Private Lessons. My experience couldn't be better; nothing I would want to change. Booking is…read moreeasy, communication regarding scheduling changes speedy and helpful, kind, professional, knowledgeable, considerate of individual learning styles and needs. Instructors are exceptional. Nikki (5 hours) brings a wealth of English riding discipline and applies it to our lessons. Julia (1 hour) felt like a continuation of the work I was doing with Nikki, yet obviously with her own style. Each lesson is focused on growing the basics. Both instructors are very mindful of your body language, not just the mechanics and answer questions providing insight into horse behaviour based on your interactions. They keep the horse consistent . For all this I will continue to drive 2 hours round trip for two lessons (30 min ea) once a week! (perspective of this review: mature adult novice/beginner English rider, picking back up from childhood recreational riding. Recently started taking lessons and wanted to find a place to add another lesson each week.)

0/5 would not recommend…read more Immediately after I fractured my finger, my party notified Cornerstone Ranch to request a new date, as I was--and still am not--medically cleared to trail ride. Very disappointing that they wouldn't reschedule us and only offered a 50% discount, citing their cancellation policy and having to adjust their staffing. To be clear, we did not ask to cancel; we asked to reschedule our trail ride due to a medical emergency. Their policy COULD allow for exceptions in circumstances like this, but they chose not to make one. Given the advance notice we provided, the ranch had the opportunity to adjust staffing accordingly. The Ranch also suggested that I could have purchased the optional ticket insurance at booking for added flexibility. But I did not plan to break my finger or require the flexibility to reschedule. Unexpected events happen, but unfortunately your response suggests that protecting revenue takes precedence over accommodating customers facing genuine emergencies. Their "well wishes" feels disingenuous when it is paired with a refusal to either (1) honor the ride at a later date without penalty or (2) provide a full refund. Extremely disappointing.

The Food: Solid pub food with some fancier entrees too. Excellent burgers, wings, salads, and sandwiches. Drinks: A good beer selection from all of the major brands and a few obscure craft beers. I'm not a wine person but it looked a good variety. Service: Always prompt, helpful. Food arrives pretty quickly. The Atmosphere: Inside is a clean, bright, spacious timber frame, with several TVs all on golf channel(s). Who knew there seems to be more than one golf channel?! But the outside patio is where this place shines: Wrought iron tables with colorful umbrellas, with a stunning view of the 1st hole and beyond. I'm not a golfer but it's easy to understand some of the pleasures of the game. General notes: None of the "snottiness" that you might expect from an upscale golf course, very casual and friendly place. Summer Thursday nights has folk / light rock live music on the patio, the only time this place seems really crowded and need a reservation.

10 reasons Ridge Valley is amazing…read more 1) They're only about an hour outside of Boston. Close enough that it's easy to get to, but far enough that you get a break from the city. 2) Their prices are incredibly reasonable. $40 for an hour trail ride? Not bad at all. And $50 for a private hour ride. 3) Their horses seem well cared for and happy. 4) I called in the morning on a Sunday, expecting to have to schedule a ride for the next weekend, and they had an opening later that afternoon! 5) You can do more than walk. Another stable I went to several months ago was perfectly nice but all of their rides are walking only, and as an intermediate rider, that isn't very exciting for me. 6) I went on an hour ride and there were 6 spots where we were able to trot and/or canter. For this length of a ride, that was more times than I anticipated! 7) They also offer lessons (western or English). 8) They'll meet you with their horses for rides along the Cape or around Blackstone Canal. 9) Riding all year round! 10) HORSES! Anyplace with horses is amazing.

The Martin Family Ranch is a must! I was expecting to learn a bit and then enjoy a trail ride, but…read morewhat I got from Jess and David was so much more. I'm writing this a few days after my experience and am still smiling. At first, I actually drove right past their property because it was so beautiful that I thought it was someone's beautiful home with well-kept grounds. Jess greeted me outside. We chatted a bit about what I should expect for the day. I was surprised when she said they had prepared lunch for me. When I say they prepared a lunch, I don't mean crackers and cheese on a plate with grapes, which is always lovely. What I mean is they grilled delicious meats, prepared potatoes, as well as a fresh cucumber and tomato salad! They sat with me at the picnic table and we got to know each other a bit while we ate. Jess decided which horse she thought would be best for me. I got Gorgeous George. She chose wisely. All of their horses are gorgeous. They look so healthy and vibrant! David and Jess believe in the importance of the horse and rider getting familiar with each other. To do so, you have to spend some intimate time with each other. I was shown how to brush the horse (for different reasons and with different brushes); how to clean the horses hooves; and how to walk the horse. To be clear, I was shown how to do these things and then did these things. Then I got to ride the horse in the ring. By the time I got to the ring, I was so much more relaxed with George than I was when I first met him. David determined that I was ready to hit the short trail, so the 3 of us rode off. They both determined I was ready for the longer, more challenging trail. What a challenging, but fantastic rest of the day! We had a 2 hour adventurous ride through the trails and waters. I'm not an overly experienced rider. I've only done trail rides, and only started doing those as an adult. I've done those trail rides in NH, TX, AZ, etc. This was like no trail ride I've ever done. The scenery is great, the instruction is great, and the people are great. They love their horses, and care about their riders having a unique, safe, and beautiful day. I cannot wait to return!

