German term or phrase: paddockboxen

These are individual stalls for horses which open onto a small (also individiual) outside area for the horse to go outside when it wants. Any horse types out there who know an equivalent English term?

Here's a tinyurl link to google images to see what they look like: http://tinyurl.com/38geak3

Original sentence: Zusätzlich stehen in diesem 3. Ausbildungszentrum freie Paddockboxen und Offenstallhaltung für Pferde zur Verfügung.

English translation:stall with run-out pen

Explanation:
I think you could call this a "stall with runout pen" or "run-out pen", if it is not the size of an entire paddock or a horse run.

Take look at the following site and the virtual tour pictures.

It should be "stalls with run-out pen", of course, since you inquired about the plural.

paddock boxes

Explanation:
It looks like to me this is a Germanicized English term. Paddock boxes generates quite a few hits.

Asker: Thanks Uta, and sorry I wasn't able to select your answer in person. The holiday season saw me stranded for some weeks with no internet (quite nice, actually), and I'm only today back at my accustomed desk.
