Horse riding stables provide facilities and services for people who want to learn to ride, improve their skills or spend time with horses. They commonly offer lessons for beginners and more experienced riders, delivered individually or in groups by instructors. Lessons may cover horse handling, grooming, mounting, riding techniques and stable safety, as well as work in the arena or outdoor riding. Some stables provide suitable horses or ponies for lessons and organise supervised rides on local bridleways. Depending on the premises, services may also include pony rides, holiday activities, riding clubs, training for competitions and livery, where owners pay for their horses to be kept and cared for at the stable. Livery arrangements vary and can range from providing a field or stable to including feeding, mucking out and exercise. Stables typically maintain yards, arenas, tack and grazing, and manage the daily welfare of their horses.
