Horse kept in stable

A stable is a building in which livestock, usually horses, are kept. It most commonly means a building that is divided into separate stalls for individual animals.

Historically, the headquarters of a unit of cavalry rather than just their horses' accommodation, would be called a stable.

Used metaphorically from this origin, a stable is a collection of people (i.e. professional wrestlers) working under a single manager or animals kept by one owner.
