Horse Back Ride Prospect Park
Thanks to @KensingtonStables for sharing some of their shots.
Ever wonder where those horses you see trotting around Prospect Park live? Right in your Brooklyn neighborhood at Kensington Stables. Built in the 1930’s Kensington Stables is the only remaining stable in the Prospect Park area. They offer riding lessons and trail rides along Prospect Parks bridle path (a 3.5 mile ride through varied terrain that passes the lake, arches and Midwood). This ride is open to ages 11 & up and to any skill level. (you can reach out to them for children under 11 for a price) If you get the chance stop by the stables and support this local gem.
