Can't say enough good things about this place!!…read more I came out here with a group of 10 for a bachelorette party in October and we had an amazing experience! Cate, the owner was an absolute delight to work with and she was so helpful. I probably called 10 different times with numerous questions/changing the group size, etc. and she was so patient and accommodating. They provide the helmets and any additional equipment needed for the horse back ride. Our group was a divide of some experienced riders and some total beginner's, some of which were very nervous and afraid (myself included) and they were really good about helping us feel comfortable. There was a guide at the beginning and the end of the group. The ride was pretty long, about an hour and a half and we went onto the beach for part of it which was really pretty. We also did some advanced riding, called trotting, which was a bit scary, as a non-horse lover, but it ended up being fun! This is definitely a fun and different activity. I will warn that it is pricey though at 180$/person!

I booked the 1.5hr ride to the beach and back for my boyfriend and I. I'm an experienced rider and…read morehe hasn't ridden a horse since he was a child, so we were hoping for a little more instruction for him other than "pull back to stop and kick to go". We were already on the horses for 5min before the guide stopped, introduced himself and asked if it was anyone's first time on a horse before (little late to be asking that!). Due to his thick accent, it was also extremely difficult to understand him when he was shouting instructions from the back of a horse. The trail itself was extremely rocky and the horses were frequently smashing their hooves/slipping on the rocky terrain. Our guide was always 2 horse lengths ahead of the group with another rider, so if something had happened while riding and we needed immediate assistance, we would have had to yell for him to stop. We were with an inexperienced group of riders, so we trotted one time and then never tried again. The oddest thing was after the ride. The guide took a couple quick pictures of each group while on the beach and told us to leave our number so he could send us the pictures afterwards. We did, bought a hat from them and left. Then my boyfriend received a message via Venmo from the business "reminding that we haven't received a tip from you for your ride and we accept tips via Venmo". Two days went by and still no pictures. I messaged them on Instagram and got no reply. The following day I called and asked if the pictures could be sent to me and was told she would let our guide (Carvel) know to send them. I then received texts from someone who was obviously Carvel himself telling me again he still hadn't received a tip from us. I asked if it was required to leave a tip in order to receive the pictures and he said "did not say that- but Carvel took the photos on his personal phone which he did not have to do so we believe he deserves a tip." Carvel never asked for my phone to take the pictures which I would have happily provided if asked. We finally got the pictures after I sent a string of angry messages. After paying over $400 for the ride and the hat, I never expected to have to harass the business multiple times for three pictures that were taken in a rush. I do not recommend this experience.

I don't feel M.M. experience justifies this business. Cindy does her best. There is a trade-off…read moreyou see. If you want polished up perfection then go to Jumpers Academy where you can find top quality barn stalls, and a multi-million dollar indoor ring, then go there. Expect to be yelled at relentlessly and humiliated by the owner especially if your child came from another barn that they don't know it like. Oh and by the way, at Jumper's keep your ears open they speak horribly about their clients- you can hear the trainers while in the viewing room. At Outback you will NEVER EVER be disrespected. At Outback, if you see something in the aisle that looks like a bit of garbage or whatever, pick it up. Be part of their solution, don't put their business down. They do the best they can do with the little help they have for having around 50 horses boarded and leased and owned. Every barn has their problems. If you don't like something find a resolve. There is an Outback family feel here where you can get to know Cindy and her lesson horses. In other barns, no way do they want the parent hanging around the aisle. ...unless your either wealthy or wealthy AND a horse owner you are shooed into a viewing room. Mystic Valley trainer Fat Shamed my daughter And Jumpers humiliated my girl in front of other riders; she got sick to her stomach before every training. You will never find Cindy at Outback tolerating anyone being treated badly. As for Outback horses, they are treated well/ worked a bit much on the number of lessons but that's because so so so many people love it there-- no pressure- no fat shaming- no screaming at a rider to perform!! They live for their horses and are on site 24/7- working. It's the best place to begin learning to ride and it's where my daughter and I found ourselves falling in love w horses.

I just began riding again after taking a 30 year break. I found Outback Stables through the New…read moreLondon, CT adult Ed program. I was happy to discover that Outback Stables was a fun, friendly affordable place to ride. It's great to be back in the saddle again. Thank you, Outback Stables!
