Wild horses sleep outdoors. Domestic horses frequently sleep outside in the summer. During the winter most domestic horses sleep in stables. Those in or near cities frequently sleep in stables year around.

No, not exactly like cattle. A lot of dairy cattle is kept in a type of straight stall with limited movement, some may have limited pasture time. Other cattle may be kept pastured until it's time to milk them and beef cattle tends to be raised either on constant pasture or in feed lots. Horses on the other hand must have room to move at all times. Straight stalls are very bad for their health, it is best to provide them with a minimum 12 foot by 12 foot box stall (larger is better) and at least a minimum of 8 hours of turnout time a day. Turnout can be done in a large grass pasture, a riding arena with a high fence or in a dry lot that is big enough for the horse to gallop around in.

No, but its a nice place for them to get out of the elements and to store your saddle and feed. We had seven in a big pasture and they just stood in the shade of a tree.

Where are farm animals kept in winter?

Most animals, like pigs, farm fowl, rabbits, are kept in a barn in the winter. However, animals like goats, sheep, horses and cattle are able to live outside during winter time. In harsher climates that experience winters that are either or both very cold and stormy, these animals must have access to some form of shelter, be it a shed or, more ideally, a barn, to get out of the elements. Of course the use of these shelters should be under the animals; decisions of whether to go there or not.

How many horses can you fit into an empty barn that is 100 feet high and 50 feet wide and 70 feet long if a horse is 6.5 feet high 4 feet long and 2 feet wide?

Given that this is a riddle, there are many answers possible depending on the way you think about it: * One horse: after the first horse is put in the barn, it isn't empty. Mathematically, we can work out how many horses would fit if we can arrange whatever way we like: * 6730.77 horses: The volume of the barn divided by the volume of a horse gives the number of horse volumes that could fit in the barn volume. * 437.5 horses: If horses cannot be stacked, this is the area of the barn floor divided by the area a horse takes up giving the number of horses that fit if only one level of horses goes in the barn. In reality, we cannot fit parts of a horse or put them in any shape we want like a liquid: * 6555 horses: 437 horses per level and we can fit 15 levels of horses in the barn. * 437 horses: this is the number of horses that fit if we cannot stack horses and we cannot fit parts of horses around them.
