OFF TOPIC ALERT ON
My last horse loved being in the stable and initially hated being in the field. He could not be left alone as he'd just jump out and go back to his stable ( 1.45 wire fence, from trot)
Clearly having a loose stallion about near road, railwayline and mares is not ideal so I spent literally weeks hand-grazing him, first on a leadrope, then on the lunge. Then spent a fortune putting another strand of electric wire around his field to 1.60. He only jumped out once after that and decided being in the field was not that bad after all

I have a horse who hates being in a stall - he'd rather live outside in a field in any weather ..... except busy folk will complain to Animal Cruelty Prevention officers - who rarely have much equine experience, especially with feral horses ... so in a stall he goes in "bad" weather
A friend's horse loves his stall, he endures outside & displays great distress if left out too long
