Livery stables are facilities where horses are boarded, cared for and rented out to individuals who do not own their own horses.
These establishments offer a range of services for horse owners and riders.
In a livery stable, owners can pay a fee to keep their horses on the premises and the stable provides amenities such as stalls, feed, water and regular care for the horses.
Livery stables often cater to various types of riders, such as recreational riders, equestrians who do not have their own land or facilities and those who may be visiting an area temporarily and want to ride a horse.
Some livery stables also offer riding lessons, training services and access to riding arenas or trails.
Historically, livery stables were more common in urban areas where individuals might not have the space or resources to keep a horse on their own property.
