equids, especially
horses. Based on their use may be known as a barn or stables,
riding hall, and may include commercial operations described by terms such as a boarding stable, livery yard, or livery stable. Larger facilities may be called an equestrian center and co-located with complementary services such as a riding school,
farriers,
vets and
tack shops or equipment repair.
