What we do

Full-service care, instruction, and competition

Everything a horse and rider need in one place — from a first walk-trot lesson to a full show season, and the recovery time in between.

Boarding

Matted stalls with enclosed fans, twice-daily cleaning, individual feed programs, and daily turnout on a property zoned for a full equestrian operation.

Riding Lessons

Private instruction for children and adults, from complete beginners through experienced competitors. Lesson horses and ponies available, plus horsemanship lessons for riders who want to learn the ground work too.

Training

Professional flatwork and jumping programs for horses at every stage — starting young horses, tuning up campaigners, and solving the problems in between.

Lay-Up Care

Attentive rehabilitation and recovery care with daily monitoring, controlled turnout in quiet paddocks, and close coordination with your veterinarian.

Horse Showing

Full show services on the Long Island and regional circuit: preparation, braiding, shipping, day-of coaching, and management at the ring.

Sales & Leases

A rotating selection of horses and ponies for sale or lease, matched honestly to a rider's ability and goals rather than to a budget.

Lessons

Now accepting new students

Riders start where they are. A first-timer works on position, balance, and steering at the walk, while a more experienced rider works on whatever the goal actually is — flatwork and position, or full courses and show preparation.

  • Private lessons by appointment, six days a week
  • Safe, experienced school horses and ponies
  • Horsemanship lessons for riders who want to learn grooming, tacking, and day-to-day horse care

The facility

A working barn in historic Fort Salonga

Two acres on Bread and Cheese Hollow Road, minutes from Northport village and close to every major roadway — an easy trip from Nassau, Suffolk, Manhattan, Queens, and Brooklyn.

The property has been farmland since 1760. We have run the barn here since 2015.

  • Nineteen stalls with rubber mats and enclosed motorized fans
  • Professionally designed 175′ × 155′ arena with lighting, graded stone footing, irrigation, and a full jump course
  • Viewing deck and mounting platform at the arena
  • Nine paddocks, four with run-in sheds for quarantine or overnight turnout
  • Two wash stalls with hot and cold water
  • Feed room and tack closet, plus a climate-controlled office, bathroom, and laundry
  • Gated east and west entrances with easy access for hay deliveries, trailers, veterinarians, and farriers
