Horseback Riding in New Providence

The Stable is situated on 2.3 acres of prime property about 3 minutes from the beach by car or 15 minutes on horseback. The various trails lead mostly to the beaches of Coral Harbour and Adelaide, a nearby village, and alongside a natural lake, Corrie Sound. The stable itself has a full exercise arena with lighting, originally built by the New Providence Development Company. The arena is equipped with a full set of show jumps and the property also includes two turn-out corrals. 19 island-style stalls, each 12’ x 12’ or larger, equipped with automatic water and electricity provide stabling facilities along with a main feed room and hay storage area. Four tack rooms complete the stabling area. A roomy “Manager’s Cottage” provides fully air conditioned accommodation, along with Cable TV and internet access. A large welcome bar, along with bathrooms and shower provide the perfect area for barbecues and offer facilities for catering to events and horse shows.

Happy Trails is the only trail riding facility in Nassau. For 6 days per week visitors can enjoy a 1.5 hour trail ride every morning. They are picked up from their hotel or cruise ship by the Happy Trails courtesy bus, brought out to the stables where they are given some basic riding instruction and then it’s off to the trails. The trails lead through the woods and onto a beautiful unspoiled beach. The pace is leisurely and no special experience is necessary.
