For the longer horse pen, a door is also set on the leeward and sunny side of the longitudinal wall to facilitate the access of people and horses. The door should be made into a double push door without a sill.

5. Playground: a playground shall be set up in the house where stallions and calves are raised. The playground is mostly located in the spare area between the two houses, surrounded by fences, and the horses are tied or scattered in it.
