Various kinds of stall partitions are shown in Figs. 102 to 105. Sometimes the woodwork of the panel is arranged hori- zontally so as to save it as much as possible from a kicking horse, but the best protection against this class of vice is a proper-kicking mat such as may be seen in the stalls of Fig. 89. Most panels are made with a shifting piece which allows of new boards being inserted if they get broken. The stall division should not touch the ground, there should be a space between it and the floor, so as to prevent the woodwork getting wet when the floor is washed. Digitized by Microsoft®.
