There are high sand dunes and beyond them ocean beaches that are outstandingly beautiful. Equestrian access to these gorgeous shores are limited during the summer season. When searching for the ones available for horseback riding long island is the place to find them.
There are spectacular visuals for the riders to enjoy. The soft lapping of the waves bring scents of salt water to surround them as they walk over the sandy beaches. Gentle waves meet horses hooves as they trek along under the sun. All these things come together to impact the senses.
A delighted girl reaches forward to pat her horses neck with her free hand. A soft whinney seems to express the pleased response of her mount. Horse and rider both seem caught up in their surroundings and the joining with nature is confirmed.
The one hour trail rides are enjoyed by couples and families with children. Each livery stable has its own age and experience requirements. Everyone wears a helmet for safety reasons.
Nine miles of beautiful trails wind through Hempstead Lake State Park. Professional trail guides take riders over trails and beaches for an hour of pleasure. Often the riders will see an eagle soaring in the blue sky. Chipmunks and squirrels run free in the safety of the park sanctuary.
During the summer vacation from school, children can attend a week or two of horseback riding camp at one of the stables. The lessons include how to care for a horse. The child washes, brushes and feeds and waters the horses. He learns about the tack used for riding and sometimes can bridle or saddle the horse before taking a ride.
In small groups they learn about all the activities carried out in the barn. Feeding and demonstrations on hoof care and other grooming activities are given. Riding lessons begin in an enclosed ring outdoors in summer.
All the children seem to enjoy the riding and look forward to it with great anticipation. Boy scout troops as well as girl scout troops attend the week-long camps. Everyone loves these magnificent animals and think they are awesome.
There are five lakes in the area. Equestrian trails take you over rolling hills and alongside a manicured country-club golf course. It is especially lovely in the autumn when leaves are changing and the air is crisp.
There are many livery stables on Long Island that offer riding opportunities. For a birdwatcher, there are yellow-bellied sapsuckers and scarlet tanagers flying among the trees. Small animals scurry through the brush alongside the trails.
Riders of all ages take part in these trail rides. The horses are all well behaved and walk in a single file over the narrow trails. If a groups is composed of all experienced riders, they may be allowed to trot on the wider paths. Safe riding is always the first consideration.
This is a wonderful pastime for children as most are enamored with the horses they ride. They learn to love these animals and enjoy the beauty of nature all at the same time. It is a perfect vacation or weekend recreation enjoyed by children and entire families.
