Each galvanized-steel panel weighs only 15 pounds, so one person can carry, assemble, and load the whole corral with no helper and no heavy lifting.

What sizes of portable corral does Travel N Corrals offer?

Travel N Corrals offers single round horse stalls in 13' x 13', 16' x 16', and 18' x 18', plus a double 13' x 13' configuration for two horses, with larger sizes available up to 18' x 18'. The 13' x 13' round is the biggest single corral on the market — competitors' 10' x 10' square pens are simply too small to leave a horse in for long, while a true round pen lets your horse circle and settle. Because the system is modular, you can add panels at any time if you want to go bigger.

What makes Travel N Corrals panels safe and durable?

Every panel is built as three rails with bracing, and the rail spacing is set specifically for horse safety — two-rail panels let a horse get its head underneath and flip the corral, which these are designed to prevent. All welds are notched for strength, and the panels lock together with a patented full-length 4-foot steel rod every 7 feet that a horse cannot pull out, unlike short pins or Velcro that a horse can work loose. The galvanized steel keeps its finish for many years instead of chipping or scratching like painted or powder-coated panels, and once assembled the corral feels heavier and more secure to the horse. The corrals are built for tame, broke horses — not for unbroken or unruly animals or cattle.

"I was thrilled with the quality and strength of the Travel N Corrals when they arrived. Light, yet very strong, the panels were easy to put together and very roomy. I was even able to place them inside the dressing room of my horse trailer above the gooseneck for easy transportation. I got the double 13 x 13 so both my large Quarter Horse and smaller Morgan could have a stall, and was very pleased to see that the corrals were plenty roomy for both. The horses settled in quickly. I would recommend Travel N Corrals to anyone with horses!" Ann Pruitt, InfoHorse.com

How easy is it to set up?

The whole system was designed for a woman to handle alone — so just about anyone can set it up. At 15 pounds per panel, a complete corral assembles in about 10 to 15 minutes, and one person can both build it on arrival and break it down and load it for the next leg of the trip. No tools, no second set of hands, no wrestling heavy gates.

Who started Travel N Corrals?

The company began when its owner, Lynette, decided to travel with her horses again and could not find a portable corral she trusted to keep them safe. Her husband John designed and fabricated a set of panels for her — and Travel N Corrals was born. The result is a corral designed by horse people, for horse people, and the company stands behind it with a lifetime material-and-workmanship guarantee to the original owner, versus the 30-day warranty common elsewhere.

Who started Travel N Corrals?

Per Travel N Corrals, the company began when the owner Lynette decided to travel with her horses again. After searching online, she found nothing she'd feel comfortable putting her horse in. Her husband John designed and fabricated a set of panels for her — and Travel N Corrals was born. The design is by horse people, for horse people.

How fast can the corral be set up?

Per Travel N Corrals, the lightweight panels let you build a 13' x 13', 16' x 16', or 18' x 18' single round horse stall right next to your trailer in less than 15 minutes. Double horse corrals are also available in 13' x 13'. Setup is one-person — no helper required.

How heavy are the panels?

Per Travel N Corrals, individual panels weigh only 15 pounds each — light enough for one person to construct or load for travel.

How are the panels connected?

Per Travel N Corrals, panels are connected every 7' with a full-length 4' steel pipe rod a horse cannot pull out — versus short pins or Velcro that horses can work loose. Panels are notched and welded for strength, so they last for many years rather than expanding until the horse bends one and the panel will no longer open or close.

What's the panel material?

Per Travel N Corrals, panels are galvanized steel — looks the same for many years, versus painted or powder-coated panels that can chip or scratch after several uses.

Why does the corral size matter?

Per Travel N Corrals' safety testing, corral size is a big factor — which is why their corrals are the biggest available at 13' x 13' round, so the horse can circle. Competitors at 10' x 10' square are too small to leave a horse in for long.

Is there a warranty?

Yes. Travel N Corrals panels carry a lifetime material-and-workmanship guarantee for the original owner, versus the 30-day warranty common on other panels. The corrals are intended for use with tame, broke horses.
