Outsiders NY

Join us as we head to Echo Lake Stables for a twilight horseback ride through the woods, followed by a cozy bonfire and a classic BBQ dinner. We'll saddle up as the sun dips below the treeline, soaking in golden hour and the peaceful rhythm of the forest trails before the stars come out. Once the ride wraps, we'll gather around a roaring fire for a well-earned feast, great company, and maybe even a few ghost stories.
This adventure is perfect for riders of all experience levels, whether you're brand new to horses or haven't ridden since summer camp. Whether you're chasing adventure or just craving a break from the city, this crisp autumn night in the forest is the perfect fall escape. Spots are limited, so secure yours before they ride off into the sunset.
Please note: there is a rider weight limit of 225 lbs.

How much time should I allot for this? Our adventures are full-day trips. We don't recommend scheduling other activities on days you attend, especially since return times can be unpredictable.
Is the hike guided? This hike is 100% guided by OUTSIDERS hiking guides. One leads and one stays at the back of the group to account for different pace levels. The intention is to foster connection in a group setting. This hike is beginner-friendly and meant to be fun, not fast.
What weather conditions would lead to a cancellation? Extreme weather (storms, high winds) will lead to a cancellation. If driving is unsafe due to major storms, we will cancel. But we're looking forward to crisp, beautiful fall weather at the end of October!
I'd love to bring my dog. What do I need to know? Dogs must be comfortable around other dogs and people. We'll provide breaks for water, sniffing, and photos along the way.
I don't have a dog. Can I still come? Of course! Whether you're solo or with a furry friend, you and your pup are both welcome.

Trade the city for the countryside and spend a cozy fall day among some of the friendliest animals in the Hudson Valley. We're heading up to Elk Ravine Farm, a family-owned, 90-acre working farm tucked into the rolling hills of Amenia, NY, for a private, hands-on tour you won't forget.
Home to more than 100 animals, Elk Ravine is best known for its herd of fluffy Scottish Highland cattle, but you'll also meet water buffalo, Belgian draft horses, yaks, miniature donkeys, Kune Kune pigs, Nigerian pygmy goats, and even white peacocks. Our visit kicks off with a horse-drawn carriage ride through the property before we get up close for hands-on animal encounters, plenty of photos, and yes, the famous "cow cuddles." It's a peaceful, joyful, one-of-a-kind escape, and a chance to see how this family's conservation-first approach is healing the land.
