Claim:
A confinement for horses comprising at least three feeding stalls linked side-by-side, each stall having first and second opposed side frames, each of said frames having a front post and a rear post interconnected by a plurality of spaced apart horizontal rails; alternating stalls having first and second elevated top members, said first elevated top member extending transversely between and interconnecting the front posts and said second elevated top member extending transversely between and interconnecting the rear posts, a coupling for mating the elevated top members with the posts; said alternating stalls having first and second flat bottom members, said first flat bottom member extending transversely between and interconnecting the front posts and said second flat bottom member extending transversely between and interconnecting the rear posts, a coupling for mating the flat bottom members with the posts; and, a gate extending transversely between the front posts, said gate having opposing side edges and hingedly attached to one of said front posts along one of the side edges and latched to the other of said front posts along the other of the side edges one of said opposed side frames forming a common wall between adjacent stalls, each of said side frames having at least two short lengths of pipe affixed inboard of each post to a topmost of the horizontal rails, additional alternating stalls having third and fourth elevated top members extending transversely between and interconnecting at least two of the at least two short lengths of pipe to at least two short lengths of pipe disposed on opposing side frames respectively; at least two short lengths of pipe affixed inboard of each post on the bottommost of said horizontal rails, said additional alternating stalls having third and fourth flat bottom members extending transversely between and interconnecting at least two of the at least two short lengths of pipe to at least two short lengths of pipe disposed on opposing side frames respectively; and said at least two short lengths of pipe affixed to the topmost of the horizontal rails being a length such that said at least two short lengths of pipe extends above the topmost of the horizontal rails the same distance as the front and rear posts and said at least two short lengths of pipe affixed to the bottommost of the horizontal rails being a length such that said at least two short lengths of pipe extends below the bottommost of the horizontal rails the same distance as the front and rear posts.
