What a beautiful ranch in celadon with a very friendly ownership. They ranch is big and beautiful. The horses love to get some cuddles . And you can go for a horseback riding or get trained in it. The site is well managed and organized, pretty clean and spacious. Totally visit there if not for riding business but for photography read more

I took my 2 grandsons here for a fun exciting adventure. The office staff was awesome. The two girls who took us on the private trail ride were excellent. They were very aware of safety requirements ensuring everyone had a safe and happy day out. The horses were healthy and very calm. Worth every penny. We will do this again. The ranch is large and very beautiful. read more

I always wanted to try horse back riding. So I googled and this place came up. The prices were very worth while. I had an hour of horse ride which costed 50$. They have many horses for all ages and sizes. I absolutely loved their hostility. There were two women one leading and one at the end of the pack to guide and help get through the ride smoothly and safely. read more

Fallbrook Trail Ranch - Horseback Riding Near Me - Halton Hills, Ontario

The bright side: The horses were calm and beautiful, and the grounds were as nice and picturesque as can be expected in rural Ontario. Issues: 1) We booked for a same-day 4 p.m. ride on a Saturday. The male staff member on the phone took all our details and said, "No problem. Plenty of space." When we arrived at 3:40, two female staff members checked the reservation book back and forth, and told us they had no reservations under our name. They would have to saddle up some horses at the last minute for us. Even though we had done everything right to book ahead of time, somehow a mess-up still occurred, and the staff gave us the impression that we were being squeezed into a last-minute slot. As a result . . . 2) We ended up in a group ride of 11 people (plus three instructors) for the final slot of the day. It was a very "leisurely" pace, to say the least, not only in getting everyone matched up with their horses and saddled up, but the ride itself. Because the 11 of us rode single file, it was just an hour of riding and staring at the horse/person in front of you; there was no chance to interact with the main instructor and ask questions about the ride or get feedback, unless you were one of the first two riders at the front. (The two instructors at the back just talked about their own weekend and their upcoming school events--no effort to talk to the customers.) 3) Worse of all: In our party of 4, two of us weren't very well-matched with our horses for size, and as a result, felt discomfort by the end: Our teen got a horse that was too tall and the stirrups too low, so her feet didn't go into the stirrups at all (the staff even knew that at the time they saddled her up). She had to ride the whole hour without stirrups--not fun at all for a first-time rider who kept feeling like she would fall without the stirrups for her feet to stabilize in. My husband, conversely, got stirrups that were too high, so for the hour, he felt like his knees were up too high and uncomfortable. An experienced instructor should have seen that A) stirrups were needed for the comfort of a beginner, and B) the stirrups were too high for a taller person. 4) Because some horses were saddled up last-minute, or because it was such a large group, it seemed like some of us had to match up with horses that might not have been appropriate for us. The instructor asked if any of us were experienced, and gave one of the friskier horses "for the experienced" to my husband (who has only ridden *once* before) and one horse to me (even though I told her that I had never ridden before). My horse was calm for the most part, but she did veer independently several times. One of the staff members even said, "Yeah, you'll have to keep an eye on her. She's independent." It felt a bit unfair and disturbing that the staff would give such a horse to a newbie rider, even though I was very clear that I had never ridden before. 5) Because it was the last ride of the day, we felt rushed in having to get off our horses so they could be unsaddled. (In fact, several times during the ride, one of the instructors kept reminding us that these horses had been out all day, and they were so happy that this was the last ride.) As a result, we didn't even get the chance to take a group photo atop our horses--something that the group before us had the opportunity to do. All in all, a very disappointing $200 experience. I really wanted my children's first ride to be a good experience, and now it has the opposite effect in engraving a negative association in their mind with horses. :( *** Edited to answer business owner's message to me: The owner comments: "Fitting the horse, we do our best but if you're uncomfortable by all means speak up and we'll do our best to help out." Response: Yes, we did tell the staff. See point #3 above, where I stated "Our teen got a horse that was too tall and the stirrups too low, so her feet didn't go into the stirrups at all (the staff even knew that at the time they saddled her up)". How about my further comment: "An experienced instructor should have seen that A) stirrups were needed for the comfort of a beginner, and B) the stirrups were too high for a taller person." "If anyone is asked if they are experienced and you have only ridden once I would recommend saying that you're not comfortable with a demanding horse." Response: See point #4, "gave one of the friskier horses [. . .] to me (even though I told her that I had never ridden before)". Again, experienced/concerned instructors would have heeded a client's comment that she had never ridden before, and not given an independent horse that even the instructor herself had to go over and control to get back on track. "Part of the experience is actually having something to do on the ride besides sit. It's a horse after all." Response: Yes, we did do as we were instructed. But we are beginners after all. Not expected to pay $$$ and still feel like we have to suffer. read more

What a great staff, a warm reception and helpful. I've been there often and never thought to post a review until recently. Especially after reading the negative one listed here. All of my experiences have been positive and even when there are any snags or problems the staff seems keen to find a way to fix things. The horses always seem to look well cared for and in good condition, the scenery is great and particularly in the fall when the leaves are changing. I've attended various events and the one thing that always stands out is that the people seem to really care about the horses and enjoy what they do. Check them out! read more

I was just up here this past weekend for a 2-hr trail ride. Elsa was an awesome guide. My horse, Pascale, was so well-behaved. It's hard to find a place that will let experienced riders canter on the trails, but this place does. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't really cooperative and the trails were a bit too muddy for any long runs, but we worked with what we had. The property is beautiful and the horses are so well taken care of. My flight was running late and they graciously waited for me to hurry there so I wouldn't miss my ride. Janesse was so sweet and kept in contact with me via email to make the trail ride happen for me and start my Toronto vacation off on a good note. Thank you guys so much. I will be back when I'm up there again, hopefully for a longer ride. read more

Fantastic time! So lovely, Mel was amazing, ponies were so good. Salvaged a disastrous birthday, will be back!! Thanks for having us!!

What a great and friendly staff. I booked a 30 minute trail ride with my wife, and three children. The staff explained everything, took the time to make me feel comfortable as a parent that my kids were safe, and we all had a great ride. Highly recommended. read more

I am not a person for spending time on horseback, but I have been to Fallbrook Trail twice this summer. The staff are friendly and helpful, the new owners are interested in improving the facilities and have taken great steps to start improvements. The facilities are surprisingly nice and I have made plans to spend time there as often as I can. I am currently making plans for the office to hold parties there, it would be a wonderful place to loosen up and relax with my office staff. Absolutely a great place to get away from the stresses of life. read more

Amazingly beautiful landscape. I loved the forest and the meadow. The staff were great and super helpful. Great for all levels.
