1. Choose the place for a horse. In the summer it can be the fenced territory with a canopy under which the horse can hide during a rain. However with the onset of cold weather such place for stay of an animal will become absolutely unsuitable. Therefore build the stable where the horse will winter. Choose material for construction which will be kept by dryness and heat. The best materials for the stable are the tree and a brick, and here it is better not to use concrete and block raw materials since in the stable it will be cold and damp.

Between stalls has to be partitions 2.5 m high. For comfortable movement of a horse, the place allocated for her has to be not less than 9 m (3 on 3), it is desirable that it was more spacious. Track that all doors in the stable opened outside, and their height was not less than 2.4 m, and width - 1.2.
