A livery stable is a facility that provides boarding and care for horses. It typically offers services such as feeding, grooming, and exercise for horses owned by individuals who may not have their own stables. Livery stables often cater to riders and horse enthusiasts, providing a place for them to keep their animals when they cannot do so at home. In addition to boarding, many livery stables also offer rental services for horses, allowing people to ride without owning a horse themselves. These establishments may also provide equipment rentals, such as saddles and bridles, and sometimes offer riding lessons for beginners.
