A small group of us went here for one hour trail riding. Truly enjoyed my time here as it's not…read moresomething we can do everyday. The GPS actually took us to the wrong ranch at first. It's NOT the first ranch on the left on Burnhamthorpe w/ the two GSDs! One more over or till u see the green roof barns. We were greeted by two friendly dogs who led us to the back (how cute is that? seriously?). We paid the fee ($40 cash or $42+HST) & signed a waiver (naturally) and they had a demo on riding. Helmet rental was free (mandatory for children & recommended for adults). However, due to the light rain that day, a few helmets were wet...on the inside. Or is that sweat? hmm.... The trail was definitely scenic and quite spacious. It was truly beautiful! It is probably so amazing here around the fall. They also offer lessons, boarding, hay/sleigh rides. Great for groups and parties. The horses were all quite gentle. Anyhow, we were warned they are like high school kids and have their own little clique. The more dominant horses wouldn't like if others were ahead of them in the trial ride line. So we had to watch out for that. How cute! Just like my dog lol What I liked about the one hour trail ride was... we got to jog at least 3 times (aftermath: a sore bum but it was fun!). I've been to another ranch where they only let you jog once & trails were mostly in a tight forest...but not so much for this one. Lots of fields. A bit of everything... and of course lots of horse sh*t. Massive... lol We were allowed to look at the horses in the stables as well. Some flies in there but that is expected. We had a bit of rain so they went away after a while. There were prob around 20 horses there. They seemed happy & healthy. Lots of different sizes. Love them all esp my horse :D I miss my Lucy! She was prob one of the bigger horses. Not sure why I was paired w/ her as I was nearly doing the splits while climing down (thank god for yoga!). But I LOVE Lucy & happy they put me with her anyway. Can't wait to come back again!

For $80+ hst, they teach you how to steer your horse and then you have the horse hike along a path…read morethat is mostly tree covered with bushes and grass to the side. The horses essentially follow each other. You get to hold the reins and play cowboy for about 35 mins. Overall it's a ride on a horse along a path, not much else. If you are scared of horses or just want the experience i'd say try it out but tbh there is sooooo much more you can do with $80 with an hour imo.

Amanda's knowledge is unsurpassed and the proof as they say, is in the pudding... or customized feed program! My old fella just celebrated his 30th birthday and he is still happily teaching youngsters the joys of riding and competing. It is Amanda's attention to detail that keeps him fit and healthy. My horse falls on the low end of the pecking order in any herd and I credit Amanda's ability to put the right mix of horses together in order to ensure each group is compatible and happy. Not every boarding facility is willing to take the time needed to make sure the dynamics between horses is considered and adjusted for. I'm almost 64 and in need of a couple of new knees. I don't know how many more years of riding either my horse or I have in us, but how ever many years we have will happily be spent in the capable and caring hands of Amanda and staff at Run 2 You Stables!
