Are 14x10 stables ok?

[Irishbabygirl]

I'm in negotiations re moving my two boys to amazing farm livery, which is perfect in every way, but the stables are 14x10 and I have a 16.2 WB and a 15.2 Irish cob x TB.
Both currently have 12x12 stables which they are fine in, and I know its the same footage...reasure me please!

I recently had Foxy (16.1/2ish TB) in a 12x10 for a few weeks, she was fine

They will be fine I had a 17.1 in a 10 x 10 for a short while although the wall only came upto his chest so he would stand with his head over his friends stable (small pony) or over the gang way. I then moved to house with land and built 2 stables 12 x 12 he loved them too

I have the same size stables for a 16.3 TB and 15.3 Anglo Arab - they are more than happy!

I think 12x12 is too small for 16.2 and actually 14x10 will be better. 15.2 no probs either way

Thanks for replying all, it was more my big WB I'm worried about. They'll only be in overnight in winter only, with turnout daily whatever the weather.
Massive pro for moving - acres of amazing grazing with even better natural shelter...tbh they could probably live out!

I have my 16.2hh in a 14x10 stable and she is fine. I cringe when she throws herself down to roll, but she never has a problem.....

Big Fuzzy is 15.2 & now has to put up with a 12 x 10 this winter, as Giant Fuzzy has got her 12 x 12. She fits fine & can lie down happily - she's a solid sort.

Tiny Fuzzy is also in a 12 x 10 & gets up a good speed in there on odd occasions

I think its just because I've always had large boxes, then downsized to 12x12 on a small, private DIY yard - which they were more than happy in...just feels like I am down sizing again, but footage wise I'm not really...its so worth it for the farm with its space, grass, natural shelter, hacking, only up the road, pros as long as my arm...why is moving yards such a hard decision?!
