Such a great time, would definitely recommend! A decent drive out from Markham is this horse riding…read moreranch with several horses and huge, expansive, beautiful property that includes a forest! We came here in September on a warm and comfortable evening. It was pretty empty when we arrive and we signed in a little house at the front, then we were led by a staff member to the horses after a short introduction video and in-person intro to help us put on our helmets and stow our stuff safely away (like keys and phones). We then boarded our horses and were lucky that there were only 2 of us so we basically got a private horseback riding excursion! The staff member who guided was quite experienced and knew how to manage and control the horses well. We walked around the forest a lot, traversing up and down hills, doing a bit of trotting and riding on the horse which was quite an experience! It was enjoyable and relaxing to ride these horses! I think my horse and I got along pretty well, since the horses are pretty well trained and walk these paths a lot you don't really need to guide them too much; and they also follow the other horses pretty well. Time of the day matters too! We came near the end of the day so the horses were getting tired, sluggish and less inclined to walk around (they just wanted to eat and rest!). I'd definitely recommend long pants and bug spray for this activity; and to dress in comfortable clothing. Overall, the experience was fantastic and I'd definitely come back!

Ryan Horse We came…read moreby for a trail ride and I have mixed reviews. I told them I know how to ride and they gave me a horse named Ryan, who was really sluggish and required tons of leg work to keep up with the group. It was absolutely exhausting and super frustrating. We came by here to celebrate our one year wedding anniversary and I did not enjoy it. My husband and was given a different horse named Ranger, and he didn't have to do anything to keep his horse moving. He had a much better experience than me. Another con is they don't let you interact with the horses before the ride or after the ride. I would have liked to be able to pet the horses or pet them and get some close ups with the horses. When you are on the trail ride they take your photo at two spots and this is included with admission cost. However we paid full price and I heard other people say how much they paid and they had used a groupon and paid half as much as us. After the ride, they offered us a promo to come back but I did not take the flyer because I did not want to go back. I feel bad writing this review because I don't want anything bad to happen to any of the horses if their business does badly but I did not have a good time. I don't recommend riding the horse named Ryan. The company also said to not to bring your phones but everyone else brought their phones. I was disappointed I didn't have mine.

They offer private, semi-private and group lessons and aren't too far from the city of Toronto. Their horses are trained really well and they will work with you to teach you what you need to learn.

My daughter has been riding at YERS for years. With the second wave COVID lockdowns I called and…read moreemailed the owners about why the school continued to be open despite an estimated positivity rate of up to 25% in school-aged children. The owner, Erika, was dismissive of my concerns pointing out that the animals required feeding. While I empathize with small business owners I explained that serious consideration should be given to continuing lessons in the middle of a pandemic. Clearly we did not agree which was fine. Months later I tried to enquire about extending fall classes for my daughter and to my surprise I was met with resistance. My wife and I are separated and I was told by Erika that my ex-wife was that only parent that she would be corresponding with. I tried to explain that I was only asking for extra riding dates but again the owner said she would refuse to speak with me even though I have communicated with her before. My daughter does enjoy the school which is the only reason why I am not pulling her out - I don't want her to be in the middle of this. It's a shame that the owners resorted to this tactic even though I was just trying to provide constructive criticism. Please stay safe everyone

UNPROFESSIONAL, RUDE, with PROFANITY used towards customers…read more Unless you want NO CLEAR COMMUNICATION and have your BELONGINGS DAMAGED, and SUFFER ATTITUDE, steer clear of this shop. Long story short, came at the recommendation of Greenhawk and had items put on consignment at Baker's. After 3 months, when I called to pick up items I was told for the first time ITEMS SOLD and MONEY HELD WITHOUT TELLING CUSTOMER!! Next day, I arrived for pick up only to find that the SADDLES MARKED PERMANENTLY WITHOUT CONSENT. Never once did Baker's even mention that the saddles would be marked permanently, never mind getting consent to do it. Finally, when I asked a few simple questions to the shop, I was TOLD BY OWNER that I was "WASTING HIS TIME...and B*TCHING..." and asked "Why was I still hanging around the shop if I already have gotten my money from the consignment."
