According to Feng Shui, which direction should the horse be kept in the courtyard?

It is usually placed in the southwest corner.

The reason is that the Chinese people pay attention to sitting in the north and facing south. The north courtyard is located upwind and above water, so it is impossible to place the stable on the north side. Therefore, the north is generally the upper house, and the south is the lower house.

Advantages Taking the southwest corner as an example, livestock sheds are generally dirty, but the morning sun can shine into the shed well for exposure and disinfection. The abundant sunlight also makes cleaning easier. When the sun turns to the west, it starts to be shaded and absorbs heat. Before dusk, the west sun can increase the temperature in the shed in disguise.

Disadvantages: The southwest location is generally prone to wind and can be regarded as a blind spot. Therefore, most Feng Shui books will list it as a bad place, rarely used as a place for people to live in or use it as a bedroom.

Quote from Chapter 39 of "Dream of Red Mansions": "The maid replied that water ran out of the stable in the south courtyard. It's irrelevant. She has been rescued."
