riding stable

Equestrian boarding place

A riding stable is a facility where horses are kept for riding, typically offering lessons, trail rides, or boarding services.

Unlike working stables that house draft or carriage horses, riding stables focus on recreational and instructional use: She took lessons at the local riding stable every Saturday.

The term may also refer to the business operation itself.
