Newport Equestrian Academy

Middletown, Rhode Island

Description

Newport Equestrian Academy, located at 287 3rd Beach Rd in Middletown, RI, offers guided horseback riding experiences along scenic coastal routes near Newport's beaches. The facility provides two-hour trail rides that typically include road portions through picturesque neighborhoods and time on the beach during off-season months (outside of May-September when beach access is restricted). Riders of all experience levels are matched with well-trained horses, and tours are led by knowledgeable guides who provide historical commentary about the area. The stable also offers riding lessons, boarding services, and summer camp programs for those looking for more regular equestrian experiences.
