Stabling

Stabling in the 17th century could make you rich or poor depending on how many boarders you had. Some stables changed over time and some stayed the same. Kings back then had stables right at their castle so that if there was a invasion the could get out quickly. Lots of the castles had secret passeges leading from their castles into their stable. Lots of poor familys who only had one horse kept them at home instead of stabling well the rich kept them at a stable and visited once or twice a week.
Copenhagen Stable
The Copenhagen Stable had a zigzag shape and was very complex. This stable was important because it was built for the king and could house all his horses and carriages. In 1690 this stable held 52 horses and very few staff. At the end of the 17th Century this stable held 170 horses and 152 staff. As new kings entered the thrown the stable was reconstructed. As a certain King entered the thrown he had reconstructed it so that it would have a rectangular riding ring so he could ride his horses and not be hurt. There was not a lot of information out there but this what I could find on stabling in the 17th Century because people did not have the money to start up stables
