“I have kept my horse at Bethpage Equestrian Center for 19 years, and I truly can’t say enough good things about this place. I trust them completely, and they have always gone above and beyond to help me take excellent care of my horse, especially during times when he has fallen ill. The property is consistently well maintained and beautiful, and the trails are easily accessible and absolutely lovely. The employees, management, and owner are all incredibly friendly, approachable, and always quick to help whenever something is needed. Bethpage Equestrian Center has been a wonderful home for my horse for many years, and I’m very grateful for the care and dedication they provide.”

“I have been riding at Bethpage Equestrian Center since around 2019/2020, and I have so many positive things to share! All the boarders, trainers, trail guides and managers unite as family, creating friendships and memories to last a lifetime. It is such a positive and welcoming environment, there is no doubt you will feel right at home! The horses themselves have had this impact on me as well. Each and every horse here at Bethpage has a personality for you to explore, providing learning experiences for riders of all levels, beginner through advanced. Whether it be a pony ride, a lesson, or even a trail, Ive watched these horses share their love with all the new people they meet, creating bonds and providing smiles to all. I have been riding for more than half of my life, and have always been in love with horses, but my time here at Bethpage has only made me fall even more in love! If you're looking to immerse yourself in the spirit of these beautiful animals, Bethpage Equestrian Center is ABSOLUTELY your place! Join us for a trail ride through our beautiful property, book a pony ride for your little one, inquire about lessons, or even reach out if you're looking for a tidy and reliable place to keep a horse of your own.”
