WIL
HOWE ROUND PEN FEATURES:
Quality
Construction
–
Our manufacturer has been in the business for over
20 years in the Northwest and their product is
regarded as the "Ultimate in Horse Fencing." They
build our proven custom-designed round pen to be
the best & safest. Our product is appealing,
safe, easy to install and extremely long lasting,
all the things today’s horse owners are
looking for in a round pen. Constructed of
American-made 1 5/8" OD round galvanized steel
tubing. Tubing has a .065 wall thickness and a
55,000 lb. Yield strength. The rust-free finish
will provide decades of use and retain its
decorative silver appearance. The joints are
notched and welded all the way around for maximum
strength and a smooth finish. This process
eliminates moisture from penetrating rails and
causing damage. The vertical uprights are built out
of the same material as the rails – each
upright goes clear to the ground for superior
support. The panel and gates are capped to enhance
appearance and prevent injury. We invite you to
compare these features with any on the market. We
are confident you will agree that the Wil Howe
Round Pen is the finest available.
50’
Diameter
– The 50’ size puts the ideal arc in a
horse, assisting in teaching correct leads, and
develops optimum bend, collection and balance. The
50’ size allows you the proper distance to
easily correct and control your horse from a
distance and yet, keep him from avoiding you..
"Size is so critical. If the pen is too large, a
horse can travel around on the incorrect lead,
comfortably, whereas, the 50’ pen makes it
more difficult for the horse and actually teaches
him to pick up and stay on the correct lead
himself. If the pen is too small, it puts too much
pressure on your horse because it‘s impossible
for your horse to relax while moving in tight
quarters. If using a pen that is too large, like a
60’ pen, the opposite is true & a horse
can avoid you very easily, but more importantly,
one has to continually step towards the horse to
keep him moving, if he is a reluctant traveler,
putting you in the threatening "predator" position.
This puts unnecessary pressure on the horse, thus
not accomplishing your goal of gaining trust and
respect in your horse. A 50’ round pen makes
it easier on both the horse & you!"
12’
Panels
– The pen is portable, and made up of 13
– 12’ long panels. Each weighs 90 lbs.,
making them easy to handle & move and, since
they are self-supporting, set-up is a cinch! The
panel clamps and mounting hardware are included for
every panel. At the convenient 12’ length, you
can haul them in a pick up. The pens come with a
4’ wide "built-in panel" bowgate, which is
equipped with a horseshoe latch and quality
hardware. The gate swings both ways, which is ideal
for teaching a horse to open and close a gate off
of.
6’
High
– Most panel pens available are only 5’ -
5½’ and allow the horse to reach over the
panels or try to jump out. This extra height
eliminates that problem and keeps horses from
avoiding you.
|
|
Special
Rail Spacing
–
At 6’ high & only 5 rails, the
top two rails are positioned only 8"
apart, again discouraging any avoidance
from the horse. The bottom rail has been
raised and the center leg has been removed
to reduce interference, and the legs are
straight pipe, with no dangerous loops,
offering the maximum safety benefits.
"As
a horse travels in a circle, the body will
be at an angle, allowing the feet to
travel close to, if not even outside of
the panel. If a horse is working in a pen
made up of the other panels with looped
legs (the loop at the bottom of each end
of the panel) means a horse can step
through the loop and could break their leg
in those dangerous loops. This is why the
straight leg is so superior."
|
|
Clamp
Joints
–
These panels fit snugly together for
strength, with tight fitting clamp joints,
leaving only 3/8" between panels.
The
top corners are squared, eliminating the
dangerous gaps, found in commercial curved
top panels, & pin joints, which
greatly increase the chance of injury,
should horse or tack get caught between
panels.

Open
Pipe Panel Round Pens VS. Solid Wall Round
Pens
"I prefer
the open pipe panel round pens versus the solid
wall round pens. Not only can a horse climb the
walls of a solid pen, especially if they are angled
out, but I’ve seen them do serious injury to
themselves by slipping and either busting a foot
through a solid wall or sliding it under one.
I’ve also found that some horses become very
claustrophobic in solid confinement.
But the
main reason for my preference is that when you work
your horse in the solitary environment of a solid
pen, you do not achieve lasting results, because
you lose your horses’ attention and confidence
when you take them out of the pen and expose them
to the "real world", full of distractions.
The
feeling of freedom that the open pipe pen creates
for the horse produces lasting results, by getting
your horses’ undivided attention, in the midst
of visual distractions."
More
comments from Wil on Round
Pens…
"I have
trained in round pens for the past 20 years, and
before that I worked on several 100 year old
ranches, throughout the West, that had the "old
Bronc pull pen" still standing, and that was before
I even knew how to use one. I’ve since had
every kind of pen you can think of, made of poles,
logs, boards, solid plywood, angled out, heights
from 5’ to 8’ high, 30’ to 140’
in diameter.
Having
used these various types of materials, and worked
thousands of horses in the confines of round
corrals, believe me, I’ve experienced every
kind of circumstance or wreck you can dream of.
Safety for you and your horse should be your #1
priority. With your wooden pens, be it boards or
poles, you have to worry about splinters and stubs
sticking out, boards that break, nail that loosen
and posts that rot. Obviously, I don’t approve
of these types of pens.
For
years, when I put on clinics, I’d use what
ever panels the clinic sponsor could "muster up"
for the clinic. That was quite a learning process,
too. Panels were invariably too short, too weak,
too sharp & dangerous to use. Most panels are
merely livestock panels designed for cattle, with
no thought towards horses, the fact that they are
extremely fragile and accident prone. That’s
how I came to appreciate the features of the round
galvanized pipe panels I use today. Not only do
they work great & hold up with use and are
convenient to handle, they look good,
too!
One point
about these portable panels that people overlook,
is that these panels "give some", since they are
not secured by permanent posts in the ground. This
allows the panels to move or "scoot" a couple of
inches if a horse should run into it or "get in a
storm" and hit it pretty hard. In a secured pen
something is going to give, either your
horses’ hide or your knee, if you are riding
when it happens. All one has to do is to push the
pen back in line, if that should occur, it’s
as simple as that-and what a safeguard! Also most
states won’t tax your corral, as a property
improvement, because it’s
portable."

Round Pen
Whips:
With an easy to grip handle, this
hard-to-find 7½" length whip, with a 8’
long tail, make this the perfect length for
reaching your horse in our 50’ round pen. (The
whip is an "extension" of your arm and should be as
easy to handle as a fly rod is for the fisherman.)
