For his big horse

A man can use it as stable for his big horse.

Is the use of the phrase 'for his big horse' superfluous in the sentence? Or is it fine as it is?

Thanks.

sundarnaz A man can use it as a stable for his big horse. It would probably be superfluous unless there were a reason to specify the size of the horse. Perhaps the manger and water trough are so high up that a small horse couldn't reach them?
