I loved the charm of this place with great company and beautiful grounds. We got to meet Fiona the donkey so sweet my little one loved it Highly recommend!

I came to Candlelight Farms for a friend's wedding. I have zero experience with the owner or…read moresetting up the event; this review is merely for my experience as a guest at this gorgeous venue. We enjoyed the rehearsal dinner on the porch of the building next to the large silo. It was right before sunset, so we got to enjoy the gorgeous view of the land, trees, and lake while the August sun went down. There was a lovely breeze and we enjoyed our meal under twinkling string lights. There were tons of beautiful flowers blooming around the grounds, and we enjoyed lawn games on the rolling green grass. The next day, for the ceremony, we were located down by the lake. The ceremony took place on a lawn in front of a beautiful old tree, facing the water. Afterwards, we made our way into the old barn and enjoyed cocktail hour and the reception. The space was well designed and the whole experience was magical; candles and simple draperies. A beautiful breeze flowed through the venue as the rumble of thunder echoed in the distance. Despite the thunderstorm that passed through, we were safe and dry inside the barn. All in all, one of the most beautiful and magical wedding venues I've seen.

My daughter started riding with Starbuck 6 years ago as a beginner (she is 14 now). Words really…read morecan't capture how positive this experience has been for my daughter over these years. The instructors/trainers are out of this world. They cater to every single level (which is very challenging I have heard from other parents who have come from other barns). I consider myself very fortunate to have paired my daughter up with this riding team. My daughter loves to go there even on days she is not riding for the camaraderie. In addition to the fantastic training, they also have a great culture, the barn consists of really cool girls and great parents. I would not have changed a thing for her formative years there - thank you sincerely SE!!!!!!!

As my levels increase so do the locations in which to ride. That said, my new-found riding home is Summit Farm, located in North Salam, NY. Truth be told, with the recent move of my coach Michelle Nardini and my recent proficiency at riding, the time was perfect to change the environment and invest into a new horse. Established in 2003, Summit Farm is a family oriented equine facility located in the heart of North Salem. Ashley Yozzo, the incredible and delightful owner, prides herself and her aMARzing team on educating new and seasoned riders with a focus on Hunters and Equitation all while maintaining a fun, enjoyable atmosphere. Summit Farm is also on the North Salem Bridle Trails, a beautifully maintained trail system, which allows riders-from beginner to advanced-the delightful and moving opportunity to experience trail riding among some of the most beautiful vistas. When I arrived there for the first time I noticed a poster reading: "Ladies Trail Ride, a sunset trail ride finished off with refreshments." The trails combined with the sunset lighting sounded wonderful, so I asked "Can I come?" They kindly accepted and so without skipping a beat the Ladies Trail Ride quickly became The Ladies Trail Ride with Mar! As the only gentleman I was both thrilled and excited to participate with the ladies. But would they embrace me into this group? The fun photos show that we all bonded together as if we were kindred friends for decades. Now that was a beautiful night. Faces familiar and new were framed with the backdrop of Summit Farm; it was both a treat and a divine experience as we all watched the sunset glow on our smiles of enjoyment. This place is magical! Not just because of the location or the new friends gathered but the passion and love we all shared for the sport underscored by the beauty, the sunset and of course the fun wine & cheese gathering after the ride.
