| Abstract from DBPedia | A stable is a building in which livestock, especially horses, are kept. It most commonly means a building that is divided into separate stalls for individual animals and livestock. There are many different types of stables in use today; the American-style barn, for instance, is a large barn with a door at each end and individual stalls inside or free-standing stables with top and bottom-opening doors. The term "stable" is also used to describe a group of animals kept by one owner, regardless of housing or location. The exterior design of a stable can vary widely, based on climate, building materials, historical period and cultural styles of architecture. A wide range of building materials can be used, including masonry (bricks or stone), wood and steel. Stables also range widely in size, from a small building housing one or two animals to facilities at agricultural shows or race tracks that can house hundreds of animals.厩舎（きゅうしゃ）は、元は家畜を飼う小屋のことであるが、転じて、競馬においては、調教師が管理する施設・組織の総称として用いられる言葉である。競走馬と調教師の管理関係を表す際に多く用いられ、例えば「競走馬Aの管理調教師はB」という表現の代わりに「競走馬AはB厩舎所属」という表現が用いられる。 「厩」が常用漢字に含まれていないため、「きゅう舎」と表記されることがある。 (Source: http://dbpedia.org/resource/Stable) |
