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!

We decided to take a lesson. Cowboy Bob was very good at teaching all of us Horse Safety. He was very clear and new exactly how to prepare us. My 7 yr old had no fear and was able to ride the horse with Cowboy Bobs simple guidance. This was reasonably priced at 85.00 an hour per horse. The safety course which was about an 1/2 was free of charge. FYI... the rest of the farm is exciting too. I highly recommend them. It's not a business to them, it's their passion,

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!!!

The stable and property is absolutely beautiful and it's not your run of the mill little trek around the property, it's 20 something acres with woods, fields and water to ride through. Bob immediately greeted us upon arrival then we were introduced to Linda, Olivia and the horses. You can tell from the get go how well cared for the horses are and how much they truly love doing what they do. I've been riding most of my life and they are able to match your horse to your level of riding whether it's just starting or intermediate. If you're looking for a personable experience that exceeds expectations, go to Braden Brook. We came here two days in a row and we will most definitely be traveling back here in the near future to ride again and experience the different seasons. Thank you Bob, Linda and Olivia for the experience :) Courtney & John

We even took our dog, planning on either leaving her in the car for the trail ride part or tied up outside. Joe was amazing and so informative. He took his time with both of us novices. He even noticed our dog was very attentive to us so he allowed her to accompany us on the trail. It was the first time she was 'off leash' for any period of time and she had as much fun as we did. The horses were tame and responsive to every pull. Overall, it could not have been better! I thank Joe for his patience and guidance and look forward to a repeat visit the next time we are anywhere near Jewett. Make this a priority stop for a great time.

I went there with my and my family we were on the way with snow tubing. It was the best in the water parking lot It was really nice and the hot tub it was for relaxing the very cozy. The room service was amazing. They took care of the bed really well and I just want to say if you're choosing through great Wolf Lodge or any other Ranch cause it's very nice and he has a horseback I didn't get to go, but it's OK and there is lots and lots to do I just hope that the will open soon as soon next time as I come back maybe the boats will open, but I just wanna say thank you for opening this resort throughout all these years and your cat is very nice. I love your cats rocking horse ranch very nice. I just want your cat is very cute. I just want to say one more thing. It's a very nice experience so tomorrow my cousin is coming to the horse Ranch so I should have a great time The besties great time as I did my mom the other group of our family is coming right now so I hope you have a great time make them comfortable and I hope you guys have a great day.

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.
