This is where I ride and keep my horse. Westchester has lots of barns to choose from, but Shady…read moreLane Farm is the only one I know of that's both a family-friendly barn for beginners who want to learn on a school horse AND a place that takes serious, competitive young riders to A-rated shows. They give riders excellent training in technique and horsemanship and take excellent care of the horses.

From the owner: Since 1962, Shady Lane Farm has taught riders to have solid foundations in riding and horsemanship…read more We believe that the best riders truly understand their horses and that good horsemanship is the basis for good riding. Manager and head trainer Alex Dunaif was a top junior rider, national champion and accomplished show jumper. In 2011 Alex became one of the first professionals to be selected into the Trainer Certification Program by the United States Hunter Jumper Association. In both our Bedford and Yorktown barns, we offer full and basic board. Our facilities have well-ventilated 12 x 12 stalls, a variety of paddocks, a fire safety system and staff living on premises.

My daughter had been taking lessons and attending summer camp at this farm for years under the old…read moremanagement. We loved this farm. The new management is atrocious. We started lessons again in May and we're not impressed with the rude interactions we had with the new owners but decided to give it a try. The farm attracts large groups of people who do not wear masks or maintain social distancing. Even when the staff was alerted to the fact that they were not following social distancing guidelines this practice continues. On our last visit on Friday there were easily fifty adults and children wandering around none of whom were wearing masks or social distancing. The management doesn't care. When confronted with this, the owner Zev, said it wasn't his job to enforce masks on his property. In addition, we have witnessed groups of children mistreating the animals. On our last visit a child was holding two baby chicks and running around pretending they were airplanes. Animal abuse to which no one said a word! Absolutely disgusting! The owners have just flat out lied on several occasions claiming to have signs requiring masks when in reality there are no signs requiring masks for entry, only a recommendation for social distancing which is not enforced or followed. I have reported this business to both the Rockland Department of Health and the NYS Department of Health. It needs to be shut down. They have shown a flagrant disregard for the health of their staff and visitors.

This stable is the best thing that's happened to my daughter. We have been a part of other stables…read morebefore Sky Blue and none come close to comparing to the level of compassion and care they have for not only the horses, but everyone involved in their care. We started going to their amazing summer camp and my daughter never wanted to leave. They throw a great party in their dedicated party room and always have supplemental activities for the kids to do like art projects, barn side tea parties, fun fashion show competitions... on the horses! The relationships my daughter has made here and the lessons she's learned have been invaluable. I can not recommend Sky Blue enough, especially if you've been to other stables and felt like they weren't for you, Sky Blue is inclusive and accommodating.

They have beautiful trails that connect to their property that go on for hundreds of acres…read more Furthermore, the staff are true horse people. I don't board there, but when my mare got scared to load back on the trailer after tripping on the ramp, they took a lot of time out of their day to help. They did NOT have to do that. I appreciate their help and will be sending gift cards
