I will put my vote in for a seperate space besides the stall for vet
or farrier work, and over head lights are GREAT! The better the
place the happier and a better job the farrier can do, and as a group
we are more likley to come back to a place that is clean, flat, dry,
well lit...stalls are ok, but the light is awful in a stall usually.
