We expected an immersive…read moreequestrian experience, but my daughter received less than 15 minutes of saddle time per day. Instead of multiple opportunities to ride and learn, the program felt like an overpriced babysitting service. If you are looking for a camp where your child actually spends time with horses, I suggest looking elsewhere. This was a massive disappointment and a poor value for the money. We went there summer of 2025.

I met met so many amazing new people and love going to the barn. I recently started leasing a gorgeous horse named Fred who I have learned so much from. Sara matched me up perfectly with the best boy. Even though I have only been riding for a short time, Sara's training and love has allowed me to win champion at my first two shows - WEC Ohio and my first ever show. All of the horses are taken care of so well and couldn't be healthier. I love the DHF family so much!!

We did the hike with two kids, so it's overall not that hard.

The staff were great in helping us with set-up and facilitating the events while the backdrop was everything a person could love for a fall setting.

Recently, I wrote a review for Harry Dunham Park, which is also in Basking Ridge, about a mile or 2…read moredown the road from here. That park is actually closer to where I live, but this is where I prefer to come. I discovered it a few years ago. I always thought it was in Warren, but I guess technically it's Basking Ridge. My hours were somewhat wacky. In the past, back in the day, I had jogged at the high school track...even the local cemetery...but, given my increasingly bizarre hours, that wasn't really practical anymore. This park was a place where I could run early in the morning, or in the evening. Maybe it's just a personal preference, but I really like this place. It doesn't have some of the amenities that Harry Dunham has, but I think I can live without disc golf, if you wanna know the truth... I can't really tell how large the park is--- if you walk around the circumference of it, I'd guess it's approximately 2 miles? It has several athletic fields; some are obviously for baseball, the larger ones in the upper portion of the park look like they were designed for soccer (Pingry School is just up the road from the park, and I know the Italian Championship Soccer Team stayed there some years ago to practice...I wouldn't have known that...I'm as interested in soccer as I am in disc golf...but an Italian-born co-worker was a soccer enthusiast, and he told me). There's ample parking in the upper portion parallel to Liberty Corner Road, but I prefer coming down past a building used by the road department, where there's another parking lot-- this one is smaller but usually less crowded (unless it's a spring/summer evening and the athletic fields are being used by local sports teams, adult and juvenile). I'm not much of a jogger anymore, but I'll start with a jog, run as far on the path as I can before I become winded, walk some, jog a little more, walk even more, jog, pause to dry heave in the bushes, stagger walk until I recover, walk the rest of the way shakily, cautiously back to my car. It's ok. At least I'm still doing SOMETHING healthy, and the surrounding countryside is gorgeous (whatever season it is, although you have to watch the ice on the paths in the winter); it's always refreshing and restorative, whether I'm in shape or not. There are 2 small buildings at opposite ends of the park, that look like they have water fountains, and I guess have bathrooms as well (I haven't had to avail myself of them, so I can't really be sure). There are twisting paths that branch off from the park and wend their way through the woods, and I always like to take advantage of these. One time, I went off on a path that could have been a deer path, which twisted its way down a steep hillside, and came to a gurgling stream. Not exactly the Rocky Mountains, but I was impressed. Not sure where the stream leads (I've lived in Somerset County since I was in my teens, but I guess I'm still a Passaic County city boy at heart), but one day soon I'm going to have to spend more time and follow it along towards wherever it leads (Bedminster?). It's beautiful, tranquil, and occasionally even exhilarating, abundant with natural grandeur and loveliness. If there's such a thing as "God's Country," this could qualify. If there's a down side, it can get too crowded, especially on spring/summer evenings, when the sports teams and their "fans" monopolize the parking lot and playing fields. And there are a'holes who walk their dogs, let the dogs shite on the walking paths, and don't bother cleaning up. But you can't hold the park responsible for that. There are a'holes everywhere, sad to say. Even in bucolic, beautiful Somerset County.

It was a nice peaceful stroll. There is a little waterfall that sounds so very soothing about 1/2 mile in. The trail is well marked and maintained. They do not allow dogs on the trails, which is odd because I saw a lot of paw prints in the mud. The trails are very quiet and not than many people go on them. I was the only one on the trail that I was on. I think this is one of the better trails in the area because of its maintenance, ease to get to and through there, quietness, and little to no other people on the trail. I will tray and make it back here soon to check out the building and another trail.
