What riders say about New Paltz stables

Ridge Runner Ranch

Fantastic horseback riding experience, I highly recommend! Horses are well trained and accustomed to beginners. (Very helpful for me since I am not very familiar with riding horses.) Staff is patient, very good customer service. The trail you’ll go on is really adventurous, through the forest and hills on the property.

Horse First Riding Stables and Animal Haven

We went to Lucky C Stables for our 3 boys to receive riding lessons. My boys had Stephanie for their instructor. I must say she was amazing. It was clear to see she loves her job and has a real passion for what she is doing. The horses all looked very well cared for and happy.
