Abstract
Horse boarding Facilities are an important requirement for many horse owners. IV Because horses can not be kept within the city, and because not everyone can live on a farm, their horses must be kept in a safe place that offers a good environment. A boarding facility offers this space and environment.
The objective of this paper is to determine that horse boarding facilities are a major form of urban-fringe land use. It was found that they are located on the rural-urban fringe, and the spatial characteristics strongly suggest that they create a distinctive binary region.
Horse boarding facilities leave a distinctive imprint on the cultural landscape due to the use of the surrounding land and the different types of buildings that are located around them.
