paddocked

Kept in enclosure

Paddocked means confined to or placed in a paddock—a small enclosed field or area for horses or other livestock.

The word appears most often in horse racing and equestrian contexts: The mare was paddocked after her morning workout.

In Australian and New Zealand English, where paddock refers more broadly to any fenced field, paddocked describes land that has been enclosed for grazing.
