Piscataway Riding Stables

I’ve been coming here for 15 years.
We go on Sunday’s with the family for a one hour trail ride. Everytime we get here we are greeted with such happy and kind people.
The trail guides are really cool, they tell you about every animal you see, about every horse and guide you so well on how to properly control your horse.
This is a great place for families, for first timers (even kids, they have little ponies).
I recommend this place with all my heart, I love this place.

Absolutely adore this place! My husband surprised me with bringing me here as one of my birthday gifts. The staff are SUPER friendly and down to earth. My husband explained that it was my birthday today and the owner (Jon) took my husband and I out on the hour (maybe a little longer) trail; he was awesome to have guide us. His sweet demeanor and knowledge made the trail ride informative and fun. Jon stopped while we were on the trail to give the horses a slight break while he captured photos of us. It was really nice because it was just Jon, my husband, myself, and another horse trainer on our ride.
This place is definitely worth the visit. I may try to get back before the weather changes as I really enjoyed this farm. Their horses are beautiful and friendly. They will walk right up to you for you to rub them. You also get to see other farm animals as you approach the stables (i.e. Chickens and hogs). It was just refreshing to be on such a family driven farm land that wasn’t nickle and diming everything. $ 40 per person for a hour ride is a AWESOME deal in this area and I’m definitely going to return.

It was an awesome experience. Staff was friendly. I last rode a horse when I was a lot younger and this wasn’t as hard as I thought. If I lived closer would probably go every few days.

Very friendly and down to earth people. Mom and I booked a trail ride last year for my birthday. It was a nice 1hr. experience. Fun for 1^st timers!

Nick and the horses are awesome! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone– even with no experience riding horses. For $ 40 you can ride a horse that Nick pairs you with based on your experience. The trail is one hour long in the beautiful 250 acres of country side at the stables.

Came here a few years back while visiting Virginia. This place is amazing and everyone is so friendly. My friend’s daughter was 3 or 4 and was able to ride in her daddy’s lap. They were riding on, who his daughter kept referring to as, Strawberry Hope. Couldn’t get such a fun experience like that here in the west coast. Definitely plan on going back with my own kids sometime in the future.

I would actually give this a 4.5…we had such a great time. For the price, you can’t beat this… we had a great time. The horses were beautiful and the 1 hour trail ride was awesome. We will definitely be back.

Who knew that an affordable trail ride was so close to the Beltway? I’m a grown woman with a leftover love affair of all things equine from my childhood. With money and time and a slightly less urban existence, I’d make sure to regularly keep horses in my life. But that’s just not how life goes. I’m thrilled to know now, though, that for $ 35 and a short car ride away, I can spend an hour atop a horse and feel like a true escape from the city. There is a nice loop in the 250 acres that puts you in both wooded forest and pasture land. Ok, so it’s not the perfect set-​up for me: trail rides are guided and pretty much at a walk the whole time, not really indulging my need to let it all out and have some fun with the horse. But the horses were healthy, very well-​mannered, and happy to be out and about, and the tack was sturdy enough (Western style). I am trying to slowly grow a love of horses in my husband, and this was his second time riding a horse. I asked Nick (the owner and our guide) if we could, perhaps, have at least a little lope for the hubby to experience it, and Nick obliged. The money was well spent when I looked back to see a smile on the hubby’s face that matched my own.
The stable and area feels very rural. It’s not a sparkly clean brand new high-​tech facility. It’s a place with a lot of history and a way for local people to affordably board their horses. So, you know, don’t come expecting the equine Ritz or anything. It feels much more like «home» to local folk and not out to attract city dwellers. Nick was very nice and talked with us on the ride, shared a lot about local history (he’s born and raised in the area), asked us questions about our lives with genuine interest. I made the reservation by calling in the morning and arriving in the afternoon — it was that easy. All in all, it is an incredibly pleasant way to spend an hour of your time outdoors, and I hope to get back there again soon!

This was a wonderful experience. I absolutely love horses and always wanted to ride so this place was right on time. They let you walk around and pet a few horses and tell you a little about how they raise them. They even let you sit on and take pictures if your not comfortable to actually ride, but after the warm up I was ready to ride lol so we paid $ 30 for an hour which was alot of fun but whew seemed like that hour took forever after about 30 minutes I got a little tired of the bumpity-​bump. They take you on a long wooded trail and teach you how to ride along the way. When I got off my legs were extremely sore but it was very worth it. It would be nice if they had shorter sessions like $ 15 for 30minutes. But not complaining.

If you want to learn to ride a horse, this is a nice place to go. Just minutes from Washington DC you can come down on a Saturday morning and go for a one hour trail ride for $ 25.
The owners are really nice. They ask you about your experience and pair you up with the right horse. You learn as you go. The trail guides lead you at a slow pace through a trail of mixed scenery. At one point they’ll take you through a gallop. It gets the blood pumping and is tons of fun.
Make sure you wear pants. At the end of the ride you’ll feel like «City slickers».
