Experience the novelty of riding a horse in Brooklyn. We offer bi-weekly hacks in Prospect Park for Level 2 & 3 riders. This ride does require basic riding experience gained through lessons and the ability to control a horse.
The hack begins on the streets of Windsor Terrace, where we will loop around Machate (Parkside) Circle before riding between the magnificent Horse Tamer statues and entering a park steeped in equine history, click here.
