I was caretaker for a ten acre property that had a new Morton barn. Lived in one of the two huge ranch style houses with my beagle dogthat was on the property . Stayed two years . That was twelve years ago. Took round the clock care of six really nice show horses , kept all the ten ares of pasture and maintenance on property. To this day it was the best most relaxing time of my life.
Very poor planning to put the hay rack above a horse's head. Horse's eyes can be damaged by dust and debris falling/floating in their eyes. Nature did not intend for a horse to eat with it's head up in the air. Do your homework for building horse healthy designed barns.
Absolutely! or hit their heads on rack. Not to mention the "hay scrap mess" it makes in the isleway that you have to sweep up twice a day. The other problem is the door latch is great until there is an emergency like a fire and the novice or non-horseman doesn't know how it works because they don't know how to open it. And frankly I don't for one minute believe there have been horses living in that barn for ten years on a daily basis. Stall walls are too clean and no bedding on the floor. And horses like to scrape their teeth on the back door walls when bored. I own a Morton I love it, but, hummm

Very impressive, almost makes a man jealous. Looks nice.
CnHoltzman 1 Very good! few people would be aware of this. very dangerous for horses.Good Job.
How wide is your aisle? Thanks
How much did this cost or at least a rough answer if you don’t mind me asking!
What is the dimensions of the main barn area? Thanks
Well designed building
Your hayrack is not a safe design. The V-shape of the pipes is a possible foot-catching hazard.

My thoughts exactly, sir. I totally agree with you. It does make no sense. And just to make it easier to feed a horse? Come on, guys!

I bet these cost a fortune.
