled door and wings provide security, yet those grills – tightly spaced for further safety – allow the light and ventilation into the stall that is so important for your horses’ health. The stall door is hinged, using our adjustable rod hinges which make your contractor’s job easier, and includes our proprietary finger latch. This innovative latch lets you open your stall door from inside or outside the stall with just a couple of fingers, keeping your other hand free to lead your horse in or out. The base plate on which the door post sits is 3/8” thick – really beefy by industry standards – and is curved to mimic the curve of the post itself. The post gets bolted to the floor, which allows the stall door opening to be completely free of any potential stumbling objects.

After finishing off my new barn with your ‘Savannah’ stall system, I had the opportunity to see all of your competitors’ products first hand at the Northeast Equine Affaire in Massachusetts recently. I am happy to report that I felt even better about the choice that I had made after seeing what the others offered. The quality, features, and, very importantly, the aesthetics of your system are certainly superior to anything else available on the market - thank you for your commitment to quality.

Our Savannah horse stall, in classic European style, provides a bright and open home for your horse via the low stall door and curved wings. This thoughtfully designed stall features tightly spaced grills to prevent small hooves from getting caught, a safety latching system which allows the stall to be opened without having to reach over or through stall grills and a low front for maximum socialization. All of our hinged stalls, including the Savannah, are fully welded, which makes for a stronger product and we use rod hinges on the doors, which are fully adjustable. The barrel hinges used by other stall companies are not adjustable, which
is going to leave you in a pickle if your builder hasn’t left much room for adjustment. Mount this stall front onto your wood posts in a post and beam barn, or we can provide matching steel posts for a clear span structure. Options include our gorgeous exotic hardwood, both flat brass and round ball finials for barn “bling”, and a feeder door which rotates a full 360° for ease of feeding from the aisle. The Savannah is our best seller and for good reason – it combines elegance, function and safety. You and your horse deserve the best the industry has to offer.

Low stall door for maximum socialization Wood bottom and upper grill section in door Affordable version of our Savannah Fully customizable options include feeder doors, brass finials and night latches for extra security
We do tend to go on a bit about our Rubicon horse stall being named “The Perfect Stall” by Dr. Karen Hayes, noted author and DVM, but we’re really proud of that distinction. The book by the same name touches on the design features for which our stall was chosen - style, safety, and ease of maintenance. The Rubicon, another of our European style stalls, has a low front designed at a respectable 5 feet, which discourages potential jumpers. Unlike the Savannah, the Rubicon door bottom is solid wood. As with all of the stalls in our Artisan series, double rolled channel holds the wood in place. Other companies use formed channel, which is
not only less attractive but has sharp edges and is considerably less strong. The stainless steel and brass finger latch used on the Rubicon – and all of our hinged doors – is self closing and eliminates protruding parts. Competitors in our industry use latches that aren’t self closing (and therefore are prone to scratching the paint on the door post) and easily snag clothes and horseflesh. Don’t settle for second best – buy a perfect stall!

A contemporary feel in a European style stall? You betcha! The Durango features the low front that encourages your horse to socialize, yet its straight, sleek lines are distinctly contemporary. And it’s those linear lines that are going to save you money, as there is no bending of steel involved like there is with our other Euro stalls.

It’s basically a much simpler version of our Rubicon, yet still retains the innovative features that our stalls are known for. Although designed for post and beam barns, it’ll work equally as well if you don’t have support posts – just order them from us. Wood posts look natural in a barn, but we think the steel
support posts look really slick with the stall fronts as well. As with all our hinged stalls, the safety latch in the stall door can be accessed from inside or outside the stall, so you and your horse will never be trapped inside the stall under dangerous conditions. And it’s recessed within the stall door, which will discourage the brightest equine Houdini. Experience the innovative design that is the Durango. It’s a little bit rustic, a little bit sleek and a whole lotta style.

