An owner's stable is an establishment designed to accommodate the owner's horses on a boarding or half-board basis. The basic service therefore includes housing and feeding the horses.
In addition, the owner's stable manager will offer a range of other services: working the horse, developing it, lessons, competition outings, care, blanket management, etc.
In the case of a boarding arrangement, the owner pays the full cost of his horse.
In a half-board arrangement, the owner makes his horse available to other people for a few days a week in exchange for payment of part of the costs involved in maintaining the horse.
Half-board offers a number of advantages for the owner: reduced costs, less time to devote to the horse, etc.

It should be noted that boarding animals is not the only activity available.
As well as housing horses and ponies (boxes, stalls, barns, grassland shelters, etc.), a wide range of specialised equipment is required to run an owner's stable: riding arenas, round pen, walkers, large meadows, paddocks, surveillance cameras, etc.

There must be facilities for riders: showers, grooming area, tack room, club house, etc.
A sports stable will also include facilities for training horses for various equestrian competitions.
