Stable

Stables are buildings designed to shelter livestock, especially horses. Military stables are elaborate facilities, providing training grounds, barracks for soldiers, farriers and blacksmiths, a track for running and even a building for indoor training. A more common form consists of a rough building with a dirt floor, three-sided stalls for resting and grooming horses; communal feeding troughs; pens for pigs, sheep or goats; corrals for cattle; and places upon which to hang tack and other tools and gear. What's supplied depends upon what other facilities are present.

Carter Posts

Stables attached to carter posts exist only to temporarily house transport animals — horses, mules and oxen — used to transport rural goods to urban centres. The whole consists of an outdoor paddock, a tether for two oxen and a stable with two stalls for sick horses. Sufficient forage and seed is provided for the animals, as is a husbandfolk able to handle, attend to their needs and maintain the animals' physiology.

The stable itself is only protected on three sides, but is sufficient to protect the stalled animals from rain and snow.
