I need to ask two questions though about the stalls as I've never been in one and the pictures I've googled don't quite give the definitive answer i want or need. Most of the time, I see horses on tv being led to their stalls on the inside of the stables down the aisle. But isn't their a door leading directly to the outside at the back of the stall as well?

It's a four stall stable with a center aisle, and a Tack room, whatever that is, (I have an idea though,) and a Wash room.
(Seconded Miss B's excited squeal)
I've been in stables both where there is only the internal stall doors and others that have a external door that goes into a small yard for the horse to exercise in.
At the stables I worked at with Race horses, they didn't have back doors as the stables were back to back, so the door leading into the stall was from the outside rather than into a big room containing stalls (if you can picture what I'm trying to say
)
(a tack room is exactly that, it contains all the riding equipment, saddles, bridles, headstalls etc and sometimes the feed if that's not a separate room)

Thank you Rae. Swinging or sliding doors?
Ours were swinging doors. The bottom part was solid wood and the top half had 2 doors, one with bars so the horses could see out during the day and a solid one to close up at night.
But I have seen both. I think the stables that had internal stalls have sliding so open doors don't take up aisle room.

Another look at the stables for the Hivewire Horsie.

Oooh, a track!
Seriously though, I've told you guys I get easily distracted. Anyway, Here's more of the barn exterior.

My last post in this thread on this topic. I don't mean to change the subject, but I'm seeing texturing issues I need to address. This is why I hate texturing and suck at it.

Okay, another horse question. I've been working on the stables now for the last few days and believe or not, after making a few adjustments, and such, I'm moving along pretty good. I do want to try and finish this this week though so I can get back to the house. Anyway, I've finished the stables, included a tack room and wash stall plus 4 horse stalls, and a center aisle.
Some of the props I've included and intend to include, are:
1 water bucket.
1 muck bucket
1 muck cart
1 water hose
1 shovel
1 push broom
1 wheelbarrow
1 stall bedding fork
Anything I forget?

@eclark1894 Just a few suggestions , there's usually a good pair of hoof clippers and hoof tools, horseshoes, curry comb, buckets or sacks of feed, rubber boots, square bale hay, and some young to younger horses like to play with their Jolly Ball which is infused with scents like peppermint, apple, and even bubble gum.

Horses chew gum? I can see the hay bale and the feed sacks. Anything else might have to wait for an add on pack.
@eclark1894 They don't chew gum they are just infatuated with the smell of bubble gum. There are also some aroma therapies (they like lavender too) for horses accompanied by massage to get uptight or stressed horses to relax.

Thank you, Rae. That's a LOT bigger than the closet I have for a tack room, but I can build some saddle stands and sawhorses and maybe add some hooks on the walls.
That's OK Earl, I've never been in a Tack room that big either but they all do have some kind of hooks for bridles and halters and places for saddles
I like the idea of the rounded hooks in the 2nd pic for the bridles as I think our tack will sit on them better (since they were designed to be put on a horse and not a peg)
