It Is A Wonderful Experience To Go Horseback Riding Long Island

By Cornelia White


Going horseback riding long island takes you along beautiful trails. They wind past fields and forested areas. Fresh air and sunshine contribute to the enjoyable trail experience.

Amateur and old hand alike enjoy lessons. Whether you ride Western or English, it is always good to build on your present horsemanship skills. The Western saddle is large compared to the English. The bridles differ also. English uses two sets of reins and Western only one.

The English rider holds two reins in each hand to guide his horse. The western rider holds both reins in the left hand. A horse is always mounted from the left side.

A stable equipped with an indoor arena can offer lessons year around. Summer day camps are available where a child can learn to groom, bridle, saddle and ride the same horse every day for one or two weeks. Lessons are given and everyone goes on exciting trail rides.

Adults and children are required to wear a helmet. The first ride is taken in a fenced ring for summer campers. The gentle equine friend makes sure the child will have a safe experience. No one rides fast without permission.

Couples can rent horses for a romantic ride along the beach. It is exhilarating to canter along next to the waves, enjoying the scent of salt water. Enjoy nature and the setting sun and rising moon.

After the sun sets equestrian activity can be continued in a well-lit indoor arena. A well-equipped one will have openings to allow the air to circulate and a sand floor for stable footing for the horses. Dust is kept to a minimum using a mix of sand and fiber.

A riding academy may have a seating area to allow families to watch as children are schooled in horsemanship skills. Some maintain bleachers near the outdoor ring as well. People can chat as they watch the riding and perhaps have a drink on a hot day.

Refreshments may be available for sale on the grounds. There may be a tack shop where clothing, tack and grooming supplies are sold to those who own their horses. All these amenities enrich the riding experience and the time spent before and after lessons.

Some group trail rides take you through Bethpage State Park. A prominent US Golf Tournament is held in these breathtaking surroundings located in the 1,476 acre park. You may see hawks flying overhead and butterflies fluttering along next to the trail as you enjoy your equine companion and the friends who ride with you.

The trail rides can become regular recreation for families or couples. The abundance of trails ensure there is something new to see each time. The hour of time spent on the back of a horse can be extended to two if you schedule it.

There are elite breeds, the Lippizaner for one example, that perform dressage in the Olympics and horse show competitions. It is like watching an equine ballet and thrills audiences around the world. There are many facets to the wonderful world inhabited by horses. Horseback riding long island brings you into that world.