All grill door and top grill wings allow excellent air circulation Centered door for extra strength Top notch sliding door hardware and door stays included Plunger latch is unobtrusive and easy to operate
Where your horses spend their time shouldn’t resemble a jail cell - they should be spending time in the barn, not doing time in the barn. So when we designed this sliding stall, we made sure it was functional, yes, but beautiful as well. The stall slides in a track using carriages that are superior quality - they roll smoothly and quietly every time. This stall is a Rolls Royce - not a Pinto - and it glides like one. It opens with a plunger latch, which is disguised as a part of the door grill that you simply pull down to operate from inside or outside of the stall. The grills in the door top are tightly spaced and in the bottom are even tighter so that little hooves won’t get stuck. And if you’d like, we can build into those grills a hinged feed door, either in the door to use as a yoke or in the wings so that you don’t have to go into the stall to feed.

The Monterey stall looks very similar to the Montana, but the stall door has a wood bottom rather than a grilled bottom. Although it costs less, its style doesn’t suffer. It still features design details like horizontal wood panels and scalloped wood retainers that add class to your barn. Standard with this sliding stall is the finest in sliding door hardware. The door carriages have super strong, yet super quiet, nylon wheels which don’t clang around in the track like other door carriages do. And the door “stays”, which are bolted to the floor so that your door stops where it’s supposed to, are made of nylon – chosen for its strength and its ability to absorb sound.
Customize the Monterey with a yoke in the stall door, a hinged feed door or rotating feed door, custom sizing or our gorgeous exotic hardwood. We make these to order, and will design yours so that it works for your budget and your barn. Heavy gauge steel, full welds and a high stall door make this a really secure stall for your horse.

The capital of Wyoming, Cheyenne is known for the strong Chinook winds that blow across its plains. Our Cheyenne stall is known for its strength as well – a full height stall for the security some horses require.
Centered door slides left or right
The Cheyenne was one of the first sliding stalls we offered. Its appeal lies not only in its affordability but its function as well.
Upper grills spaced 3” O.C. for a secure stall
Consisting of a centered stall door with 2 wings, it’s a stall that would be perfect for large facilities where a high stall front is important. It’s strong, it’s secure and it won’t break the bank.
Double rolled channel means no exposed steel edges Easy and safe plunger latch
Its features include tightly spaced - and fully welded - grill tops with wood bottoms. And as with all the stalls in our Artisan series, that wood sits in a channel that is double rolled for strength, safety and beauty. The latch is an easy-to-use, no maintenance plunger latch - just pull down and slide your door open. When you open the door, that threshold will be completely clear - nothing for you or your horse to trip on. Affordable, practical, safe - aren’t these the features you’re looking for in your next horse stall?

tahoe Our Tahoe horse stall was named after the iconic Lake Tahoe, the largest alpine lake in North America. Almost literally right out our back door, “The Lake” – as the locals call it – is surrounded by forests full of pine and fir. Our Tahoe horse stall was designed so you can use your own pine or fir (or other lumber), which can be a great money saver.
One piece frame with offset door Full grill tops in door and wings Standard 12’ width fits most barns Hinged feeder door standard
“
“
One of two stalls in our Builders’ Series, the frame of the Tahoe is fabricated as one piece at a standard width of 12’. The offset door is then installed onsite. This makes for a really economical stall not only because it’s easier to ship but because there is no customization of size. This makes it a great choice for barns with posts already installed to accommodate that 12’ dimension.
We have our horses in the new stalls you fabricated last year and they are great. Excellent quality!!!

With the Builders’ Series stalls, we’ve swapped out our double rolled channel that holds the wood for a formed channel. Formed channel will accommodate standard sized lumber, and that’s a big money saver. The welds on the grill tops are hidden inside the channel, giving you a clean and streamlined look.
Horizontal wood panels, which continue from the wings through to the stall door, are there not just to add class, but to strengthen the stall as well. And they’re held in place by beautiful scalloped retainers - we call ‘em gussets. There are many ways to customize this stall to your liking. We can center the door, add a yoke, provide posts to which you can attach the stalls, and make them wider or more narrow to fit your barn. And with standard features such as a hinged feeder door, you’re getting value, function and style with the Tahoe.

When we heard that the ranchers of Cheyenne, WY – in years past – would drive their cattle herds to the mild climate of Laredo, TX for the winters, we thought that epitomized the true definition of sister cities. And our Laredo horse stall is the affordable sister to our Cheyenne horse stall.

