Horseback riding often conjures romantic images of leisurely rides against stunning sunsets and exploring meandering trails that lead through lush state parks. We have no shortage of places to go horseback riding in Rhode Island and throughout New England. However, if you’re new to riding horses, you’ll likely want to learn to ride first – making this horse farm in Rhode Island a must-visit destination.
A horse farm in North Smithfield, Phoenix Rising Equestrian Center sits on more than 70 lush acres and offers a range of services – from horseback riding lessons to pony parties.
Phoenix Rising features a variety of horseback riding lessons, on its 12 horses and ponies, for visitors of all ages and all skill levels.
If you learn best one-on-one, opt for one of the private riding lessons. Semi-private lessons are also available. Little ones can sign up for Tiny Tot lessons.
No matter how jam-packed of a schedule you have, you’ll find a lesson that fits your needs. Both day and evening options are available.
Summer’s a busy time on the horse farm, which offers weekly summer camps. Each features a different theme, such as “summer days are here again.”
Camp introduces young riders to horses, horseback riding, and a variety of other related topics, including breeds and care of horses.
If you’re on the hunt for a unique birthday party destination for your kiddo, you won’t find one that’s more fun than a Pony Party. Birthday parties include the chance to brush the horses, an hour to ride, and an hour for an old-fashioned party.
Phoenix Rising Equestrian Center also offers boarding and frequently hosts events and clinics.
