Stud Panels (baby panels)

The addition of a stud panel, or baby panel, to a horse trailer is one of the most common upgrades done in our shop. It was originally named a stud panel because it was added below the existing horse divider (normally the front divider) so stud horses could be carried in the front compartment without worrying about kicking or pawing the horse next to it. Besides protecting horses the stud panel also works well to contain bales of hay, bags of wood shavings, grain, and other items stored in the front stall.

Most stud or baby panels are constructed of aluminum and can be welded or bolted on to the existing divider and most are designed so they can be easily removed or attached by 3 bolts as well. They are also not limited to only the front stall, they usually can be attached below any divider that does not telescope or have break in it.

Existing divider measurements and wall measurements are required to determine the availability and exact price. Generally you can expect to pay at least $500 + tax for the panel and installation. Please email trailers@coolhorse.com or call 800-749-0522 for more information or a specific quote.
