Horseback riding for all ages and riding levels


At Fox Hill Farms, adults and children can take horseback riding lessons in a safe, friendly, family-oriented atmosphere. We offer private, semi-private and group lessons. All riding is with English saddles.

If you don't own a horse at Fox Hill, we have horses and ponies available for full or half lease, as well as many well-trained school horses and ponies.

For your first ride at Fox Hill, you'll take a half-hour private lesson, so we can see your riding level.

If you're just starting, you'll continue with half-hour private lessons until you're comfortable at the walk, trot and canter.

If you're already comfortable at the walk, trot and canter, you can join one of the many group lessons at different levels. Or you can choose private or semi-private lessons, if available. Depending on your goals and abilities, you can take flat lessons only, or progress to jumping.


Lesson schedules

We have lessons during the day as well as after school, evenings and weekends, so we can almost always arrange times to meet your schedule. All lessons are by advance appointment with the barn secretary.



RENTING HORSES FOR 
TRAIL RIDES

Fox Hill is adjacent to the beautiful Rockefeller Estate and Rockefeller State Park Preserve, with 22+ miles of bridle paths and 100+ miles of trails.

For riders who don't own or lease a horse, Fox Hill has several "solid citizens" who can be rented for trail rides. You must master basic skills at the walk, trot and canter and receive instructor approval to take Fox Hill horses on the trails.

If you're new to Fox Hill, you must take and pass a half-hour evaluation lesson and receive instructor approval before scheduling a trail ride. You'll need to demonstrate competency at the walk, trot and canter with and without stirrups in order to be approved. The evaluation lesson is the same cost as a half-hour private lesson.

Rentals for trail rides are charged by the hour.

Guided trail rides

If you prefer to explore the trails with other horseback riders, you can join one of our guided trail rides during the spring, summer and fall. Group rides take place about once a month during the three seasons. You must have passed the trail evaluation and received instructor approval in order to join a guided trail ride.

Rentals for guided trail rides are charged by the hour.
