    my experience there was beautiful, although I don't agree with the organization. the owners of…read morethese horses , that are not necessarily rescued from abandonment or neglect situations, but use the money from trails to support monthly expenses. So they basically get away with letting the public pay to ride their horses. that's like saying how I can't afford to keep a horse so let me label it an organization/rescue that way public funds my hobby.

    I'm an experienced rider, have been riding and leasing horses since I was a kid, have worked in…read morebarns, have been a certified therapeutic riding instructor, and would not recommend this place because they don't conform to basic safety and horsemanship practices. I won't list all of them - just some highlights. My friend, who is not experienced, wanted to do this trail ride for our birthdays and we thought it would be fun. I've been on trail rides all over the world and know what to expect, and have never pulled out of a ride because I didn't feel safe until this place. I was the first person to be mounted and when the horse came out, I could see that the saddle was improperly placed too far back. I didn't say anything because it's not my place, but when I mounted, the girth was clearly too loose as the saddle started to slip. I told them that the girth was too loose and also that the saddle seemed to far back so Janet said let's reset the saddle and asked me how I would do it! She didn't seem to know the proper placement or how tight to make the girth because apparently this happened before. She then told me to walk down the lawn and let the horse graze while I waited for the rest of the group. It's not a safe practice to let horses graze while mounted, especially with beginners, but apparently that's what they do regularly. When the group was ready to leave, Janet started off on her horse and just about 30 yards from the barn, before even getting to the trail, the horse tripped and fell all the way down to the ground!! Janet fell off of course, and the horse walked off. If I had any doubt that all the red flags I'd clocked were right, this confirmed it. She was shaken up but ok, but didn't go on the ride, I don't know what was up with the horse but if a horse falls down just walking across a lawn, that raises questions about soundness and safety that are serious.

    *Really nice school horses, well behaved yet responsive;…read more*Beautiful stable in beautiful surrounding; *Very clean barn; *Nice indoor and outdoor arenas; *Full dressage ring; *Impeccable Classic teaching style (to include de Nemethy method from the very beginning); *Excellent instructor (or may be I just got lucky); *Friendly, prompt and very efficient staff; And, *Possibly the most accommodating stable owner in the whole NY State. Even if you live in the city this riding school is worth trying. 45 minutes from Penn Station to Cold Spring Harbor and a short taxi ride is the only thing that separate us from this amazing place.

    I would not recommend this stable based on our experience…read more My daughter signed a boarding agreement, paid all of her boarding fees in full, and provided more than the required 30 days' notice that she intended to move her horse. Despite this, she was never provided with a copy of the signed contract. Instead of honoring the notice period, the stable gave her only 24 hours to remove her horse. They also kept her $500 security deposit and retained the unused boarding fees for more than half of the month. This was extremely unprofessional, unfair, and unacceptable. A boarding facility should communicate clearly, provide copies of signed agreements, and treat clients with honesty and respect. Keeping a client's deposit and prepaid fees under these circumstances, while refusing to address legitimate concerns directly, reflects very poor business practices. I hope the stable will improve its professionalism and transparency so that other horse owners do not have a similar experience.

    I started riding with Sally as an adult after taking a break for a few years after college. While I…read morehave since moved and am no longer able to ride on a weekly basis, I still find her lessons incredibly effective for the times that I am able to make it to the barn. She knows what makes each individual horse and rider tick, which enables her to bring out the best in both of them. I especially love her knowledge in dressage and emphasis on flat work. With Sally, I understand the "why" behind her instruction. I wish I found her years earlier!

    I have ridden with a lot of different instructors over my 20+ years of riding, and Sally is without…read morea doubt one of the best. She has a sixth sense when it comes to what each horse and rider needs in the moment and tailors the lesson accordingly. Her extensive dressage background ensures that her students are equipped with a solid foundation in flatwork that translates beautifully over fences. In 5 months of consistent lessons, Sally completely boosted my confidence and got me back to jumping small courses after a long break. Sadly I'm not able to ride very often these days, but whenever I do get a chance to take a lesson with Sally, she is always able to meet me wherever I am that day and I walk away feeling accomplished. She has taught me not just how to ride, but how to truly connect with a horse in a way I never have before. Sally also has a lot of experience training horses, particularly thoroughbreds. I highly recommend her for all of your riding and training needs.
