    Had a great time! Plenty of parking. We had a guided tour and the day was perfect for it! We had a Groupon. My horse was George and my friend rose Fred. Beautiful horses. Definitely will be back to ride again. It was very relaxing

    Went for a trail ride with Ania and it was so amazing. Everyone at the stables is so friendly and the horses are the sweetest. Honestly the most therapeutic experience and I would do this every weekend!

    Learning about all the different riding components.

    I would just like to preface this review with - I know absolutely nothing about horseback riding. With that said, I learned a lot from my daughter's first riding lesson at Seaton Hackney Stables and it was absolutely wonderful! My daughter was given a 30 minute ride gift certificate for her 5th birthday and we finally got around to using it. She was a bit nervous and apprehensive leading up to the day, but once she got there she was so excited and the instructor really helped calm her nerves. Her instructor was amazing! Chrissy I believe. She was so patient with my daughter and taught her so many things about riding. She began by teaching her about the different riding components. She helped my daughter get on the pony (named Pumpkin) and led her out to where she was going to ride. During the riding lesson she taught her how to start the horse, steer the horse, the two-point position, trot, and how to stop the horse. My daughter was in her glory. She loves to learn new stuff, and add to that riding a horse?! It was perfect. Pumpkin was also the sweetest pony, very gentle, and just went with the flow. The half hour lesson was just long enough for my daughter, I think she would have been "too tired" after an hour. I also really enjoyed watching her ride from the bleachers. Thank you Seaton Hackney Stables for my daughter's first experience with riding a horse. It was perfect and she can't wait to come back and ride some more!

    I first learned about the Seaton Hackney Stables through corporate circles. Everyone that I encountered had positive things to report. Some liked the awray of experiences available for their children while others commented on the skilled personable instructors . The stables offer 1/2 hour and hourly lessons. You can request private, semi-private and group lessons in a variety of riding disciplines including: English, Dressage and Cross Country. They have over 30 horses on the premises so fitting a horse to the rider is a key advantage to having a good riding experience. Schedule in advance and arrive 15 minutes before you lesson or trail ride. Horses are fitted with their own saddles and ASTM helmets must be warned. They have helmets available if you do not have your own. Up on your arrival a waiver must be filled out. The horses are well taken care and trained. The barns are clean. Before your ride you are coached in the handling of the horse. You are taught to start, steer, the two point position, trot and stopping the horse. The trail ride is through woods, meadows along a creek path and meadows. The ride is about 1 hour long. I hope you enjoy your trail ride as much as I did.

    My friends and I went for a trail ride and had the best time. The horses were so well behaved and our tour guide was so sweet. We were able to walk around and see the other horses and meet some really cute goats who walk around too ! we will definitely be going back !!

    I went with my husband today to get a refresher training for horseback riding and we had such a great time! We arrived 30min early for our appt so we can check out the place. Once checked in, we signed our waivers, and was sent to retrieve a helmet from an outdoor shed. After our helmet selection, we then proceeded to a picnic table as advised where our instructor would come pick us up. However we waited 15 min past our appt because our horses were not ready yet. The wait didn't bother us as it was a beautiful day and we were admiring all the beautiful horses and all the kind hearted volunteers tending to the horses- grooming and washing mostly. we were assigned with Sydney for training, and she is a great instructor. Very patience and excellent communication. Perfect if is your first time riding. Our instructor also mentioned this stable has a separate session where one instructor would bring a group of people out for a scenic ride on horses. Now we look forward to our next visit for that scenic ride!

    Excellent place for my 12 year old son to get away from his devices. Great location next to a park for forest trips. One suggestion is a "score card" showing how a kid is doing so each new trainer and parents know the kid's experience level. Also pass on if a kid has adhd as horses respond to distractibility. Been going a year and love the place!

    Two friends and I decided to go horseback riding and we were looking for a stable in Northern NJ. While there were a few in the area, we chose Seaton Hackney and had a great time. When you call to set up your ride in advance, they prep you extremely well and set great expectations. It didn't feel commercial what so ever, and we always felt we were in great hands. Our instructor Jen was AWESOME, always making sure we were good but also empowering us to ride. Price was pretty decent for a group, less expensive than other stables in the area. The trail was pretty and actually public, so a bunch of people were so happy to see us. Every point of contact was very welcoming, and I will definitely be coming back here.

    my experience there was beautiful, although I don't agree with the organization. the owners of…read morethese horses , that are not necessarily rescued from abandonment or neglect situations, but use the money from trails to support monthly expenses. So they basically get away with letting the public pay to ride their horses. that's like saying how I can't afford to keep a horse so let me label it an organization/rescue that way public funds my hobby.

