She also specializes in gaited horses which is pretty remarkable to see them achieve their natural gait consistently. We ended up buying our first horse from Megan and it's been an absolutely pleasure.

There are wooded trails as well as fields and a service road to drive or ride down that are truly beautiful and really make you happy that you have a horse to share the experience with. There is also an outdoor ring a short little ride away from the barn that is also regularly dragged and has great footing for driving or riding. The barn itself is always immaculate, I have a really hard time even reading the other reviews because I've been here for almost 2 years and it has honestly been the nicest barn I've ever been in and I used to attend one of the most well-known equestrian colleges in New York State and the level of cleanliness and care that Debbie and Greg work towards for their own place equals that. They treat me and my horse incredibly well. He is a mini and they accommodated him greatly when we first arrived by adding to their fencing and building him a door that he can see out of, and regularly ask if I am happy with his weight as they are knowledgeable enough to know that these guys can have weight issues pretty easily. They are quick to answer any questions and always make sure to greet with a smile. I always feel welcome here. I feel like they truly care about my horse and I deeply appreciate that. The stalls always have fresh shavings, clean buckets, and are cleaned regularly. The barn aisle is always clean, the wash stall is always ready to be used, with a well lit overhead light, water, and vacuum ready, and the tack room is always welcoming and tidy. The stalls are 12x12 so they are actually nice for larger horses and pretty graciously sized for ponies, and is practically a condo for my mini. It is quiet and enjoyable for me because a lot of places don't know how to handle a mini, let alone a mini that drives -- so I also have to mention that it is incredibly easy to store my cart there and they also have very handy lockers to put other equipment in. I really can't say enough about this place as it is really a place I wish I could have as my own and I've never had to worry about my horse, I always know he's in good hands.

The owner is fantastic and up on everything that goes on at the farm, very involved and approachable. The instructors are great and there is someone for every level, whether you just want to ride for fun or progress up the levels to compete. The indoor arena is huge and the footing is like you are riding on a cushion. The outdoor is just as nice. The pastures are huge for what is to be expected in the area and always have grass. All the horses are well cared for. The lesson horses are awesome! You can learn something different from each one... Merlin being my personal favorite :) I would definitely recommend Brookfield to anyone looking to board their horse or take lessons.

I drive past this farm a couple of times a week. It's absolutely beautiful, and so are the horses that roam the fields here. I've only been on to the facility a couple of times, but everyone was friendly and it was a five-star facility all the way. Their employees are wonderful, their facilities are top notch, their horses are beautiful, and Steven Spielberg himself has several ponies here. Okay I can't back up the Spielberg claim, but that's how magical this place is. I could not recommend it more highly to anyone with horses that need a home.

By GTA, I mean Port Colborne but it makes sense as there's actually beach on the banks of Lake Erie! There are a lot of options for riding - trail riding, rides along the beach during the day or especially at sunset, as well as private and semi-private rides. They only slightly differ in costs. Our group of 4 booked online for a lunchtime ride to the beach. They take a credit card for reservation. You pay the day of the ride. They offer a 5% discount if you pay in cash which is nothing to scoff at if you're going with a group! There are a few things that you should know about your ride. The first is that you must fill out a liability waiver. You can do this online before you show up. They also suggest that you wear long pants (I can attest that there will be some chaffing in the saddle!) and narrow shoes that will fit in the stirrups. If you don't have special riding shoes like me, I'd suggest wearing something safe like running shoes. Make sure you leave a lot of time to get to Horseplay if you're coming from Toronto. It takes longer than you'd think because you're taking a lot of local roads once you get off the QEW. There is a large barn there that consists of their store and 2 restroom stalls. I was really happy to see that they weren't portable restrooms! We asked the employee in the store whether we needed bug spray and they recommended we put some on just in case. I tend to attract mosquitoes but it wasn't buggy at all during our daytime trail ride. I would definitely recommend sunscreen though as there isn't much shade on the ride. You could definitely burn during the 1.5 hours out there. Before we got on the horses, we were fitted for helmets by one of the employees. We were also given a saddle bag to carry some essentials like a water bottle, keys, phone, etc. They are pretty deep but open at the top so I'd keep an eye out on your stuff just in case. I thought there were be more of a pre-amble before we got on the horses but after we were set up with gear, it was mounting time! They make it easier for the first timers. There's a platform that you stand on before your horse gets led over. It's not a huge climb and was easy to get on board. Once you're on the horse, they give you a quick run down on how to steer your horse with the reins. They will try to pair you with an adequately sized horse which I was thankful for - seethere were some huge horses that made me seriously consider whether my fear of heights would kick in lol. The ride has you go single file through gravel trail, on the side of roads, and eventually down to the beach. You'll actually wade into the beach on your horse! This is where your guides will offer to take some pictures for you and your horse can stop to take a drink. The trek down was really smooth. We only sped up into a trot a few times. Our guides let us know before we started to get going into a faster pace so it wasn't a surprise. It was a really cool experience and well worth the $90 (beach ride plus tax and tip).

We stayed for about 2 hours, with 1/2hr being the one on one lesson. She loved it! She was scared for a moment when the horse sneezed and asked to get down. Nikki handled that situation perfectly and encouraged her to get back up there. She did, and finished the lesson with pride! We can't wait to go back!!
