loose-box

Unrestrained equine enclosure

A loose-box is a stall or enclosure in a stable where a horse can move about freely, rather than being tied in place.

The term is primarily British: Each horse had its own loose-box with fresh bedding.

American English typically uses box stall for the same concept.
