What to do and see in New York, United States: The Best Horseback Riding Tours

May 20, 2022 Enriqueta Cusson

New York State has it all – booming metropolises, majestic waterfalls, mountains, wine country, chicken wings. Yes, NYC is a magnet for tourists, but an exploration of the rest of the state can be equally thrilling. The Finger Lakes Wine Region is a vision of serene waters, quaint B&Bs, and pretty vineyards. Movie buffs will love Rochester, home of the George Eastman House and one of the world’s most comprehensive film archives. On your way to Niagara Falls, stop in Buffalo to fuel up on spicy wings.

Katherine gave us a wonderful ride through the forest and over a stream. She was very knowledgeable about the horses and very clear in her instructions as my husband and I don’t ride often enough! We meandered through the forest and at two spots we got to trot. If you are a more experienced rider you won’t be disappointed as the ride is tailored to your experience. Thank you Katherine and thanks for the photos!

Went to D&K ranch for my step-dads birthday and we all had a great time! The staff is all very friendly and knowledgeable. The horses are all very nice and well taken care of. They were very helpful and great with the two little kids we had with us as well. Very welcoming, comfortable and we will definitely be going back for another adventure. ????

Westchester Trail Rides

Reviewed By Immandy - Boston, United States

Westchester Trail Rides (and Cowboy Bob) makes for a fabulous horseback riding experience in the woodland hills of northern Westchester County, NY. Bob is wonderful to work with and very helpful and committed to his clients' experience. I arranged a riding experience for my son and daughter-in-law and Cowboy Bob couldn't have been better to work with. His "ranch" in Croton-on-Hudson is a beautiful spot and my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed exploring the grounds, corrals, and barn, and walking the nearby trails, while Cowboy Bob guided the rest of the family on horseback. It was a beautiful day made more so by the wonderful demeanor and service of Cowboy Bob.
