Cattle grid on country road. Cattle grids are usually installed on roads where they cross a fenceline, often at a boundary between public and private lands.

A box stall (US) or loose box (UK) or horse box (UK) is a larger stall where a horse is not tied and is free to move about, turn around, and lay down. [3] Sizes for box stalls vary depending on the size of the horse and a few other factors. Typical dimensions for a single horse are 10 by 12 feet (3.0 by 3.7 m) to 14 by 14 feet (4.3 by 4.3 m).
