Felt right at home the minute I arrived after receiving a warm welcome from both Brenda and Walter…read moreWillet. I participated in the 'Life on a Ranch' program and it certainly did live up to my expectations. Trail guides and program leaders were very knowledgeable and friendly and answered all my questions without judgement. The horses are very well looked after and so are the guests. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to own a horse, this program will enlighten you to all the aspects of 'ranching'. Christine

I have been going here for several years and have had no issues with how things are being run. The farm is currently majority a horse farm and for those who are interested in this it would be a great opportunity. The community is the best part of it and I have had nothing but positive experiences since I started going there. Overall would highly recommend.

My daughter (and I) have volunteered her for a while (over a year). We went in thinking that the…read morebusiness was new, and would improve, and we could have some fun working with the owner. The owner has great ideas, however they have not progressed. There are so many ideas on the go that none seem to get to completion. In my opinion, the barn is filthy with sheep droppings all over - and despite many efforts on my (and others) part to get it cleaned up, it just keeps progressing back to filth. In all fairness to the farmer, there have been issues with flooding which have posed challenges to cleanliness. However, that's only a portion of the year, and doesn't explain the remainder. It's primarily a sheep farm - though the sheep have dwindled. It also has some horses, as the owner is a horse fan. The farm is intended to be a family based farm-tourism spot, with a Christian base. I personally find the amount of swearing going on is not conducive to family atmosphere. (Neither is the level of dirt.) I also have some concerns with the appropriateness of some of the social media posts that are made, and their suitability for a family audience and with some of the decisions that are made around what is appropriate guidance and what isn't. (The girls are there for horseback riding - lets keep it at that level.) As far as riding goes, I have some concerns about safety issues. They run a pony club, which I think is a lot of fun for the younger crowd and appropriately supervised. Older kids are given a lot of unsupervised freedom, which may or may not be a good thing - depends on the rider. Location wise, it's great - close to the Walkle exit of the 417. Would I return: I have in the past, but will not in the future. Would I recommend: Not at this time. The property has great potential for development for agri-tourism serving Ottawa. I hope it happens!
