You get the true horse owner experience including getting your horse brushing and tacking before riding. Laura has become a friend as well as great instructor. Horses are safe and well cared for. I come to the barn to leave the pressure of the week behind and enjoy my love now riding horses whether in the ring at barn or trail riding at local park I can't tell you how much I look forward to riding at Victory Farms trust me you will to.

My daughter and I have learned so much about horsemanship, the lifestyle and culture of barn life. The trainers are excellent and it is amazing how fast the staff and other riders have come to feel like family to us. If you are looking to really learn about horses, develop as a strong rider and grow, this is 100% the best place around.

I love riding at Knoll. They have wonderful teachers and lesson horses for all ages and levels…read more Knoll has three huge outdoor rings with great footing and jumps. Plus an indoor!

I started riding with Sally as an adult after taking a break for a few years after college. While I…read morehave since moved and am no longer able to ride on a weekly basis, I still find her lessons incredibly effective for the times that I am able to make it to the barn. She knows what makes each individual horse and rider tick, which enables her to bring out the best in both of them. I especially love her knowledge in dressage and emphasis on flat work. With Sally, I understand the "why" behind her instruction. I wish I found her years earlier!

I have ridden with a lot of different instructors over my 20+ years of riding, and Sally is without…read morea doubt one of the best. She has a sixth sense when it comes to what each horse and rider needs in the moment and tailors the lesson accordingly. Her extensive dressage background ensures that her students are equipped with a solid foundation in flatwork that translates beautifully over fences. In 5 months of consistent lessons, Sally completely boosted my confidence and got me back to jumping small courses after a long break. Sadly I'm not able to ride very often these days, but whenever I do get a chance to take a lesson with Sally, she is always able to meet me wherever I am that day and I walk away feeling accomplished. She has taught me not just how to ride, but how to truly connect with a horse in a way I never have before. Sally also has a lot of experience training horses, particularly thoroughbreds. I highly recommend her for all of your riding and training needs.

The ride was awesome!! The trail was lovely and offered a view of various trees as well as other horses. The instructor got off her pony to take pictures from various points of views and angles. She taught us about each horse's history and even some fun facts about horses! I could not have asked for a better experience, especially since it was so last minute!

I am surprised to be the first person on Yelp to write a review about Hidden Lake. I suppose it is…read moreproof that this gem of a riding school continues to be a best kept secret of the North Fork. Like many, I grew up riding and loved the sport as a child and young adult. After moving to Manhattan the opportunities to ride were few and far between. I was drawn to the North Fork for many reasons not the least of which was the farm/horse culture and after debating where to ride I turned to the locals for suggestions. Almost everyone suggested I call Jackie Bittner the owner and operator of Hidden Lake. It was the best call I could have made. Hidden Lake is absolutely wonderful in every possible way. The scenery is idyllic, the horses are superbly taken care of and Jackie's dedication to her craft is addictive. She is so passionate about her horses and her riders that riding with her feels almost like a gift. It has been almost 4.5 years that I've been riding at Hidden Lake and I sincerely can't imagine taking instruction from anyone else. As a note to all those in the Hamptons where I lived and rode horses, please consider making the brief trip to the North Fork instead. The price is right, the horses are fabulous, the instructor is wonderful, patient and kind and the down-to-earth environment of Hidden Lake will remind you of falling in love with riding as we did in childhood. I know this happened for me at Hidden Lake under the instruction of Jackie Bittner and for that I am so grateful.
