The image that I've had as far as stables go is this:
The horses normally stay in a couple of paddocks (I don't know how many - 2 or 3? But every time they're referred to it's been plural...). There's probably some kind of equipment shed or lean to or something or other to keep saddles etc dry and out of the elements. I also described a couple of "stalls" (maybe two of them) for short-term holding of horses that Leof knows in advance will be needed that day - nothing at all fancy. These may be adjoined in some way to the equipment "shed."
And I do confess that I am hoping for Leof to do well in the race...