Our most basic horse stall, the Laredo is also part of our Builders’ Series and was designed to offer you the most cost effective solution for your barn. Like the Tahoe, it’s fabricated at a standard 12’ width. The offset door fits into a one piece, full sized frame for easy installation. Features include high quality sliding door track, carriages and door stays as well as an easy-to-use plunger latch. Standard 2x6 lumber will fit in the formed channel so you can use fir or pine or another wood of your choice - a great money saver. A hinged feeder door is included in the price (who gives away a hinged feeder door at no charge?). As with all of our stalls, finish the Laredo in your choice of powder coating - black or hunter green - or hot dip galvanize it if you live near the ocean and want that extra measure of corrosion resistance.

A stall partition functions as the divider between 2 stalls, so what type of horses you have and how they interact with each other should be first in your mind when selecting the correct style. From solid wood, to all grill tops, to a combination of the two, we have a selection for all horse breeds and personalities. And of course they pair beautifully with our horse stalls.

The stall fronts are absolutely elegant and beautifully made. The wood/ steel/glass doors function beautifully, are amazingly sturdy and add elegance and light to the barn. The hardwood adds such a rich color, texture and comforting feel. It is also easy to keep clean. The wash wand is well- designed and easy to use. I love the safety aspect of having the hose off the floor. All the accessories are beautifully constructed and the fact that they could be powder-coated to match the other components really ties everything together. The people at Innovative Equine were a joy to work with - from the first stages of design to the final installation of their products. Their service and support is unmatched in the industry.

grain feed opening Our grain feed opening is a convenient and time saving feature that we can add to any style stall. This is an opening cut into either the right or left wing of the stall and enables you to put a grain scoop through to a feeder on the other side. Small details like this are what help to make barn chore time more manageable.

yokes Door and window yokes are not only pretty to look at but are truly functional. These “v” shaped openings allow your horse to socialize through their stall or Dutch doors, prevent them from eating your barn wood and give you an easy way to feed. From yokes that slide to yokes that drop down to yokes that are removable, choose the style that best fits you and your horse.

It has really been a pleasure working with your team on these projects. As a general contractor, we find it very common for other contractors and suppliers to try and find additional costs they can charge us after giving us a quote. When we got the pricing for the second stables, we were pleased that the quoted price from a year before was still good despite our request for a non standard configuration. The welds, powder coating and overall finish of the products are of very high quality and the function of the stalls and feeder doors is user friendly. Your products are priced competitively and your staff is well informed, professional and polite. I would recommend Innovative Equine Systems to anyone.

bridle racks
saddle racks
blanket racks
Available in 4-post and 8-post versions, these bridle racks were designed with your tack in mind. The large round posts on which your bridles rest prevent your valuable leather from getting creased. For convenience, there are no hooks involved – simply slide your bridles on and off – and there are no sharp metal edges anywhere. And they’re powder coated – not painted – for a long lasting finish.
Store and display your saddles in style with our saddle racks, which are made of powder coated heavy duty steel and exotic hardwood. Mount them to your tack room or barn wall with the included steel wall bracket and hardware. These beauties will hold the weight of any saddle and will last a lifetime.
A saddle blanket rack in a barn is just a necessity. It not only keeps things neat and tidy, but it allows your blanket or pad to dry properly. We have a couple of different styles. Our fixed blanket rack, which holds a generous sized blanket, also has 2 bridle or halter pegs for added convenience. And our 5-post rotating blanket rack allows you to store multiple blankets on long arms that rotate independently of each other, then rotate back to lie flat against the wall.

