As long as they are fed and the area mucked out every day, yes. I've known horses who have lived in round pens for months at a time. The owner moved the round pen constantly though so that her horse would still be able to graze regularly as well as fed hay, water, and mucked every day.
A round pen's size is determined in part by the size of the horse using it. A mini will need far less space than a clydesdale. The usual size for an average round pen is 60 feet in diameter.
Lunging is an activity where a horse is placed in a round pen, possibly on a lunge line, and trots or canters in circles around the pen. It's used to teach a horse to accept tack, balance better, calm down, or help a rider.
A round pen with a diameter between 50-60 feet is typically recommended for join-up exercises. For safety reasons and optimal results, it is not recommended to use a portable electric fence for join-up. A solid round pen or enclosed area with good footing is ideal to establish trust and communication with the horse during join-up.
Pigs can live in all different sizes of pens. The biggest pig once lived in a pen the size of a horse.
A horse pen has to be at least 3 -4 yards long, in order to let the horse exercise. DO NOT CUT THE GRASS IN THE PEN!
No. While a round pen is desirable and makes it a lot easier, it is quite possible to do without. In fact, Monty Roberts joined up with a mustang in the wild with no pen at all! He had a horse that he rode however to keep up with the mustang since there was no way to confine the horse.
Another name for a horse pen is a paddock or a corral.
No, hens do not live in a pen. Hens live in what is called a coop. Pigs are the animals that live in a pen.
I suppose it's possible, but pretty unlikely. ***** A pen (stall) for a horse is likely to be a square or a rectangle in shape.
Usually a pen is moved by a hand.
