It was hot and humid but the ride was mostly in shade. The horses were very well behaved, and my daughter absolutely loved it. Her horse was well behaved and gave no issues. My wife's horse kept eating (much like me), but still was gentle and easy going. This place is great for beginners as the horses are well behaved. You take a 15 minute tutorial in how to ride then off you go.

M&S has changed not only my horse's life, but my own. When I brought him here he was underweight,…read morenasty, and full of ailments. Michele's careful and personalized attention has brought my guy health and happiness. Having constant turnout in giant pastures with other horses, as well as unlimited hay and ample grain has made him perfectly plump and healthy. Her thoughtful, kind, and strategic approach to training my ottb has made him more than happy to work and given him the balance and confidence to do things I once thought impossible. But the biggest thing more me is her patience with me. I was scared of my horse that I didn't understand. Michele has taught me how to better horse owner, horse listener, and given my boy and I confidence and trust in each other. Finally, with her network of top-notch professionals (farrier, vet, etc.) my guy is...dare I say...an easy keep?! I couldn't live this place more. When I was forced to move to a few years after coming here, I chose to keep my guy here and visit monthly. It breaks my heart being away from him but I can't imagine taking him away from the family, comfort, and trustworthiness of M&S.

Just did the two-hour ride today. Awesome experience. We have made several trips to Gettysburg or…read morethe years and have taken several tours. If you haven't done a horseback tour this is the place to go. They are awesome and have very well cared for and beautiful horses. Our guide, Mr Less, was very knowledgeable and fun to listen to. Bottom line.....If you want a great experience with some education and a heaping serving of fun - THIS IS IT!!!

Went out this afternoon. Great trip! The guide was great, made the whole ride into a story!…read moreBeautiful ride through the battlefields. If I could change anything, the rear trail guide was a little dramatic and was not happy with Levi the horse. Each time she yelled out, I would get lost in the story and would loose at least 5 minutes trying to catch up. May have just been she was having an off day, so I think only fair to rate how I felt overall about the ride.

I can't say enough good things about King's View Acres and Ellen the owner/instructor. My child has…read morelearned so much in the +9 months she's been riding with Ellen who's an excellent Dressage instructor, and an amazing horse owner. At King's View Acres the focus isn't just on riding, in addition to that, Ellen teaches kids how to properly take care of their horse inside and out. The stables are always clean, and the horses are clearly happy/healthy. Overall this has been a great experience for my child, she's more confident and eager to tackle challenges. Location is great and the area schools support drop offs which is super convenient and a time saver.

Their hospitality leading up to the ride was fantastic, the weather was a bit 'iffy' so we ended up pushing back to later in the afternoon. It was still a bit cold and overcast when we arrived and we ended up being the only couple to join them. Blankets were in the carriage waiting for us and we were greeted as soon as we pulled up, the ride was enjoyable and informative... we learned about the farm and a bit about the battle, both Bill and Bonnie were super friendly and it was a pleasure to meet them! After the ride was over we had the opportunity to go back to the barn and meet all the horses. We learned more about each of them and got to feed them carrots, absolutely worth the price and a ride we would definitely do again, hopefully under better weather next time!

Plenty of beautiful horses, a petting area, a tree house & a park. We reserved time for the pony ride and petting zoo but it felt like we were rushed through our experience. The women who helped us immediately seemed frustrated because they overbooked 2 large parties along with our reservation, her vibe didn't feel welcoming because of their lack of organization. My kids did the pony ride literally 2 rounds (they wanted to keep going) then they had about 10 minutes in the petting zoo. That costs me around $60 & they do not take credit cards.
