[Tagging] Open stable / feeding station

[Dudley Ibbett]

Hi

In the UK we have field shelters for horses.  It can be very difficult to get planning permission for a fixed building in a field so people have these shelters that are movable.  This gets round the planning restriction.  Some people do move them around to protect their fields so they would probably need remapping on a regular basis.

Our horse has an open stable (I think).  The door is left open and he is free to come and go.  In this context I would probably map the area into which he can go according to the tag landuse=meadow  http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Vegetation

Could this be a paddock or pen: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paddock  Paddocks are generally small fenced off areas.  I'm not sure when a Paddock becomes a field!

Interestingly if you search on the OSM documentation on "paddock" it takes you to the Vegetation webpage.
