Beautiful Horse inside the Pen

Beautiful Horse inside the Pen - The round pen, sometimes called a bullpen is a round enclosure used for horse training. They range in diameter from a minimum of 30 feet (9.1 m) to a maximum of 100 feet (30 m), with most designs 50 to 60 feet (15 to 18 m) in diameter. Footing is usually sand or other soft dirt. The sides are 6 to 8 feet (1.8 to 2.4 m) high, traditionally made of wooden posts with rails or wooden boards, modern round pens are often made out of portable pipe panels that allow the pen to be made bigger or smaller, or to be moved.



Designs vary. Traditional designs intended for control of untamed feral horses are made of heavy lumber and up to 8 feet (2.4 m) high, to prevent the animal from jumping out or running through the fence. Traditional round pens have closely spaced rails that allow foot room for a human to climb out of the pen, but also give the fence great strength and also discourage the animal from seeking escape due to the near-solid appearance of closely spaced rails. Most modern round pens, however, are intended for domesticated horses who do not fear humans. These designs commonly are built about 6 feet (1.8 m) high, which still discourages jumping out, but use fewer materials and are less expensive. There are two common modern designs. One, made of pipe, 2 by 6 inches (51 by 152 mm) planks or round rails, resembles a traditional fence, with fewer rails than a traditional type, as the modern domestic horse usually respects fences and does not consider the normal gaps between fence rails to offer a means of escape. In this design, the bottom section of the fence may be solid to prevent the sand or loose dirt from being pushed out of the pen by the movement of the animal. The other design, sometimes called a "bullpen," has completely solid walls, usually plywood placed over traditional rails or planks, to completely block all outside visual distractions and to allow the horse to concentrate on the handler. Sometimes the walls of a bullpen slant outward slightly. The solid-walled design may also reduce wind, and thus allow work in more inclement weather than a more open design. The drawback to a bullpen design is that the solid, smooth walls hinder a human's escape from the pen by climbing over the fence if needed.
