About
Select a sandwich, salad or wrap from our menu, bring your own snack and drinks (non-alcoholic) and one of our wranglers will guide you and your group by horse back out to our rustic picnic spot in our beautiful field. We will take the horses back to the barn and deliver your food while you enjoy time in nature connecting and relaxing with each other. After your picnic we will bring the horses and you will mount up and ride back to the barn. Great for couples, groups of friends and families. We have hosted a variety of marriage proposals, anniversary, and birthday celebrations. Available from noon – 4pm.
Here at Juckas Stables we have 117 acres winding through the breathtaking Hudson Valley countryside. Our horses are gentle, responsive, and well trained. Our experienced wranglers will begin the trail ride with a quick lesson to ensure a fun and safe trail ride. You are sure to see lots of wildlife on this ride. At your request your wrangler can take your picture during the picnic.
