Arranged for a 3 hour party- arts and craft time in a barn with AC, games, animals to pet, horse back riding, and a hayride. A nice patio with tables and benches overlooking the riding rings and barn allows adults to watch over the activities. Incredibly nice and thoughtful people and very safety conscious. All for a noble and humane cause of rescuing at risk horses. Everyone had a great afternoon and we'll be starting riding lessons next. Highly recommended!

And safety is always emphasized. Each lesson starts with grooming the designated horse, saddling up, exercising the horse, and only then, riding. This was a bucket list thing for me and has become a high point of my week. This is a working ranch and stable, not a fancy club. I leave all the stress of daily life behind when I turn down the road into the ranch on Sunday mornings. One special memory is the day we worked in the small arena and she told me to close my eyes while riding. I could really feel the movement of the horse then, and felt no fear at all. A second was the day she pronounced me no longer a beginner and sent me off for a solo victory lap around the big arena. And a third was when we first rode at speed between poles. So far we have worked on three different horses, each selected as the best for that day's learning. I have learned a lot about horses, but also a lot about myself. Rates for lessons are truly reasonable, especially when purchased in blocks of five.

I made our reservations online, easy peasy. The drive took about 45 minutes from New Orleans and it was easy to find with GPS. There is plenty of places to park, buckets are provided and they start promptly at 8:00am. If you want blackberries, arrive early! Blueberries are plentiful! We had 2 adults, a 12 year old and a 2 year old. We enjoyed ourselves so much that we came back 2 weeks later. We picked for about 2 hours, took a break and had a picnic at one of the picnic tables provided. We fed horses with biscuits that the farm has on hand, for free. Then we picked for a little longer. While there, we genuinely felt welcome by the owner and his daughter who were sweet and happy to share their bounty. We took home blackberries, zucchini, peppers, beans, honey, a ton of blueberries and priceless memories. We look forward to next year!

So let me tell you a story…read more When I was growing up there were railroad tracks not far from where I lived. During the summer my sisters and I would go on the tracks and spend hours picking blackberries. We'd go home with tons of them and fingers stained black from the juice. After rinsing them off we'd sprinkle sugar on them and devour them. They were so delicious that we'd usually do it all again the next day. Blackberries are still my favorite of all the berries. There is no way in hell I'd let my children go walking up and down railroad tracks now that I'm a parent (what was our mother thinking!?) but there's a special place that I can take them where they can make their own memories. Ridemore Berry Farm is a pick your own farm in Covington. They have blackberries and blueberries to pick during berry season which is mid May to the beginning of July. There's also a nice little area to have a picnic if you'd like to bring lunch when you visit. You should probably arrive early because my sisters and I might beat you to it and pick all of those yummy blackberries. Seriously. All is fair in love and blackberry picking!
