Bergen Equestrian Center, Leonia

Surrounded by the leafy trees and green lawns of Overpeck Park, the 22-acre Bergen Equestrian Center is designed to keep both humans and horses happy. Locker rooms and showers, a lounge area, and a full kitchen cater to the humans, while 100 custom-built stalls supply the horses with all the creature comforts they could ask for. Each stall is equipped with padded flooring and automatic water dispensers, and each receives a daily cleaning. Climate-controlled tack rooms and 21 grass turnout paddocks are just icing on the hay bale.

The facility is equally impressive when it comes to training. Two indoor and three outdoor riding arenas serve as the stage for horseback-riding lessons for students as young as 5. These lessons teach beginner through advanced skills, all while allowing students to move at their own pace. A Grand Prix field and medieval jousting ring, meanwhile, allow for higher-level training.
