Hollow Brook Riding Academy
We ride past the remains of abandoned 18th century farms, old walls and mysterious stone chambers. Nature is in abundance - deer, wild turkey, turkey vultures and red-tailed hawks are regularly seen Hour trail rides/lessons are available and longer rides can be arranged. If you board your own horse at Hollow Brook, the possibilities for great riding are almost endless. We can offer trail riding only to experienced riders over the age of 12. You must pass a 10-minute test/lesson in the ring in order to qualify for a trail ride. Once we know that you can control your horse in a variety of situations, we will be happy to guide you into the less structured environment of our natural trail system. We thank you for your appreciation of this necessary safety requirement. Moose Hill Trail - 1 hour round trip. This is our most used trail. We go through the forest to an old mining road which climbs the side of the ridge. At the top it flattens out to graded trails that go through abandoned 18th century farmsteads. The trail climbs again, coming out on Moose Hill which has great views of the surrounding mountains. Chamber Trail - A short detour to a stone chamber of mysterious origin which faces the summer solstice. The origin of these structures is unclear; speculation about who built them includes Vikings, Celts, Phoenicians, colonial settlers, Indians and witches. The more questions asked about these structures, the fewer answers there are. A true Hudson Valley mystery. Lake Trail (2+ hours) - Past the stone chamber, keep taking rights until you get to the power lines. Then continue to the edge of a lake which is next to a small community. The trail is good and then becomes a dirt road. Balanced Rock Trail (2+ hours) - Past the stone chamber take the left fork onto a graded trail that continues for a long way. We have never gotten to the end of this trail, so where it ends is still a mystery -- but it is a great trail. Appalachian Trail (Horse Trail Extension) - Begins down Peekskill Hollow Road and eventually leads to the Appalachian Trail. A good long ride. There are countless other trails for riding in the area and in the park, including trails up the ridge right in back of the barn.
