The invention relates to an improved stall divider suitable for free stall stables comprising a vertical support member (1), a lower member (2) extending away from the support member, an upper member (4) extending away from the support member, and a crossing member (6) extending perpendicularly to the upper member. The crossing member (6) is made of a bendable or deflectable material and has a hollow or solid structure. The lower member (2), the upper member (4), and the crossing member (6) comprise a soft or elastic outer layer. The construction of the stall divider increases the comfort and the welfare of the animals.
