1. Choose the dry place for the stable that ground waters were low. It is possible to make the house for horses log, adobe, brick, etc. The main thing your task is to build the spacious, warm and dry room. In cold areas it is possible to warm walls laying from waterproof materials.

Also add cut straw or peat to lubricant. Usually ceilings to stables high: 2.8 - 2.6 meters depending on dimensions of horses.
