Protection and Freedom of Choice in the Pasture
A well-designed field shelter is never a secondary element in the pasture. It is a place where animals feel secure, where calm naturally arises and where they can decide for themselves when to seek shelter. A shelter stable from Mulder Stable and Yard provides year-round protection against rain, wind and intense sunlight, without compromising the openness of the landscape.
Horses benefit from this freedom of choice. They can move freely across the pasture and retreat whenever weather conditions require protection. This natural balance between open space and shelter supports instinctive behaviour and contributes to overall wellbeing. The same applies to ponies, sheep, goats, donkeys, alpacas and other grazing livestock. Every species benefits from a dry, stable and secure place in the field where wind protection is created and undisturbed rest is possible.
Manufactured in the Netherlands and delivered from large stock, our shelter stables are available throughout Europe with reliable lead times.
Fully Maintenance-Free and Built for Intensive Use
A field shelter must withstand daily impact. That is why our shelter stables are entirely maintenance-free. No painting, no timber treatment and no recurring upkeep. You invest in a durable structure that maintains its professional appearance for many years.
The robust steel frame forms the solid foundation of every model. Combined with high-quality polymer or bamboo plank types, this creates a construction that is resistant to rot, moisture, UV exposure and pests. Whether horses lean against the walls or goats move curiously along the planks, the shelter remains stable and structurally sound. Cleaning is straightforward; rinsing is generally sufficient to keep the shelter fresh and presentable.
Three Roof Designs, Each with Its Own Character
Within the range of field shelters and shelter stables, you can choose from three roof designs, each offering a distinct architectural identity and functional benefit.
The lean-to roof features a clean and modern profile that integrates seamlessly into open pasture landscapes. Thanks to its generous overhang, this design provides effective protection against rainfall and sunlight.
The mono-pitch roof creates additional depth and wind protection. This configuration is ideal when animals prefer to stand sheltered during strong winds or when you wish to create a generous feeding area beneath the extended roofline.
The gable roof offers a classic and symmetrical appearance, combined with increased internal height. This enhances spatial perception and supports natural air circulation beneath the roof structure.
Whichever roof design you select, every shelter stable is engineered with attention to stability, durability and long-term comfort.
Dimensions for Small and Large Herds
Every location and every type of livestock requires appropriate dimensions. Our field shelters are therefore available in multiple sizes, ranging from compact models for one or two animals to spacious configurations for larger groups.
Compact dimensions are ideal for smaller plots or hobby livestock. Wider models provide ample space for multiple horses or for group housing of ponies, sheep or alpacas. Larger configurations promote calm herd dynamics by offering sufficient space for animals to move away from one another when needed.
Each size is designed for intensive agricultural use and engineered to perform under varying European weather conditions.
Durable Roof Construction with Reliable Protection
When configuring your field shelter or shelter stable, you can choose between two durable roofing systems.
Insulated sandwich panels contain a thermal core that provides excellent temperature and sound insulation. This increases comfort during hot summers and cold winters, particularly when animals spend extended periods inside the shelter.
Corrugated steel roof sheets with anti-condensation fleece offer a solid and economically proven solution for outdoor environments. The anti-condensation layer prevents drip formation during temperature fluctuations and ensures dependable protection against wind and precipitation.
Both systems are professionally finished and integrate seamlessly with the heavy-duty steel structure.
Available from Stock and Flexible in Application
One of the key advantages of our field shelters is their direct availability from stock in the Netherlands. This enables rapid response to changing weather conditions and ensures your animals have immediate access to a dry and secure environment.
Each shelter stable is supplied with clear assembly instructions and fixing materials. If preferred, our experienced installation team can manage delivery and professional assembly throughout Europe.
For optimal stability and longevity, installation on a level surface is recommended, preferably a concrete base or strip foundation. Optional upgrades include gutter systems and powder coating in a RAL colour of your choice, ensuring the shelter integrates perfectly with the character of your property.
A Durable Solution for Every Type of Grazing Animal
Whether you keep sport horses, leisure ponies, sheep in rural landscapes, goats on a smallholding, donkeys or alpacas on a spacious pasture, a maintenance-free field shelter provides calm, protection and certainty. Solid and durable shelter is not a luxury, but an essential part of responsible livestock management.
With a shelter stable from Mulder Stable and Yard, you choose freedom for your animals and long-term reliability for yourself.
