Situated beside the verdant riding trails of Loantaka Brook Reservation, Seaton Hackney Stables facilitates equestrian excursions with a lineup of endearing horses and miles of scenic paths.

In groups of two or four, riding buddies revel in the surrounding scenery and pose for snapshots, and solo riders are free to regale their steeds with favorite lines from The Horse Whisperer.
