Jamaica Bay Riding Academy

Oh man, if I could take this memory and store it in my pocket!! This was nothing short of an amazing experience! The service from
The moment you walk in is so easy going! Chriss, our tour guide was just delightful! She was very friendly & accommodating. She is also very knowledgeable about the establishment and it was great to hear about her level of experience! I was looking for something therapeutic to channel frustration and this was absolutely perfect! I cannot wait to go back. There is an emotional stability that horses provide when you allow your spirit to settle. And Jamaica Bay Riding Academy has some of the best horses in town! You won’t be disappointed!

My wife and I horseback riding. The staff was very nice. The scenic route was amazing. You even go on the sand.
Price in cash was $90 PP for 45 minutes. I felt that was reasonable.
The cons. I had to wait 30 minutes to ride. They should have a set schedule. They said we open at 10am come then. I came and they said we go out at 10:30.they should have a schedule online or when u call. The last thing I would have liked is if the leader would stop in trail to take pictures of us. They never stoped once and offerd pics.

I went there over the weekend for the first time with family. And We all loved it there. We had so much fun riding the horse. My son enjoyed the pony ride..The staff is really humble and accommodating. I recommend this place to everyone who wants to enjoy horse riding

My husband surprised me today with this experience and it was amazing!! I’ve ALWAYS loved horses but had never ridden a real horse on my own. (Other than guided pony rides when I was little lol).

Being that this was the first experience for all of us (my husband, my daughters ages 9 & 11 and myself), I honestly was not too nervous. Our guide, Brandon, was very nice and introduced us to the horses and assured us that they already knew what to do. There was also another guide that stayed in the back to watch and make sure that everything went well (I apologize I don’t recall her name but she was also very nice.)

The ride was about 45 minutes and was really beautiful. Like other reviewers have said, you start to forget that you’re in NY especially when you get by the water. My younger daughter was nervous at first but was loving it by the end. I’d say it’s well worth the price of $70 a rider (when paying cash) and don’t forget to tip your guide! Will definitely come back again! :)
