As horses are very rare in many parts of our country, it is important for us to learn about the parts of horses. This enables us to understand more about horses.
A stable or stalls is a farm building or a
building on a farm.
A livery stable is a stable
where horses and vehicles are kept for hire.
a stall is a compartment
in a stable where a single animal is confined and fed.

The Best Hay Is Clean
Hay
Without a doubt the
best hay for horses is clean hay. Hay that is moldy or dusty should not be fed
to horses, even when the amount of mold or dust appears to be minor. Any hay
(alfalfa, timothy, clover, fescue) that contains dust or mold can inflame the
respiratory tract and impair breathing ability. Many horses develop permanent
lung damage after consuming moldy or dusty hay. This chronic lung damage,
commonly referred to as heaves, affects the horses ability to breathe normally
during exercise. In severe cases heaves impairs the horses ability to breathe
normally at rest. Once a horse has been sensitized to hay dust, mold, or
pollen, it may react even when clean hay is fed. Mold can have other
detrimental effects on the horse aswell, such as causing digestive upsets.

A carriage is a wheeled vehicle for
people, usually horse-drawn; litters (palanquins)
and sedan chairs are excluded, since
they are wheelless vehicles. The carriage
is especially designed for private
passenger use and for comfort or elegance, though
some are also used to transport goods.
It may be light, smart and fast or heavy,
large and comfortable. Carriages
normally have suspension using leaf springs,
elliptical springs (in the 19th century)
or leather strapping. A public passenger vehicle
would not usually be called a carriage – terms
for such include stagecoach,
charabanc and omnibus. Working vehicles
such as the (four-wheeled) wagon
and (two-wheeled) cart share important
parts of the history of the carriage, as
does the fast (two-wheeled) chariot.
Do not bother about the language, I would like you to have a clear picture of the stable or horse barn.
