Lynne's Riding Center NYC
📍 Queens, NY
Queens-based riding center specializing in beginner lessons for all ages, with children accepted from age 4. Offers pony rides, horsemanship certification classes, birthday parties with barn tours and grooming sessions, and horse boarding.
Lynn's riding center is the best. I highly recommend bringing your kids here to learn , and to take the horsemanship class so you can earn your certificate. Volunteering is a must, as you can learn a lot too. The horses are well taken care of and groomed multiple times a day. They have trail rides for the horses to get some sun and the extra care. And there's even goats. The kids can have birthday parties which is the cutest thing ever because they're all so excited to be on a horse and it's just gives that extra magic. I'm really glad a place of this exists in New York!
🏆 Family Action Verdict
An excellent choice for families wanting to introduce children to horseback riding in a genuinely supportive environment. Children from age 4 are welcomed, complete beginners are well looked after, and the staff go out of their way to make every visitor comfortable.

“by far the best stables to learn to ride outside of nyc, kind and professional staff who are extremely knowledgeable about their animals who are clearly very taken care of. please go to Lynne’s if you want to learn to ride from the best horse people in NYC. my experience was amazing and being around these animals is very therapeutic. glad to have met cowboy Eddie and will be frequently coming for adult riding lessons here this summer. great location to easy to commute if you are coming from brooklyn or manhattan.”

“Did a photoshoot here for a client and felt so welcomed by the staff. By Lynne, amber and eddie! We were able to ride #3 around the barn for the photoshoot and the photos turned out even better than expected. Everyone here treats you like family. This is such a hidden gem in Queens. Will definitely be back in the future!”

“Did a spur of the moment day of reservation for my birthday with my husband and 4 year old. They more than accomodate all of us. It was an amazing experience and unbelievable you can find something like this in queens. We are all beginners and we felt so comfortable and welcome. We will be back again!”
