The tag landuse=animal_keeping can be used to map an area that is used to keep animals, particularly horses and livestock.
Tagging
Draw the area where the animals are kept and apply the tag landuse=animal_keeping to it.
Besides the main tag landuse=animal_keeping the following sub-tags can be used for further refinement:
- animal_keeping=*<animal>, where <animal> means the name of the animal (english singular form). If more than one species is kept, provide a semi-colon-separated list, e.g. animal_keeping=sheep;cow .
- animal_keeping:type=*=open_stable/paddock/...
Examples
| Tags | Description | Photo |
|---|---|---|
 landuse=animal_keeping animal_keeping=horse animal_keeping:type=open_stable |
An open stable for horses. Note for native speakers: In the UK the term open stable is rather unknown, because for some legal reasons those are non-existing there. Somehow similar is a field shelter - also sometimes called free barn. Contrary to an open stable the facilities within the area (like e.g. feeding stations, watering places, ...) have to be moveable. Consider using landuse=farmyard instead |
|
landuse=animal_keeping animal_keeping=horse animal_keeping:type=paddock |
A paddock for horses. Also valid for the open-air area of a paddock box. Consider using landuse=farmyard instead. For the closed area of a paddock box see building=stable. Note: For pasture use landuse=meadow and preferable meadow=pasture. |
