Garage Fan Profile: Caban Horse Farm, Summerfield, FL

Working in blazing heat is miserable for horses and humans alike, so moving a lot of air efficiently matters. Caban Sport Horses in Summerfield, Florida needs serious ventilation, because they deal with high heat and humidity for much of the year.

Their barn has an open design, which lets dust and moisture drift in. They installed a MULE Garage Fan and have run it up to 18 hours a day without worrying that humidity or outside heat will make it overheat and become a hazard to their animals. That safety margin matters, because they aren't always on site to monitor the barn around the clock.

“We struggled to find fans that are safe, powerful but also quiet for our facility.  This fan moves a lot of air but even with multiple fans running our horses are not bothered by noise and we can still have a conversation.”, commented Owner, Gail Caban.

Like a lot of horse owners, Gail had been replacing cheap fans every year or two:

"Sadly, they become disposable as they don't typically hold up long term, they simply stop working or start making weird noises etc. and get sent to the garbage. Our MULE Garage Fan will replace the lesser quality models from the past. This feels like a quality piece of equipment, I expect it to last for years to come. It looks great too!", Gail notes.

On installation, she added:

"I installed this myself in about 15 minutes. Directions were clear, the pieces fit together as they should. I also like the option of a shorter or longer down rod, depending on where they are placed, I have a need for both. It is easy to switch between if you are not sure what you want when you start the install."
