What you describe is not an open stable. See below > Our horse has an open stable (I think). The door is left open and he is > free to come and go.

I'm not sure when a Paddock > becomes a field! No. A paddock is (usually) simply an area for grazing. But this term is also sometimes used for a small, fenced open-air area without any grass. An open stable may or may not contain an area for grazing, but always contains feeding stations, watering places and shelters. Have a look at the attached photos. In [1] you see two feeding stations in the background. In [2] you see the area for grazing. This area is usually not accessible for horses; otherwise there won't be any grass within days. In [3] you see another feeding station in the background. In [4] you see a watering place. In the background of [4] you see paddock boxes, i.e. stables with an attached small, fenced open-air area. Hope this helps!
