There are more literal means of adding an equine spirit to a space, especially if one's home actually housed horses in the past. Judith Nadler Ellerman and John Ellerman created their spacious residence in an Illinois building that served as a storage stable more than 100 years ago:

"Gardens are linked by winding paths made with bricks salvaged from one of the fort's old horse stable floors."
Home of Judith Nadler Ellerman and her husband John Ellerman.
The "brick residence was built in 1892 as a storage stable at Fort Sheridan, a United States military installation north of Chicago."

Another family, also in Illinois, turned a barn into a kitchen and guesthouse. "The owners wanted to keep the integrity of the barn, right down to the horse stalls and feeder bins," but the goal was a "sophisticated" space, not "a cute, kitschy barn look." Here is the kitchen designer Mick De Guilio created:

Here is the kitchen designer Mick De Guilio created:
"Designer Mick De Giulio repurposed the three horse stalls in this old Illinois barn by giving each a function: one for storage, with a tall, free-standing pantry; one for cooking, with a Wolf wall oven; and one for cleanup, with a dishwasher, a sink, and cupboards for the dishes. 'We just worked with what was there and had fun with it,' he says. Antique Holophane pendants restored by Remains Lighting."

If a homeowner owns Thoroughbreds or is a competitive rider, trophies and ribbons add color and shine:
"Next to the living room, the bar and game room was refreshed with whitewashed walls. A new banquette runs the width of the sweeping lunette window on one wall. Silver commemorations testify that trophies have come like clockwork to family equestrian champions over many years."

Said David Netto of the house he designed with Gil Schafer: "I haven't met the room yet that doesn't do better with an African stool or headrest. If you don't want to dress up an English room, put something Russian in it. That desk changes everything for me, just closes the deal. The horse sculpture was the first thing we bought for Boxwood. You have to start somewhere - funny."

"The ceiling, often ignored in design, provides more dazzle to the elegant room. Silver-leaf squares, applied in a block pattern, were glazed to give the surface an aged appearance. Window panels of luscious silk taffeta in a silvery celadon enhance the complexity of the room's pastel-and-metallic palette. A stately horse-head sculpture rendered in 1920s Aptware reigns from atop a high pedestal in front of one of the windows."

"Francesco Clemente's dramatic watercolors dominate the dining room, and John Robshaw's silver Indian chairs encircling the antique French lacquer table increase the theatrical quotient. Seat cushions are in Vaison linen by Nicole Fabre, trimmed in a Jim Thompson silk. Andrew Lord's sculpted bronze floor lamp is topped with a handmade paper shade. The iron-base lamp is a 17th-century candlestick with a shade in Robert Kime's India Pear."
