Horse Trail Bridges and Equestrian Trail Bridges
(click images for full size)
Bridges are often used for training horses on obstacle and trail courses for recreation and/or preparing for horse shows. An obstacle course with a horse bridge will help familiarize horses with the different sounds they experience when walking over wooden structures. Bridges 3-4 feet wide have 3 support stringers under the bridge and wider bridges have more so the bridge is strong enough for horses and the people riding them.
We can build the horse trail bridge to the size you need and can build them completely flat or with a slight incline ramp or as a true arched bridge built for horses. These bridges can also be built with a slight gap between the floor planks or with no gap. Please call 479-243-0375 or email for a price quote.
You will have the option of ordering either of the following:
Thompsons Water Sealer - water based sealer which waterproofs the wood, or
Olympic clear sealer - water based sealer with a clear coat sealant or
Spar Urethane - an exterior oil based varnish or
Rain Forest Wood Sealer made by Earthpaint Inc. which is a non-toxic paint
product made from all natural products and safe for the environment.
6 ft x 10 ft. Horse Trail Bridge
This horse trail bridge, designed for an equestrian trail, is 6 feet wide and 10 feet long. It has extra 2 x 12's for support stringers under the bridge. Gravel was laid over the top after it was assembled and set in place. 8 ft x 6 ft Horse Trail Bridge with Spindle Rails
This horse trail bridge with spindle rails has three underneath supports and two 2 x 12 side support arches to make it extra strong. It also had full size 2 x 2's for the spindles and a 2 x 4's for the top rails. This one is 8 ft long and 6 ft wide but I can build these up to 20 feet long and probably 20 ft wide, using the same design and style.
This bridge is plenty strong enough for lawn tractors, golf carts as well as horses.
These bridges take more work, materials and thus shipping so the price on these is higher than my regular spindle rail bridge. To place an order please call 479-243-0375 or email for a price quote.
This bridge was delivered to Puerto Rico which required the use of Rain Forest Wood Sealer made by Earthpaint Inc. so it would not harm the rain forest or the butterflies. This sealer is made from all natural products, is non-toxic and safe for the environment. It is available for all bridges on this website at special request.
