Newport Equestrian Academy Newport
Newport Equestrian Academy owner Suzanne Hourihan is a longtime member of the equestrian world . After training under the instruction of an Irish Olympic rider in her youth and becoming a successful rider , she went on to make a living off her passion as a horse trainer and equestrian instructor .
But once her daughter came along , Hourihan decided she wanted to raise her family by the water . And so , in 1986 , she transferred the two Connecticut farms she owned in favor of a beautiful farm on Third Beach in Middletown where she could teach locals how to ride and compete at regional and national competitions .
Since then , it ’ s remained a family affair . Her daughter took over the instruction part and Hourihan manages the academy , and soon her granddaughter will become a junior trainer .
“ She ’ s quite talented and also loves to teach ,” Hourihan says .
The academy offers a children ’ s summer camp where budding equestrians can enjoy riding once or twice a day while learning how to care for horses , as well as year-round riding lessons that cater to all ages and riding levels . Helmets , saddles , crops and more are available for those who do not have their own equipment .
Year-round horse boarding facilities are also available — the staff lives on the premises and tend to the horses 24 / 7 .
But coastal horse rides are the academy ’ s most popular offerings . The two-hour tours take riders by two beautiful beaches and out to the nearby Norman Bird Sanctuary .
“ Trail riding is an experience that would be very difficult not to remember because it ’ s so beautiful ,” Hourihan says . “ St . George ’ s Cathedral is up the hill ; it looks like you ’ re in Europe somewhere — there ’ s a gothic castle and miles of beach .” 287 Third Beach Rd ., Middletown , 837-4188 , newportequestrian . com 🆁
