The perfect manual for stable and riding facility construction - also for DIY enthusiasts. Create better living conditions for horses. For about five thousand years, humans have kept horses, often with little regard for their needs. Initially, workhorses were simply confined or housed in cramped spaces, later locked in tight stalls at night or tied to stands. In more recent times, riding horses were given small box stalls. It was only about thirty years ago that people began to consider the needs of horses regarding their housing, and the open stable concept was initially promoted for robust ponies. Today, we know that every horse, regardless of breed or use, requires space, companionship, light, and air for well-being and performance. This manual aims to help horse owners create an appropriate living environment for their animals.
