Can’t speak to history, but as of now: the Fletcher Street Urban Riding Club has stables at 26th/Fletcher, and there are at least two stables in Fairmount Park (MLK just north of Montgomery and up at Chamounix) and a couple in or near the Wiss (including the one at Wissahickon and Cathedral). There was one in the works for Bartram’s Garden as of a few years ago, too — dunno if that one is up and running.

There also used to be an urban stable at an empty lot at 40th/Westminster in West Philly, but that land has since been developed.

There's also Solly Stables by Pennypack Park, Northwestern Stables in the Wissahickon right on Germantown Pike basically, and I feel like Ashford Farm deserves a shout out even though they're technically in Conshohocken if only because they're literally super easy to walk to from a regional rail station.

There’s stables near the corner of Cecil B Moore and Hancock, which I think are for the horses uses by the company that does the horse and carriage thing for tourists.
