Hi, and a very warm welcome !
It's such a pleasure to welcome an English rider .
You will find all sorts of livery yards in France, with different options as regards stabling. It's just a matter of price. Most riding clubs and stables offer individual or collective paddocks with sheds where horses are fed on hay.
As an alternative, there is also a new kind of livery yards that tends to develop . They are called " écuries actives" ( basically " active stables") where horses are kept in large collective paddocks with free access to sheds, hay and different other areas according to their needs.
The quality and prices differ widely from one region to the other, so take your time to choose and do not hesitate to ask for more information . There are thousands of membres on this forum !
