I would just get a nylon round pen after getting a concussion for hitting every bar on the way down.

My stallion would hit his head on that gate's top bar thing. Hes 19.2 hh and pretty thick, too(percheron). I'd probably replace that gate with another one, if I were able to, and hen I might consider it worth getting. They're soooo expensive!