Martin family ranch has had my $3000 payment since June 2025. If you look at their website the…read morefirst thing that NOW comes up is all about their cancellation policy and how fully booked they are. Not exactly a welcoming home page. I have filed a small claims case with Martin Family Ranch LLC as David Martin claims he isnt responsible for not refunding my money. My husband was hospitalized for a week in August 2025. and upon leaving the hospital there was no way he was going to be able to ride a horse. When I tried rebooking in February 2026 for this summer, the ranch was fully booked. Wouldn't a smart business try to work with someone's money they have already taken for a year. The big red flag was when his wife Jessica posted they were selling Martin's Ranch. It all smells funny, and if you look up their business ID in New Hampshire, the company is not in good standing. I would be very weary of any of these great reviews as they were four years old.

The most beautiful farm in NH/MA! Upon arrival, you will be greeted by the most lovely farm…read moreanimals. Calves, goats, pigs, chickens, and so much more. I have been coming here for a few months. Mr Wayne, the owner, is super friendly and helpful. He works diligently to maintain the farm and makes good recommendations. Paradise farm carries a large variety of products including grass-fed beef, pasture-raised pork, free-range chicken and duck. They also have pastured chicken, duck and turkey eggs. The animals here are sustainably and humanely raised. They carry raw Nubian goat milk. Goat milk is closest to breastmilk for it contains exclusively A2 protein. The type of milk that most people drink comes from holstein cows which produce A1 milk. A1 protein is not ideal for human consumption. On the other hand, goat milk is an A2 milk just like human milk. You can pick your own berries, peaches and apples here seasonally. The farm is open year around by appointment. Make sure you give Mr Wayne a call at (603) 345-0860 before coming in.

Alpacas shearing happened already (spring) so if you want to see them with full fur, staff told us to return in Nov. They are still cute :) Tour runs 45 mins long and we get to feed and pet them. I am so bad with names but I know one is called Summer. Two pregnant mamas and one baby on the ranch! On the way out, please put a donation in the jar or make a purchase at the store. Plenty of cute socks, sweater, etc. Please note that you will smell alpaca spit (or musty odor) when you enter the shop/ranch and even after you depart. Don't wear fancy clothes.

Definitely a must visit if you're in the area. They do free 1 hour long tours, but donations are welcome. Make sure to make a reservation so they know you're coming.

PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU GO HERE!! 0 STARS…read more Months back I had a meeting with Alice about a short-term marketing job for her current horses with another newly hired girl. During the "interview" I spent the majority of the time sitting uncomfortably in silence while Alice ranted on and on about how INCREDIBLY happy she was that I am not ugly or overweight. Odd, right? Fast forward, the new hire and I are aimlessly walking around the barn alone with no idea what to do. We quickly noticed the horses had NO HAY, NO WATER, NO BEDDING, and were tacked up from open to close. The girths remained tightly secured the entirety of the day. Almost every horse had several burs stuck in their manes, tails, and forelocks. It appeared they had not been groomed in WEEKS. During the short time of handling these poor horses, Nicole and I noticed they were all broken down in some way. 100% were lame. 100% had ribs showing too much. 100% were so obviously unhappy. Aside from the horses, Dennis was extremely creepy. He would slowly follow us around the barn in his car without saying a word. He even threw his cigarette at Nicole. He would tell us to do something, leave, come back, and then ask why the f**k we were doing what he told us to do. I met the ONE employee they have and needless to say, he was more than willing to dive into how shitty the owners are without me asking. It was also apparent that he abuses the horses and is NOT a horse person. Additionally, Alice and Dennis were more than willing to dive into how "dumb and slow" their only employee is without me asking. I left crying because I felt so horrible for those poor animals. Do not buy from here, do not take pony rides from here, do not take trails from here, do not send your horse here, do not do not DO NOT! Nicole contacted me a day or two later explaining how she confronted Alice about the quality of her horses. Unsurprisingly, Alice responded very aggressively. To the people considering doing business here: DO NOT. Alice and Dennis do not care about their horses in any way, shape, or form. They will deceive you into think these horses are happy and able to work. This place should be shut down. I have 2 equine related college degrees. I CANNOT make this shit up. This place is disgusting.
