A yard or enclosure where cavalry horses are kept, exercised, or prepared for military service.
Compound of 'cava' or 'cavalry' (from Latin 'caballus', horse) and 'yard' (Old English 'geard', enclosed space).
Before motorized vehicles, a 'cavayard' was as important to military operations as a motor pool is today—hundreds of horses needed daily grooming, feeding, and training.
