Changing Gaits offers equine therapy, horseback riding, and horseback riding for groups. They have…read morearound 38 horses on site. I absolutely enjoy my time here it is like heaven. I have never found a place like this before. It is so hard to find a place to go horseback riding that I am willing to drive 2 hours to go here. They have beautiful trails on 40 plus acres and a pond. It's great for kids, adults, couples, groups, and people with disabilities. They accommodate people who are in wheelchairs. Please check them out! Parking is right next to the barn. Again, you will never find a place like this anywhere!!! I have tried and I haven't found a place like this in southern Minnesota.

My friend wanted to go horseback riding for her birthday, so we found this place and decided to go!…read moreThe path that you take is scenic! You get to know about the horse you're riding, and they give you a horse that's compatible with your riding experience. The only downside of our entire experience here was that it was a bit difficult to book. When we called, we were constantly redirected to call back again. But we got it figured out and everything went fine.

We made a reservation for a Sunday at 10am (when they open) in late October. They said the…read more12'oclock shift was full, so make sure to call ahead and make reservations. You can't call too far ahead though, because the riding is dependent on the weather. The trails that you ride through are muddy and can get flooded as well. Also, you are in the woods for 1-2hrs so dress for the weather. That includes bug spray or sunscreen if needed. I'd recommend going in the fall to avoid those things! Beautiful scenery, no bugs, and no overheating! They also mention to wear pants and closed toed shoes. There were a total of four of us and then the guide for the two hour trail ride. Keep in mind, there is no way to hear the guide up front unless you are right behind them but that was no big deal. We enjoyed the beautiful scenery along the river. They asked level of experience and picked the horses for us. If you aren't flexible, you'll have a hard time mounting the horse. I'm surprised they don't provide a stool for this.I watched this poor lady struggle to get on the horse and the worker had to help her up. Our legs were sore afterwards so I could see an hour being enough for young kiddos. Our horses were well behaved. Mine was sassy and I liked seeing that personality. Overall, a great experience!

My daughter has been taking lessons at Windfall Equestrian Center since 2020. Jennifer Coleman and…read moreher team are fantastic. We originally thought my daughter wanted to do dressage but when she changed her mind and wanted to switch to jumping our trainer Madison switched the training up instantly. Now my daughter trains every week with Madison and Boomer. Hopefully they'll start showing soon! The staff is extremely knowledgeable and helpful. They even have Equine Therapy available too! It's a great group of people with passion and knowledge they want to share.

We had a really disappointing experience with Windfall Equestrian. My family visited to see a horse…read moreand that same day, we made it clear that we wanted to move forward with purchasing him and would pay in cash pending the vet's clearance. We were simply waiting on final feedback from the vet and felt confident about the next steps. However, we were later told that the horse had been shown to another interested party who ended up placing a deposit. At no point during our visit or follow-up were we informed that a deposit was required to secure him. We absolutely would have placed a deposit immediately if that had been communicated. We were told an email had been sent, but it was missed during a busy workday. Given how time-sensitive these situations are, a quick phone call would have made all the difference--especially since we were only contacted by phone after the horse was no longer available.  Overall, the lack of clear and timely communication was extremely frustrating and left us heartbroken. We hope this feedback encourages better communication practices in the future so other families don't have a similar experience.
