The tag building=stable
can be used to tag a building constructed as a stable for horses.
How to map
If a building as a whole represents a stable, first map the building as usual and tag it with building=stable
or alternatively as building=*
with a different value and the tag building:use=stable
. The latter variant is recommended in case the building was not originally built as a stable but is now used as one.
If only part of a building is used as a stable, first map the building but use the tag building=yes
(or whatever value is most appropriate), then map the area of the stable within the building as a polygon and add building:use=stable
to it.
Examples

Disambiguation
The tag building=stable
only identifies a building as a stable for horses. It does not relate to any facility by itself.
- If you want to map a riding stable, a facility where people go in their spare time and practice horse riding, see instead
leisure=horse_riding
. - If the building was built to keep other animals than horses, please consider using other tags, i.e.
building=sty
for pigs,building=cowshed
for cows orbuilding=livestock
for other livestock.
