Healthy Barn, Healthy Horse

All Purpose Structures understands horses' needs

We all like to see healthy animals on a farm. Some farms, however, are at a much higher risk for sick animals. The solution to having healthy horses may be easier and simpler that you think. The answer lies in whether or not your animals have a proper home.

Dr. Craig A. Smith (DVM), a veterinarian in Washington state, explains the vital importance of having a home to shelter animals.  “The climate of the Pacific Northwest requires that all animals have access to a solid structure to get out of wind, rain, and away from soggy ground. Many of the disease conditions veterinarians are called to consult upon have their basis in either no shelter at all or a building that simply does not prevent exposure to the weather.”
