Italian term or phrase: in box
Not sure how to translate 'in box':

I cavalli ricoverati in box devono disporre di uno spazio tale che consenta loro di muoversi, girarsi e sdraiarsi.

I don't think it is stable as 'le scuderie' is mentioned later in the sentence... unless it is just another word for stable?

Thank you

in the (horse) stall
Explanation:
I suppose it refers to horse stalls

Have a look at the pictures

A card furnished by the commission designating a horse as being treated by furosemide (lasix) must be affixed to the horse's stall by the veterinarian administering the furosemide (lasix) medication. The trainer or the trainer's designee shall turn over the card to the horse identifier upon arriving at the paddock.

After providing the client with these answers, we agreed to use 'stall' as this covers a range of possibilities and isn't as specific as loose-box (there was not much in the way of description of this 'box'). Thank you all very much for your help.

loose boxes

Explanation:


http://www.longcrossstables.co.uk/ourb_other.html

A LOOSE BOX is a STABLE with outside opening half doors, where the horse and pony is free to move around and lie down when he wishes. It should be provided with a water supply, electricity, draught proof ventilation for when the top half of the door is closed and fittings for tying the animal up for grooming and for hanging a hay net. The walls should be strong and smooth with nothing on which the animal can hurt or rub himself and the floor should be made of slip proof concrete. Bedding may be of straw (preferably barley straw), wood shavings or shredded paper. The latter is useful for an animal which suffers from respiratory problems but is not easy to manage. Used straw can be built into a manure heap to rot down and later spread back on the land as fertiliser. Wood shavings and paper have to be burned. As equines are usually terrified of fire this should NOT be done in the vicinity of the stable or grazing area. Stabled animals which are clipped out MUST be rugged with a suitable warm quilted stable rug in winter and a lightweight fly sheet in the summer.

. The bungalow which already provides spacious two bedroom living accommodation offers considerable scope to increase its size (Subject to Consent) and is offered for sale with paddock to its south with two loose boxes both having power supply. The property also enjoys a triple garage, static mobile home and a timber workshop.
