Some more feedback from the UK:
Open stables are (more or less) unknown there. Also for legal reasons
already mentioned. That seems to be the main reason why no proper
english term exists for this. What comes close to an open stable is
called grass livery, but the area is (much) larger, the surface is not
maintained, often no or just a limited number of shelters and there
are usually no feeding places/stations.

Would it be better to use a common tag for an "area where animals are
kept"? And then refine with subkeys?
Something like:
landuse=animal_keeping ¹
animal_keeping:for:<animal>=yes/no
animal_keeping:type=grass_livery/open_stable/....

¹ I have no clue what a good value would be. Any suggestions?

Martin
