“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!”

“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!”
