Stallion Shelters: On Horse Stables

Few animals can match the vigor and majesty of horses. As domesticated creatures, horses make great companions, although the main draw for owning a horse is to ride it. These steeds are often depicted running across an open plain, free as the wind.

As romantic as it is to let horses gallop around as much as they want, they'll need shelter from inclement weather. Owners will also need to keep a close watch on their equines, and installing a permanent residence for them is the best way to go. Hence, stables were made to house horses comfortably, with accommodations specific to the animal.

Unlike regular barn shelters for other animals, the stables are uniquely for horses only due to the box stalls that line the insides. Box stalls are designed to contain horses, and they're specifically narrow to prevent horses from rolling on the ground. Such a feature is useful to equine owners who participate in horse shows, as they wouldn't want their steeds to get hay stuck in their coats. For foaling mares, there's usually one large box stall that will allow just enough room for the horse to lie down and give birth. Chickens get the coop, and pigs have a pen, so it would make sense that horses need stables of their own.
