My sisters and I went to Newport for a mini summer vacation. We thought going horseback riding would add something unique to our usual Newport activities. Well, the academy is actually a horse barn in someone's back yard. And even though they advertise a trail along the beach the trail is actually on city roads and goes to the parking lot of a beach where the tour guide then points out the beach to you. Our tour guide was not knowledgeable of the area and clearly did not like her job. Yet she tried to pressure us into a 20% tip. SAVE YOUR MONEY. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE.
Pros: riding the horses
Cons: no beach trail ride during summer
