I built a similar structure last year (a run in for our 2 Clydesdales).   

 

I only have one of those (concrete)and he stays outside. The shoe hanging from the collar had to be from before 1950 when grandpa got his JD model m and sold his last team.  I found it while I was planting corn last spring.

Certainly not saying your plan is not good, just sharing what worked for me..

 

This is pretty dang close to what I had in mind.  Maybe 6 feet deeper?  2x14' 2x6 for the front beams?
The more look into this I realize I either need to curb by depth to the 12' or 15' range, or do a peaked roof.
