Jamaica Bay Riding Academy

Muy organizado

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 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! 🙂

Just off the Mill Basin Bridge on the Belt while headed east. Took my daughter here for a 16th birthday surprise. They have me a horse that looked and walked like Eeyore. Not that I’m complaining because it’s kind of terrifying getting up on a horse. Whenever it seemed as though Eeyore might take off, he would find an interesting bit of grass to start dining on. Then we went in the water practically up to our knees, which I thought was yucky, but my daughter loved the entire experience. Which was the point. Anyway, that was over 25 years ago. And my daughter just took her daughter there for a ride. So good job.

I’ve been here twice both in November and although it’s not lush it’s a beautiful trail and experience that’s not too far from the city. $70 for 45 min, half of which is along a private beach which is beautiful and serene. I called ahead to confirm covid procedures which were in place and assuming since it’s November, got to have a ride with just my Husband and the tour guide.

It's a family owned business. Located between the belt parkway and the Atlantic Ocean 🌊 where the view is breathtaking. The owner Mr. Danza "owner", his wife Joyce "at the office" and his son Fino "tour Guide" were super nice and always smiling and helpful. It was a pleasure riding there and am thinking about starting riding classes. When you take a ride in the federal/National recreation area with acres of rugged coastline and pretty forest trails you end up at some point on the beach when you see the ocean there, you wouldn't even feel that you are in New York or Brooklyn anymore. The ride was for almost 45/50 minutes that went by like a 5 minutes. Two for $110 cash but if you pay by CC, it would cost $130 and you should tip your guide as well. Helmets are free and optional. From their website you can find out that they have lots of activities and tons of occasions. Talking to Fino "our guide" who was riding a very beautiful white Arabian horse, I found out that even in winter and while snowing they still offer rides which was really interesting to me. Definitely going back again and recommending everyone to try it. 👌👍

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.
