Monastery Stables Horseback riding in Philadelphia, PA

This was the first place I ever went to riding at. They were experienced with helping newcomers in a way that made you not feel stupid. They were great even though we were a large group most first timers. I found out that they even would ride with a inexperienced child.

I do not generally write reviews but felt I needed to after reading some of the woefully inaccurate and mean-spirited comments posted. I board my horse at Monastery and am there almost every day. I have found the staff to be uniformly helpful, attentive, and welcoming and the manager knowledgable and supportive.

Monastery stables is such a beautiful place to visit! I love to hike and visit the park frequently, it’s such a hidden gem, and i LOVEE looking at the horses! The staff is so kind and knowledgeable, they’re always so happy to teach me about the horses (it truly brightens my day every time).

Monastery Stables is a site steeped in history and equestrian tradition. Built in 1747, it stands on the grounds where the Brethren Church in America first began. The stables are part of the historic stone house known as The Monastery, located on Wissahickon Creek at Kitchens Lane.
