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.
