"Jackie is a true professional when it comes to handling and riding horses. She not only shows you new ways of doing things she is willing and happy to educate you on just about anything. She has been so kind to everyone she meets and has given her all to everyone of her students. Highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to take some lessons."

"This is a great and un-intimidating place for kids (and their parents) to get into horse riding with a real pro. Our kids - aged 5, 8, and 11 - just started this year and they have loved learning with Jackie. It’s a welcoming and down to earth place, and she has somehow gotten our kids to have fun and work hard at the same time! They can ride year round too which is great!"

"Hidden Lake is by far a wonderful place to send a child for either summer horse camp or private lessons. Jackie is so knowledgeable and truly professional. And, her assistant, Ms. Lia is a gem as well. Our 10 year old attended the camp for a week last summer and again this year. She enjoyed it so much that we brought her back for private lessons. She loved it! It is a beautiful landscape on acres of property located in Southold, NY. It is just an absolute treasure. They are so great with all of the youngsters, and the hands-on training they get is second to none. If you are looking for a great experience for your children anytime- year round, I highly recommend Hidden Lake Farm Riding School! You will not be disappointed."

"This past summer I had the pleasure of taking riding lessons at Hidden Lake Farm with Jackie. I rode with her several years ago and it brought back many fond memories. Although it has grown in size over the years, it still has the feeling of being a warm and friendly barn. While Jackie is a lot of fun, she is also very serious when it comes to her teaching of the equestrian arts. If I lived closer, I would keep my horse with her and continue my lessons on a more regular basis. I will be back riding with her this summer, and hope to continue to do so indefinitely. She is the best bar none!"

"Hidden Lake Farm is a riding school where you will learn to ride the correct way. The horses are lovely and receive the very best care. Jackie Bittner is a kind and patient instructor who in incomparable in her knowledge of riding and horsemanship. In addition to riding, the farm offers boarding, fox hunting, pony camp, pony rides and Birthday parties for the little ones. The indoor arena allows for year round lessons and there is also a gorgeous cross country course for more advanced riders. Although I live 2 hours away in Brooklyn, I have made the trip to ride with Jackie at least once a week for the past year. It is well worth the trip!"
