This word is itself a possessed form, so its endings take a possessive's buffer n — ahırına, ahırında. It takes "my", "your" and "our" on its stem — ahırım, ahırımda — but not "his / her / their", which it already is, and no plural.
The endings are the same ones the pronouns wear — that page explains when each case is used.
