Anyone know where you can get them? The kind they set up for fairs/shows/exhibitions. That or premanufactured stall kit?
Never heard of portable tie stalls! Doesn’t SOUND like a good idea, especially if you should put a horse in there who does not tie WELL. Such a horse flying backwards, could pull the whole thing askew, or start things coming apart. Because stalls are NOT anchored solidly, a fighting horse weight turns into a weapon of destruction.
I LOVE tie stalls, but have only used solidly anchored ones in barns, with WELL TRAINED to tie, horses. They just DO NOT fight the rope or suddenly try to blast out backwards to escape their stalls.
This idea does NOT sound well thought out. Probably NOT going to end well using “any old horse” who has an owner wanting to use a cheap stall. Horses who tie WELL have had extensive time in being trained for tying, have experience in tying for long times and being well behaved while doing it.
Tying well, is not such a common skill these days as it used to be.
Portable box stalls would be a MUCH safer idea to rent.
The canadian mountie uses the blue ones when they are on the road.
The second picture is portable ones, set there permanently.
I don’t know where you can buy them, but most of the companies that sell those will make any kind of stall or panels you want:
The first picture (blue stalls) looks like small box stalls with the one side open (check out how wide they are!)- with maybe a gate folded back against one wall.
Either one of those would do. They would be permanently secured. Just where do you buy those panels?

I imagine almost any semi-custom modular stall company could set you up. They’re just shortened versions.
Corral panels can be bought that have a smaller gate inset. We have our pens set up that way, three 16 foot plain panels plus one with an integral gate. We also have two 12’ panels that we have used to make a 12 x 16 pen using the gate panel and one of the 16 footers.
They can sit alone, although my DH likes to lash them together tightly with baling twine so the horses don’t bump them and make noise all night, he also has planted a t-post on the outside and lashed to that when our pony was being very pushy and beating up on the panels, the t post gives stability.
Tarter is near us, fair quality stuff. http://tarterusa.com/product-lines/farm-ranch/
TSC sells them, Southern States, a couple of independent feed stores have them in the back.
She doesn’t want BOX stalls, she wants tie stalls.
Corral panels would be UNSAFE to use as tie stall walls, too easy to catch a leg kicking at the next horse over, plus being so short horses can reach over the tops, “invade the space” of next horse and create a fight.
Bluey’s photos of the RCMP show stall walls to be SOLID at the lower half with bars on the top half, so NO REACHING OVER is possible. Solid lower half should prevent a kick catching a hoof like a corral panel can.
Been some previous posts on horses who got damaged being stalled in corral panel stalls, so not a practice I would recommend. Yeah, some horses never get hurt, but those who do get hurt, have usually been severely injured. California folks who have the small paddocks with corral panels, have written about numerous injuries using them.
Tie stalls. Point taken, we boxed our shared corral panel with 2 sheets of plywood and 2x6 to create a solid barrier.
