Exclusively for guests of the Carpe Diem, we are now offering riding lessons at "Carpe Diem Stables" in Truro. Only a 15 minute drive from the guesthouse, you will find a 20x40-meter riding arena which offers perfect conditions for some serious, yet fun equestrian training.

Our friend Alyssa Metcalfe is a MA licensed riding instructor, CHA certified and qualified to teach all the movements through 4th level dressage and lower level jumping. The emphasis is on balanced seat riding, appropriate for all disciplines, incorporating the mind, body and spirit of both horse and rider. In other words, a holistic approach to riding!

The horses at "Carpe Diem Stables" are perfect mounts for riders of all ages and riding skills.

Francis, a very safe and gentle horse, is a Dutch Warmblood gelding. He is willing to introduce any beginner to the magic of horse back riding or teach an advanced rider some special tricks.

Bernstein is a 10 year old Thoroughbred that raced and got retrained for English saddle. Riding him can be a wonderful experience of beauty and harmony. Bernstein has a lot of spirit and power and is only suitable for a more experienced rider.

Riding lessons at "Carpe Diem Stables" are 75 Dollars per hour and can be booked any time before or while you are staying at the Carpe Diem Guesthouse. For your and our convenience it is of course better if we can plan the riding schedule some days in advance. In case riders have to cancel lessons we ask for a 24 hour notice. Riding lessons are considered a special arrangement for our guests and are not part of your room reservation at Carpe Diem Guesthouse. Due to bad weather conditions we might have to cancel lessons that are already scheduled. Please be aware that we are not offering trail rides!

For riders who would like to bring their own horses to Provincetown we can make arrangements at Alyssa´s stable "Flying Changes" which has access to the beautiful trails of the National Seashore.
