What dimensions should a horse stall have?
A stall for an average horse should measure at least 3x3 meters, and for large horses 3.5x3.5 meters or more.
Detailed explanation
The individual stall or stable must allow the horse to lie down, stand up, and turn around comfortably. For an average-sized horse, a stall of at least 3x3 meters is recommended; for large horses or mares with foals, 3.5x3.5 meters or more. The ceiling height must be sufficient for the horse to raise its head without risk, and the door wide enough to enter and exit without hitting itself. Good ventilation, natural light, non-slip flooring, and the ability to see other horses complete an adequate stall. Insufficient space compromises the animal's rest and well-being.
