Design Handbook for Stables and Equestrian Buildings

In this practical new handbook, architect Keith Warth offers advice on basic stable construction, DIY stables, and the use of old buildings as well as large scale equestrian establishments. He discusses the purpose of the stable: to provide conditions that maintain or improve the physical and mental well-being of the horse. A detailed explanation is given on how to ensure that, through good stable design, fresh air can be available to the animal at all times. There are also examples of how the buildings can take aspects of hygiene into account, including alternative solutions for drainage and other services. Essential reading for professional horsemen, keen amateurs, equine students, or anyone contemplating building, refurbishing, or converting stables.
