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.

We hosted my daughter's 8th birthday party at Sweet Meadow Farm after reading about how amazing…read moretheir birthday parties were and we were absolutely blown away by our experience. From the ease of the booking process to the day-of execution, the entire process was 10 stars. Hannah and her team went above and beyond (which I now understand is their standard MO.) They effortlessly managed all of our decor, seemlessly and joyfully wrangled 12+ children (and twice as many extremely excited adults.) The experience was educational and extremely interactive (We decorated mini horses! We held/pet so many incredible animals! The kids rode unicorns!) Even the coloring pages had our daughter's name printed on them. There was not one aspect of the day that felt like an after thought. The attention to detail and the care they show is so amazing. I really can't thank Hannah and her crew enough for hosting (far and away) the best birthday party my daughter has ever had. Core memories were made by all of us.

Went to their winter lights event with my two small children. Wildly over priced, the teenagers…read morerunning the place are appallingly rude, they randomly decided to close early and start turning lights off. We had to fight to use the train ride that we paid for since they refused to refund us. No one could tell us where the animals were that we had gotten feed for. The entire thing was confusing and disappointing and every single encounter we had with staff was aggressively rude. This was absolutely not a family friendly experience. We were charged over $90 for 20min of wandering around the property confused and insulted by the teenagers working there. After a full blown confrontation we were refunded $18 because they decided to close early without warning. Their response to us was that we were welcome to let our kids play in the dark for the remainder of the time we paid for if we wanted. Still can't believe the attitude the staff felt entitled to give paying customers just there to have fun with their toddlers. We will happily never be returning.

I have known Tami, for over 25 years. I have leased horses off of her, boarded horses and taken…read morelessons from her. She is extremely knowledgable, and so is her staff. 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.

While the horses were being prepared for our ride, I heard one scream. The men nearby looked…read morenervously in my direction. I couldn't see what happened, but the sound and their reaction were very unsettling. A woman came out of the barn and turned out to be our trail guide. The man who first attended to us was kind and friendly, but he explained that she would be leading the ride. Unfortunately, she was not welcoming at all. She seemed upset, impatient, and aggressive from the start. I felt intimidated approaching her, and she made my friend nervous as well. When she told us to line up by the fence, her instructions were unclear, which caused confusion. My friend ended up going the wrong way, and I had to go find her. When we finally lined up, the guide was visibly annoyed. The whole interaction felt tense. During the ride, she smoked the entire time while on the horse, which I have never experienced before on any trail ride. She barely spoke to us, and there was no effort to provide any kind of tour, history, or friendly conversation--something I've come to expect from these experiences. Instead, she would occasionally yell things like "Isn't this relaxing?" or "Aren't you having fun?" while continuing to shout at us if we were too slow. She repeatedly told me to kick my horse to make him go faster. I've ridden before, and it was clear this horse was very tired and possibly overworked. When I expressed that I felt bad, she became visibly angry, stopped, and insisted I kick him anyway, comparing the horse to a car needing gas. I felt pressured and uncomfortable, but the horse was too exhausted to respond regardless. I chose to let the horse move at his own pace. We paid $50 each for this ride, and if the horse is tired, I'm not going to force it. The ride itself lasted less than an hour, so there was no reason for the level of frustration she displayed. Overall, the experience left me feeling uneasy, tense, and stressed rather than relaxed. There was something very off about the entire situation. I would not return.

Absolutely Horrible Experience - Please Read Before Visiting…read moreI visited this place a couple of days ago to inquire about horseback riding options for my son, who has a disability. I wanted to see if he would feel comfortable around the horses and get a general sense of the environment. Unfortunately, what was supposed to be a peaceful visit turned into an incredibly traumatic experience. As we were walking around the property, a dog from the facility suddenly came out and viciously attacked our tiny, 4-pound, 12-year-old dog. I had to physically pull my dog away while she was bleeding heavily, and to make matters worse, no staff were around to help us. I was terrified and overwhelmed, trying to keep my son safe by telling him to get in the car while I tried to distract the attacking dog. The dog even attempted to go after me, and I had to use my dog's leash to fend it off. Once the dog ran off, I came out of the car in desperation, hoping to find someone, anyone, who could assist. A woman finally approached me, but instead of helping, she was rude and dismissive. She told me dogs aren't allowed on the property (which was never made clear before) and coldly said she wouldn't be paying for any vet bills. I tried explaining that we were simply there to get information and had no idea something like this could happen, but she had no empathy or concern. I later spoke to a man who said he worked there. I showed him my dog, who was still bleeding badly, and he shrugged it off, saying she'd be fine and wouldn't need anything. I was completely shocked by the lack of care and professionalism. I rushed my dog to the emergency vet, where she needed over 10 stitches and a drain to manage the bleeding. The entire experience was horrifying, not just because of the attack, but because of how the staff handled the situation. No apology, no assistance, no compassion. I'm still shaken by what happened and heartbroken over how poorly we were treated. I went there seeking a safe place for my son, and left traumatized, with a severely injured pet and absolutely no support from the people in charge. I strongly do not recommend this place. They are unprofessional, irresponsible, and completely unprepared to handle emergencies. It's incredibly disheartening to know that this is how they treat potential customers. Please think twice before supporting a business that operates this way.

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.
