Hardly anyone uses them any more, since most horses get along fine in the pasture... but these Round-pens are great if you want to keep your horse solitude for a while (or if they don't get along with other equines). In fact they are just calling your name! Any extra money found in the Pinewood budget is currently going towards an indoor riding ring, so we'd sure applicate if you'd fix these old pens up for us. Yes, they are certainly safe enough for turn out, but also not particularly a sight to behold... So it's all up to you.
