Stables are buildings designed to house and care for horses. They typically include individual stalls for each horse, where they can rest and be protected from the elements. Stables often have areas for feeding, grooming, and storing equipment like saddles and bridles. In addition to housing horses, stables may also provide space for riding lessons and training. Many stables are part of larger facilities, such as equestrian centers or farms, where various activities related to horse care and riding take place. Proper ventilation and cleanliness are essential for maintaining a healthy environment for the horses.
