I currently board my 30 year old gelding with her. I have him on full board, and he couldn't get better care, she treats him as if he were her own. There is a heated tack room, with cable TV and a REAL bathroom. It's hard to find barns with those around here. The barn itself offers box stalls, and is in fantastic condition. There are also a few in/out stalls available. The outside is beautifully maintained. The horses all have decent sized individual paddocks, with water spouts and protection from the elements in each one. There is an outside wash stall, a large outside arena with excellent lighting. A newly renovated and large round pen. They offer full board, semi rough, and rough board. All at extremely reasonable prices. They offer clinics, cow sorting and fun shows on property, and travel to all sorts of area shows. I can't say it enough. My horse and I absolutely love it here.

Words getting around, it's becoming a popular destination... I've been here twice this month just…read morefor birthday parties... and what fun it was! Pony parties are a great activity.. the package usually allocates 2hrs for the party, 1hr for the horse ride (unlimited kids and unlimited rides) in an indoor arena and 1hr for food,cake and presents... it's about $200 for 3 horses & $25 for additional horses. The rooms are equipped with a refrigerator, table& chairs all you need to bring are decorations cake and pizza... that make it easy-peasy! The stables are well maintained and clean...Additionally, they also provide horse boarding, summer camps ($250 a week), and riding lessons. I was there while they had lessons and I thought they provided really good attention to the rider... I think summer camps would be a gr8 way to start off for my tot and see if it evolves into something more.

As soon as they arrived to the facility, my mare was placed in the stall, and was offered hay and water. I forgot to pay Dan, and he never asked about it! I felt so bad, but I did follow up with paying them nearly a month later!!! They were so kind and gracious and I was eternally grateful for their patience and kindness. I highly recommend this farm for boarding and training horses of all disciplines and levels. The facility is gorgeous, clean and filled with people of all levels and disciplines, and the owners are readily available to help anyone at nearly any time. We are very lucky to have such a great facility in the western MASS area.

I was introduced to Carin and Sugar Ridge Farm by a mutual friend about a year ago and have been…read moreriding ever since. I wanted a straight-forward, well-kept, non-commercial farm, and you not only get that with Sugar Ridge, but I have also found a family with these ladies and the horses there. The grounds are gorgeous, with plenty of room to ride and options to suit each skillset. It's been amazing to learn more about these gorgeous animals, and it does a world of good just being around them. You can also tell how well-taken care of the horses are just by how affectionate they are with Carin; she does an absolutely incredible job with them and it shows. She is also an amazing instructor, and I couldn't imagine being taught by anyone else. (Nor would I want to!) I highly recommend Sugar Ridge, whether you've never been on a horse or have a lifetime of experience, Carin's training ability and versatility is unparalleled.

Orchard Hill is a fabulous equestrian facility for horse owners and non owners alike. They are very professional and take excellent care of the horses. There is something for everyone and no pressure to take lessons or conform to anyone's style of riding. The people are great. Adults and kids alike. They have wonderful school horses and trainers and the property can't be beat for turnout, trails and jumping, etc. They have a fantastic summer camp which I always enjoyed being around to see children enjoying and learning all about horses. Please don't let any negative reviews influence your opinion of this farm. Give it a try. You won't be disappointed.
