Where to go horse riding?
Tracy asks via Twitter:
Albany, I just want to ride the horses. ... I found one place online, not sure how updated the info is, for Renegade Farms. They offer instructions, but also have a "work to ride" program where you can volunteer time to learn about & help care for the horses in exchange for extra ride time. I like the idea behind that because it's a more immersive learning experience (plus it benefits the stable).
It sounds like Tracy is interested in more than, say, just riding horses one afternoon -- she maybe also wants to get some riding lessons and learn about caring for the animals, too.
So, got suggestion for her? Please share!

We'd really like you to take part in the conversation here at All Over Albany. But we do have a few rules here. Don't worry, they're easy. The first: be kind. The second: treat everyone else with the same respect you'd like to see in return. Cool? Great, post away. Comments are moderated so it might take a little while for your comment to show up.

I used to ride at 4Ms Farm in Castleton as a kid, and I loved it! I'm not really sure how they do adult lessons/riding (its been ~15 years since I've been there) but you could probably check it out. Looks like they are still going strong!

We go to Krumkill Stables on the Albany/Bethlehem line. Great horses, great trails, and a great owner!

Little Brook Farm does lessons and all kinds of wonderful things AND is a rescue. They have an active volunteer community and a lot going on. Absolutely check them out at thelittlebrookfarm.org
I also recommend Marsha Chavin at Chavin Equestrian in Nassau. She has wonderful lesson horses (and ponies) in a nice quiet location on Loweree Rd.. Great Lady! She doesn't have a website but her phone number is 766-3411
