What we’re about

Is it your dream to ride a gallant horse through beautiful woods and meadows?

Ours too.

Come riding on spectacularly beautiful trails hidden away in the center of Nassau County, Long Island.

Your organizer’s barn, Big River Barn Rescue inc, is tucked away on a sprawling former Gold Coast estate now part of 500+ acres of preserved open land, with endless miles of gorgeous trails through woods and meadows. It’s the largest preserved open space in the county, but few people know about it.

We can ride for hours as if we are away upstate, far from civilization. Yet it’s close and easy to get to from anywhere in the NYC Metro area — typically only an hour from Manhattan by train or car. Hard to believe until you see it. All skill levels are welcome. We ride in English tack, in small groups only. Our horses are excellent: forgiving of beginners, but willing to show skilled riders a good time. If you have the skills and conditions permit, we'll walk-trot-canter. Instruction is offered, as needed/desired. We'll be in the saddle for around 1 1/4 hours, and the cost is $150 per person.
Come discover one of the best riding opportunities in the NY Metro Area.
PLEASE NOTE: I run a barn, 7 days a week.  If you want to come riding at any time, please SKIP the meetup website and TEXT ME DIRECTLY at 516-650-0016.   If you message me here, it will just delay my response.  All reservations to ride must be made by text (not by signing up here).

Keep in mind that opportunities to ride are every day, not just as announced here.
