Using that first stall for extra storage is the best thing ever. I'd add a stud wall to keep dirt ( read- manure) straw,shavings..etc from getting in there and eventually into the LQ ( if you don't already have one.)

Would a stud wall have to be a proprietary thing? Or are there after market studwalls, or do I have to have one custom made? I sure like that idea of making that front stall into a mid-tack when not being used for a second horse.

If you have a two horse Bison; the divider should be a telescoping divider; which makes it impossible to use the standard lower half divider, due to the telescoping feature of the divider. You would have to have a fab shop make you something that would telescope along with the divider. We have used hanging rubber mats that move when you telescope the divider, but this method isn't ideal.

we just made them out of stall mats. Drilled the holes, placed the mats on the divider and used carriage bolts to secure. Heavy enough not to allow something to roll under.