    I'm an experienced rider, have been riding and leasing horses since I was a kid, have worked in…read morebarns, have been a certified therapeutic riding instructor, and would not recommend this place because they don't conform to basic safety and horsemanship practices. I won't list all of them - just some highlights. My friend, who is not experienced, wanted to do this trail ride for our birthdays and we thought it would be fun. I've been on trail rides all over the world and know what to expect, and have never pulled out of a ride because I didn't feel safe until this place. I was the first person to be mounted and when the horse came out, I could see that the saddle was improperly placed too far back. I didn't say anything because it's not my place, but when I mounted, the girth was clearly too loose as the saddle started to slip. I told them that the girth was too loose and also that the saddle seemed to far back so Janet said let's reset the saddle and asked me how I would do it! She didn't seem to know the proper placement or how tight to make the girth because apparently this happened before. She then told me to walk down the lawn and let the horse graze while I waited for the rest of the group. It's not a safe practice to let horses graze while mounted, especially with beginners, but apparently that's what they do regularly. When the group was ready to leave, Janet started off on her horse and just about 30 yards from the barn, before even getting to the trail, the horse tripped and fell all the way down to the ground!! Janet fell off of course, and the horse walked off. If I had any doubt that all the red flags I'd clocked were right, this confirmed it. She was shaken up but ok, but didn't go on the ride, I don't know what was up with the horse but if a horse falls down just walking across a lawn, that raises questions about soundness and safety that are serious.

    When we started planning our wedding, we had a clear vision. We knew we had the ability to handle…read moremany details ourselves. Still, we made the decision to bring in an expert to elevate our ideas and bring them to life the right way. After attending a wedding expo, we felt overwhelmed. We interviewed several planners. From our first meeting, Stacey removed every fear we had. She listened carefully. She understood our vision. She gave us structure, direction, and confidence from day one. For a full year, Stacey and her team guided us through every step. She managed everything. From our stationery to the napkins. From the overall theme to the décor with the florist. She coordinated vendors, negotiated contracts, and kept every moving part aligned. Everything was handled in a timely fashion. Nothing was rushed. Nothing was late. Every detail landed exactly when it needed to. She saved us money. She saved us time. She eliminated stress. I am someone who likes control. It was hard for me to hand the reins over to someone else. But it was extremely liberating to watch an experienced professional take charge. I stopped worrying about logistics. I started enjoying the process. That shift changed everything for us. Our wedding was one week after Christmas. While most people were still in holiday mode, Stacey was in constant communication with vendors. She stayed ahead of issues we did not even know existed. She protected the timeline and kept everything moving. During wedding week, Stacey and her team went above and beyond. They showed up early. They followed through. They anticipated needs before anyone had to ask. On the wedding day, everything ran like a Swiss watch. The timing was precise. The transitions were seamless. We were able to stay present and enjoy every moment because Stacey was executing behind the scenes. We feel blessed to have had Stacey guide us through this journey. She became more than our planner. She became a true friend, and she will remain one. If you are feeling overwhelmed like we once did, trust Stacey. She has the experience, the network, and the leadership to deliver at the highest level. We wish Stacey and her team nothing but continued success. Love, Melissa & Duff

    Very disappointed with lack of communication,lack of details and professionalism…read more I attempted to rate this company in 2021, but Stacy deleted it, so hopefully this review will stick. We wasted thousands of dollars hiring Stacy. At first she was attentive towards my daughter, but as time went by she lost interest. The one time we really needed help with her dress, and she didn't return my call. In fact as the MOB she never acknowledged me the day of the wedding except when I asked to move the cards to a safer spot at reception in which she gave me an attitude. Don't expect her to be at the venue the morning of when the bride shows up or stay until the end. She shows up later to take a picture of rings etc with some fake flowers. ( not my daughters). Also, don't bother using the paper company next door. Little black dress. Hugh rip off. I sat at a table next to the owner, who never looked at me never mind acknowledge the person filling her bank account. Bottom line my daughter could have done all the planning herself. The planner at your venue is all you need. Don't waste your money .
