Rickety place where peacekeepers keep their horses? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

unstable

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'rickety' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'where peacekeepers keep their horses?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'peacekeepers' could be 'un' (United Nations, peacekeeping organisation) and 'un' is found within the answer.
'horses?' could be 'stable' (I've seen this before) and 'stable' is found in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'place' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
