| Consumer Price Spot Check: Stall Gates Posted: 05 Aug 2010 01:15 PM PDT Riley enjoys a nice dutch door (bottom half only, no top half) on his stall. Unfortunately, he has gotten in the habit of thrusting his big head out of his dutch door and annoying boarders and their horses in nearby cross ties. He also likes to lean on the door (naughty naughty). The remedy, as usual, seems to be up-ending my wallet. The web stall guards don't work, he chews them to pieces. Gotta buy a stall gate. My shopping research This 33X52 "show stall gate is available at a number of equestrian Web sites. I'm going to say they're all identical and from the same manufacturer.So let's do some cost comparisons! - The winner at $97 plus tax is Valley Vet Supply at $55 for the gate and $42 for shipping.
- Dover Saddlery, total $159 plus tax ( $119 for the gate, about $40 for shipping).
- Shanes Tack, total $130 ($96 for gate, $34 for shipping etc.)
- Big Dees over $109 (85 for gate, $24 for shipping)
Oh, and while I'm on the subject of stall gates, there are stall gates out there that look interesting (although not terribly chic). They're from Equigym and another company--not cheap, but they look safe don't they?
