Stable in Farmstead World — building in the game, and what it is on a real farm.
A stable is a building for horses, divided into loose boxes or stalls with deep bedding, good ventilation and a hay loft above.
It is built around the horse’s routine: feed and water within reach, a dry place to lie down, and a door that opens onto a paddock.
