City Island Stables, Inc.

Horseback riding lessons return to the waterfront. City Island Stables, Inc. offers instruction along Shore Road, where the Bronx meets Long Island Sound. The school provides a rare urban setting for equestrian training, with sessions available for beginners and experienced riders alike. Programs include private lessons, group clinics, and trail rides that take advantage of the island’s quiet roads and coastal views. Women own and operate the stable, bringing a distinct perspective to the traditional riding school model.

Located at 9 Shore Rd, Bronx, NY 10464, the stable sits at the northern tip of City Island, where the neighborhood’s maritime character blends with open space.
