Why “Heavy Timber” Matters .
The equestrian market is flooded with lightweight “panel” stables. They look fine on day one, but they aren’t built to withstand the force of an animal weighing upwards of 500KG or the test of time. Where horse security and horse welfare is of all-important heavy duty traditional built stables should be the standard.
At Mottaghan Reid, we do things differently. We build stables using Post & Beam or Structural Timber Frame construction—the same way we build barns. Our frames are substantial, robust, and designed to take a kick without compromising the structure. We provide a safe, warm, and durable environment that protects your horses and a better return on investment.
The Residential Range
Heavy Timber Stable s
Forget thin shiplap panels. Our stables feature structural framework and cladding up to 27mm. Fully customisable layouts including tack rooms, hay barns, and wash bays.
American Barn s
The ultimate equestrian luxury. House your horses,
Field Shelters
Rugged mobile or static timber field shelters. Built with the same robust heavy-duty structural framing as our main barns, ensuring they don’t warp, twist or rot in the harsh open paddock environment.
Designed for Horse & Rider.
Stables must withstand the horses and the weather. We use pressure-treated timbers and heavy-duty ironmongery to engineer frames that last, from single loose boxes to professional livery yard setups.
Fast Track Service
Need stabling quickly? Our in-house manufacturing allows us to design, cut, and install our heavy-duty standard stable frames in as little as 3 weeks.
Warm & Dry
Timber is a natural insulator. Our heavy-build specification keeps stables cooler in summer and warmer in winter, reducing respiratory issues compared to steel or concrete.
