So funny tale here... normally on my friend trips up to New Paltz we stop at this one farm and feed…read morethe horses carrots. We go up this time... no horses, new fence, one barn is missing and all I see are sheep. What the frig Ricky?! So I search for other farms and find Lucky C Stables. We randomly drive to this place and just ask out the window if we could feed some horses... to our surprise we were met with smiling faces and even given a tour of the barns!! It was so enjoyable and we met, pet and fed so many cool horse buddies, that I would love to come back and book a trail ride or lesson next time I am around. Such friendly people and they made our day!

Jennifer was on hand to assist and went above and beyond to ensure my reservation for my needs. Jennifer set me up with one of their trainers, Ollie and Ollie was beyond amazing.

Ollie was patient, kind and caring. She was informative, helpful and great. I also spoke to the barn manager, Shelly briefly when I got lost. Shelly was so personable and outgoing. This was a great day, lesson and an experience we will be back for!

I kicked off my birthday weekend with a morning ride here and had an incredible time!!! My husband…read moreand I did a one hour trail ride around the property (I think it's around 20 acres) with Linda and Christy (Kristy?) who were both so friendly and helpful. I had gone horseback riding once over the summer, but I am definitely a newbie and Linda guided us on what to do (ex: lean back when going downhill and lean forward when going uphill). I love that we got to walk AND trot and cross streams. My horse Sarge was a former NYPD horse and he was very good and well behaved (although he was quick and ate some grass before I could stop him while on the trail). After we finished, Linda helped take some photos of us and we got to meet the other horses in the stable. I would absolutely recommend coming here!!!

It was my 17-year-old son's first horseback riding experience, and he absolutely loved it! Bob,…read moreLinda, and Olivia were incredibly kind, patient, and helpful. It was clear they really knew each horse and carefully matched the right horse to each person in a group. My son was paired with a beautiful white horse named Ghost, who was calm, gentle, and perfectly suited for a first-time rider. By the end of the ride, he felt confident and was already talking about coming back again. Thank you, Bob, Linda, and Olivia, for making his first horseback riding experience so special and memorable!!!

The staff is wonderful, caring, and very attentive. Just walk into the barn and you will immediately get a sense of how calm and happy the horses are.

Just came back from a family vacation at the ranch. First time there (since I was a little kid) and…read morewe had an amazing time! Loved the all-inclusive aspect and the fact that we could do a little at a time and hang out in the room whenever we wanted. Sports and games all over the property makes it easy to have fun, plus lots of places to relax. The food was delicious and the staff was super helpful and friendly.

If you were to choose between Rocking Horse Ranch and Great Wolf Lodge, it's an easy choice. Yes,…read moreRocking Horse Ranch is more expensive but there is an endless amount of activities for the kids to do. We came on the coldest weekend of the year but my kids had a blast skiing, snow tubing, horseback riding, pony rides, arcade, game room, playing laser tag, swimming in the pool, the outdoor hot tub, and the nightly shows. Food is included in the price and it is buffet style for breakfast and lunch. Dinner is not but you are more than welcome to order more and take things to go. There's snacks available between lunch and dinner but there's also hot chocolate/coffee available all day long with some pastries. The only downside were the rooms. They are connected so if you have loud neighbors, you won't be getting good sleep. Overall, my kids loved the place and want to go back soon. I guess we'll have to wait for another Black Friday deal.

I have to agree with the reviewers here!…read more I bought the coupon and I was SUPER excited to go with my boyfriend. I tried calling them for a reservation...for 2 days straight and no one picks up! Finally a lady picks up and told me that shes really busy during the days and mornings and that I should email her. Fine, she gave me her email address. Every time I email her, she/they replies back a week or two later. NO JOKE. Here and there she tells me what she has this available or asking questions about my boyfriend and I (height, weight and etc.) or if I can do this day or that day. Yet when I reply within that second, i won't hear back until 2 weeks later. BY THEN those days that we "settled" on already past!! Days goes by then weeks then I'm looking at months going by!! . I bought this coupon in like Aug-Sept. HOPING that i can enjoy this in the fall with my boyfriend! By November, forget it. I called the place where I bought the vouchers from to get a refund or atleast credits. Thank God!

The horseback riding experience itself was fun for us, total beginners!!! Horses were tamed and…read morethankfully, no one fell off or got injured. 1 - Reservation - Bought my voucher from Groupon. Reserving the date on the website was a breeze; however, cancelling and rebooking another date was a nightmare!!!! No one would answer the phone or email in a timely matter. We emailed them to change from Sat 10am to Sun 10am; a few days would go by before someone wrote back to say "Sun 10am is booked, what about 2pm?" I replied "OK" immediately. Then a week goes by and finally someone replied, "Sorry Sun 2pm is booked, how about another day?" By the time they replied, the slots were already booked. It was ridiculous! 2 - Day of Ride - Helen, the owner?, called us at 7am and told us that the trails were closed, because of the heavy rain the night before. I was offered to either to reschedule or ride the arena. There is no way I am going to reschedule, so we went. We arrived 45 min early just to check out the farm. There were 4-5 staff there; all young college-like ladies, plus 1-2 older women. The farm was open, with cats and chickens roaming freely around. We signed the waiver form, grabbed our helmets (gross, small and dirty!), and mounted our horses. 3 - Horseback Riding - Our horses name were Aurora, Jupiter, Levi, and Lakota. The 4 horses trotted in a line; 2 staff were walking and leading the first 2 smaller horses my daughters rode. For an hour, we rode around the outdoor arena, and up and down the driveway path twice. My 10 year old daughter said "We were not really controlling the horse that much. It was boring, because part of fun was to learn and control your own horse the way you want, but that did not happened." They did not offer any riding lessons or stories of the horses or rescue facility. No hot cocoa either.
