horse stable

Where horses sleep

A horse stable is a building where horses are housed and cared for, typically containing individual stalls, feeding areas, and storage for equipment.

The term emphasizes the structure itself rather than the business operation: The old horse stable had been converted into a wedding venue.

Often shortened to simply stable.
