Master Of The Horse (Sweden)
Master of the Horse ( sv, Överhovstallmästare) was a court clerk, who held one of the foremost rankings of the Royal Court of Sweden (next to the ''Överstekammarherren'' and just before the ''Överhovjägmästaren''). He had the highest oversight of the Royal Stables, but this was governed by the First Crown Equerry, and he was for a time head of the state stud farm service in Sweden, thereby succeeding the former ''Riksstallmästaren'' in some of his duties. Two such offices were occupied by the Royal Court in 1729, and appear to have been re-instated in 1763. During the period 1774–1792, the corresponding court official also worked at the Queen's Court and 1774–1782 and 1792–1795 at the Queen dowager's Court. "Överhovstallmästare" also appeared as a title with no corresponding office. The office was abolished at the end of 1969.

Stud Farm
A stud farm or stud in animal husbandry is an establishment for selective breeding of livestock. The word "stud" comes from the Old English ''stod'' meaning "herd of horses, place where horses are kept for breeding". Historically, documentation of the breedings that occur on a stud farm leads to the development of a stud book. Male animals made available for breeding to outside female animals are said to be "standing at stud", or at "stud service", referencing the relatively high probability that they are kept at a stud farm. The word stud is often restricted to larger domesticated (especially farm) animals, such as cattle and horses.
