A
livery yard or
livery stable (
Great Britain,
Ireland), or
boarding stable (
Australia,
North America) is a
stable where horse owners pay a weekly or monthly fee to keep their horses. A livery or boarding yard is not usually a
riding school and the horses are not normally for hire (unless on working livery - see below). Facilities at a livery yard normally include a loose box or
stable and access for the horse to graze on grass.
