Explore the
Adirondack coast's striking natural landscape on horseback! Visit the
Adirondack Equine Center at Ausable Chasm any time of year—for a horseback or
sleigh ride through the countryside.
In the Lake
Champlain Vermont Valley, riders of all ages can journey through the region's
gorgeous woodland forest. Riders are taken out by a knowledgeable trail guide
who leads the way, provides assistance, and answers questions. Prior to every
ride, riders have an orientation lesson to cover safety and basic horsemanship.
During the
winter, the Equine center is open every day, offering scenic Adirondack sleigh
rides at the Lake Placid Club Golf Course. With an exceptional backdrop
featuring the Adirondack High Peaks and the Lake Placid Ski Jumps, you'll enjoy
a lantern lit ride in a deluxe and comfortable sleigh—with a covered top for
bad weather!
If you would
rather watch horses than ride, head to the Adirondack Polo Club in Westport for
an exciting polo match. You'll see experienced players bump and jostle each
other, racing at top speeds up and down the field, striking the ball from atop
beautiful thoroughbred horses. Polo is one of the fastest, roughest, and most
dangerous sports played today—and is a premier spectator sport.
