Horseback riding: -Fitted on horse and ride out around 6pm -Rider weight must be less than 225 lbs. -It's better to ride out long before dusk -Horses are sturdy and range all different ages. -The ride duration is 1.5 hours. -The trails are wooded and elevated steeply in certain areas. Hayride: -Tractor drawn carriage with no sides. -Sit crisscross applesauce facing inward to avoid being hit in the face by branches. Western BBQ: -Served hot dogs, hamburgers, chips, soda and water, and s'mores. I was expecting more in the line of meat but it's worth the experience for the price. DJ/Music: -The DJ played a variety of country tunes in the beginning. Once everyone was fed, the music shifted to line dance tunes. The instructor taught us how to do the cotton eye joe, Cupid shuffle, chicken dance, and a couple other well known dances.

What I got: 1 Hour Guided Trail Ride (~$60-80/person…read moredepending on booking method) Aya's take: Wow! What an experience! First of all, it has been years since I've seen a horse up close. I totally forgot how majestic and beautiful these animals are. Upon entering, we were greeted by Ania who turned out to be our instructor/guide for our trail ride. Upon checking in, we grabbed horseback riding helmets and Ania walked us through some basic instructions and what to expect on the trail ride. It was great to learn how to push the horse to move, stop, or speed up. My horse was Eleanor, a grey Mustang Mare. She was super friendly and easy to ride with. The trail ride includes scenic bridle paths in Loantaka Park and we even picked up the pace and trotted a couple of times which was amazing to experience. Definitely one of my favorite activities I've done in 2025. I can't recommend Seaton Hackney Stables enough!

Tips: I recommend for casual one time lessons (I hear they do a lot of groupon deals) but NOT for…read morelong term / recurring lessons. Do NOT buy a rider card. Consider more for recreation than a way to learn. We've been riding with Seaton since 2024 and have unfortunately had a mostly unpleasant experience. The place itself is beautiful and convenient, and hence the 2 stars. The teachers are a mixed bag. Most are high schoolers who probably get credits for teaching. Some of them are good as teachers and with kids and others are average. Classes are quite disorganized. When we'd ride, we would arrive on time and wait around for the teacher to get the horse cutting classes by anywhere from 15 - 20mins. We also had situations where we were assigned large horses for very young kids in spite of requesting smaller horses / ponies in the notes. Lastly, their systems are quite poor. We bought each of our girls a rider card but there is no portal or communication around usage, billing, expiry etc. The previous management (Wendy) made up for the lack of organization at Seaton through passion and customer service. However, the new management seems more commercially minded and more inexperienced in terms of dealing with customers, miscommunication, accommodating loyal customers, etc.

Jamie and Sarah love the horses so much and always put their health and well-being first. They're smart, compassionate and caring with their students.

The weather was in the high 70's ... not too bad for us humans but the staff at LSP made sure their horses were sprayed down and wore a protective cover over their ears, eyes and head which I'm assuming is to keep them from getting burnt by the hot sun. This level of care of their horses is exactly the type of institution that I love to support. You can tell they love and understand their horses. The entire staff was engaging and a gentleman named Rodney was superb. He made our experience an amusing one with his knowledge of the horses and their personalities. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone! P.S. Got the pleasure of seeing what they called the "biggest horse" at the stable. His name is Norbit and he reminded me of one of the horses you in see in Budweiser commercial. Definitely a sight to see!