One of our best selling accessories is our rotating wash wand, which is a ceiling mounted unit with a swivel that allows you to walk a complete circle around your horse at bath time. This is not only a time saver, but a safety feature as well – no hose underfoot to trip up your horse.
Watering is a chore – unless you have our automatic waterers, available for mild or cold climates. Never worry again about hauling buckets or water freezing in the winter. All innards are completely concealed from big lips, including the float valve, which keeps cool, clean water in the bowl at all times. These are low maintenance, safe and affordable with no metal parts to rust and no sharp edges to cause injury.
Our grain feeders – available in high density plastic or cast aluminum – make feeding time a bit more pleasant for your horses. Rather than having them try to reach into the bottom of a bucket, getting their eyes poked by metal handles, why not make it a bit easier with these feeders, designed for safety and shaped so that your horses can get the very last bit of grain. The plastic model is extremely durable, available in a ton of colors and is very inexpensive. The cast aluminum model is indestructible, can be mounted on your stall wall, or can be used as part of our horse stalls’ rotating grain feeder door.
One of the top three health hazards for your horse is lack of circulation and air flow. Stagnant air can cause respiratory issues, heat stress and increased insect population. Our cooling fans provide relief from the heat, dissipate toxins and dust, and help to keep the bugs away. Most of our clients mount one in each stall and tell us their horses stand directly in the air flow, enjoying the fresh air. A fan is a wise choice for your horses’ health.
What a convenience these little magnets are! They are small but powerful, with a 63 lb. holding force. Install them on the outside of your barn to keep your Dutch doors open, or on your interior stalls to keep a hinged stall door open. It’s dangerous to have a door get away from you in the wind or to have a horse run into an open door in the aisle. Secure them firmly with our hold open door magnets.
A hook and a rope are no way to securely tie your horse. Our cross tie anchors have a 5,000 lb. holding capacity and have an inner ring that lifts away from its recess for ease of use. Powder coated black, (shown custom coated in red) these cross ties will find a home in many areas of your barn, including grooming stations, wash racks, aisles and shoeing areas.

Rehabilitation

The stalls are exquisite, stunningly aesthetic, functional, horse-friendly and very easy to clean. It has been a pleasure, with your input, bringing this barn from the dream stage to the conceptual stage to the building stage. It was so nice to deal with ONE company for the major components of my new barn. Thanks for your patience, your expertise, your products!

Exercisers
Cold water spas
Solariums
Build your horses’ strength and endurance with our top of the line exercisers. An essential tool for any training or rehabilitation center, these automatic walkers are at the forefront of leading edge technology. The old style walkers require horses to be tied to the machine, which is not the safest form of automated exercise, and most can accommodate only one horse at a time. Our exerciser allows horses to exercise freely between a set of gates and a number of horses can be exercised at the same time. The speed and direction of travel is easily adjusted, the machine is whisper quiet, and the system is designed for years of maintenance-free use.
Since the beginning of time, cold has been used as a form of therapy to treat injuries. Our cold water hydrotherapy spas utilize four basic principles: temperature, water depth, salt concentration and aeration. Cold temperatures reduce cell damage and pain. Water depth causes pressure, which reduces swelling. High salt concentration promotes healing by drawing out fluids and reducing inflammation. And the aeration of the water aids healing through massaging and relaxation. Bring the therapeutic properties of the sea to your horse with cold water hydrotherapy.
A solarium, which is a system of large red lamps that give off infrared heat, will help your horse by improving performance, increasing circulation, and reducing injury. The heat energy generated by the lamps penetrates the skin, aiding in warming up prior to exercise, and drying and loosening muscles after exercise. This form of infrared therapy is a safe method of natural health care and physiotherapy for your horse.

door handles
sliding door carriages
sliding door stays
Adorn your barn with our heavy duty door handles. Available with galvanized or powder coated black finishes, these are a must for your large sliding barn doors.
Don’t skimp on the quality of your sliding door carriages. Ours have nylon wheels for smooth and quiet operation and ball bearings for years of maintenance free use.
The bottom blade of your barn or stall door will slide quietly into the receiving slot on our strong nylon door stays, without the clang associated with metal door stops.
hinges
quickrail brackets
finger latches
We have 2 types of adjustable hinges available for your doors. Our heavy duty strap hinges add a unique finishing touch and come as singles or doubles in a variety of widths. Our lollipop hinges make for easy installation and consist of a stainless hinge bolt with a super strong Delrin bushing pressed into the hinge.
Containing large animals like a horse can be challenging, but our QuickRail brackets are up for that challenge. Standard 1-1/4” pipe fits through the center of the steel bracket and is affixed to your post with hardware of your choice. Additional strength is available by ordering optional steel posts.
Our mortised finger latches can be added to your hinged stall doors or exterior Dutch doors. A great safety feature, these latches are recessed into your stall or Dutch door and allow you to open the door with just a finger – from inside or outside the stall.
