what size corral for a horse
The appropriate dimensions for horse corrals is important for the health and safety of both the horse and handler. The number of horses and size of horses will help determine what size corral is going to be needed. For a single horse, a corral of 10 feet by 12 feet and 5 feet high will be sufficient. This is considered small, but is plenty of room for a short stay. Most public corrals will be this size. The standard rule of thumb is a corral should be at minimum 10 feet X 20 feet.
