Getting Started
Ready to ride with us? We'd love to welcome you to the barn!
Whether you're interested in lessons, hacks, fox hunting, hunter paces, or clinics, every new rider begins with a 1-hour Evaluation Lesson. This introductory lesson allows our instructors to assess your riding ability, introduce you to our horses and facilities, and ensure we match you with the right horse and program for a safe and enjoyable experience!
Please complete our riding ability form, our waiver, and schedule your evaluation lesson.

Hunter Paces are organized cross-country rides that simulate the experience of fox hunting without hounds. Teams of two to four riders follow a marked course through fields and woods, typically spanning 4–12 miles. Rather than racing, the goal is to complete the course in the optimum time set by the organizers, making hunter paces a fun way to enjoy riding in open country.
Please book hunter paces through the Manhattan Riding Club website.

We participate in fox hunts with the Millbrook Hunt, Goldens Bridge Hounds, and Belle Meade.

We have a 24-hour cancellation policy for lessons and a 72-hour cancellation policy for hunts, hunter paces, off-property hacks, horse shows, clinics, and other off-property events.
All payments are non-refundable. If you cancel more than 24 hours before a lesson or more than 72 hours before an off-property event, you will receive a credit to use toward a future booking. Credits are valid for 1 month from the original booking date. Cancellations made within 24 hours of a lesson or within 72 hours of an off-property event are not eligible for a refund or credit.
We understand that emergencies can happen. However, our instructors reserve time for your booking, and our horses are scheduled specifically for each rider. Providing adequate notice also gives us the opportunity to offer your spot to another rider.
If you have any questions or need to cancel a booking, please don't hesitate to contact us.
Thank you for your understanding and support!
