Horse Riding on Cape Cod

by Eva
(Tübingen, Germany)


Question: Dear Dee, Where is good place to go horse riding - where they take good care of their horses and the riders - on Cape Cod, preferably Western Riding?

Many regards,

Eva

Dee's Reply: Hello, Eva - Horseback riding is a wonderful way to enjoy our beautiful Cape Cod scenery!

I know of several stables that offer guided trail rides: Esperanza Riding Company and Ridge Valley Stables.

Both farms receive very good reviews from their customers, and I believe both use western saddles on their trail horses.

------------------------------

UPDATE: April 2019

Esperanza Riding Company is no longer offering horseback trail riding here on the Cape.

-------------------------------

Ridge Valley Stables isn't a Cape Cod-based farm. Instead, they'll bring their horses to the Cape and meet you at Sandy Neck in Sandwich.

Ridge Valley offers full-day rides on the trails and along the beach at Sandy Neck - a beautiful beach on Cape Cod Bay. Cost of the rides varies from $300 per person for a group ride (2-person minimum) to $600 for a solo guided ride.

I hope this information is helpful for you! Enjoy your ride!!

Best Regards,

Dee

Dear Dee,

Thank you so much for your reply! My daughter Amelie was so happy when we just had a look at the websites. She also started horseback riding when she was 5 years old (and is now 13 years old ).
We will probably be staying in a Flat near Truro, do you think that this will be too far to go horse riding in Sandwich? I also found accommodation in Sandwich but since I want to go to Cape Cod for whalewhatching I thought it would be better to stay a bit closer to Provincetown ;-)

Many regards from Germany,
Happy Easter,

Eva

You're welcome, Eva!

Is Truro too far away to go riding in Sandwich? That's a difficult question to answer because everyone's definition of "too far" is different. ;-)

In the off-season with light traffic conditions, it's approximately a one-hour drive from Truro to Sandwich. During the summer months, the drive time could be 90 minutes or more.

Did you know there's also a whale watching cruise that leaves from Barnstable Harbor?

Sandwich and Barnstable are adjacent towns. So if you decided to stay in Sandwich, you'd be near the horseback riding and a whalewatching cruise.

Happy Easter to you, too!

Best Regards,

Dee
