We just had the best horseback trail riding experience. Melisa and her all ladies crew are amazing. Melisa was very courteous and pleasant to talk too. In a few minutes she set us up, a family of 4+1, for a custom horse ride experience within the same day. I say 4+1 because our two year old was to little to ride. However, Melissa offered to give him a ride and keep him close to the horse riding group in her four-wheeler Kubota. She took pictures of us riding the horses, which she will send us, and she allowed the kids to treat the horses with apples and carrots that we brought ourselves for them. A great, unforgettable family experience. It was all worth it, and we will definitely do it again. We will also recommend to all family and friends. Thank you very much Melissa and the crew! read more

What an experience! We stayed with Melissa for 3 nights and did two trail rides and some work in the round pen. The horses are beautifully cared for and reliable trail companions. There are 4 lovely dogs and 9 cats that will warm your lap in the evening. Melissa fed us very well and we just had an amazing time sharing meals with everyone and watching TV together at night. Charlie and Melissa really make you feel like you're part of the family. If you miss your childhood summer camp vibes this comes very close (with the option to drink wine on the deck by the stream at night). We also appreciated the ability to learn how to care for horses and help in preparing them for our trail rides. This experience is about much more than trail riding and we were truly delighted. read more

A warm thank you from Pap & Lilyan. This side of Heaven was found on Morgan road. Melissa is a woman of great determination with a very caring heart, I could have spent hours talking with her. Noone could deny her love for what she does. The care she takes with her animals, and those of others, is truly evident. Special thanks to Vivian, what an Angel, may she receive all the blessings she rightfully deserves. Thank you Ladies, We will be returning soon. read more

While she had most of these traits built in, Braveheart was a strong factor in her starting out right (well almost starting out, we was found roaming in Fairfax Virginia before we recused her, she was put into training at about 1 year old). She adored the Braveheart team. She was happier and better behaved after training. And, didn't even mind when we had to kennel her twice after that training. The team built very kind kennels (heated and cooled) with each stall having access to outside. They walked her several times a day. And, whenever you went there, you would see them working with one or more dogs. All the dogs looked very well treated and happy. While today is a sad day for Me and my Wife, I am truly thankful for Braveheart Kennels and the impact on our best friend, Chloe Thank you Braveheart, Bruce

Wow!!! Wow!! Wow!!! What an absolutely outstanding adventure my kids and I had at Walking-After Midnight Farm last month We truly had an unforgettable experience!! Our best trail ride EVER and we have done them all over the country!! It was a day full of fun and excitement! Absolute joy for a horse lover or just an outdoor enthusiast or parents looking to have a special day with their kids. Melissa, the owner, will personalize your ride and your overall experience and she is genuinely committed and motivated to make sure you are happy and satisfied. She is so awesome!!! Melissa has calm horses and frisky horse or two also and you can select a horse that best fits your style or abilities. She uses Tennessee Walkers and they are absolutely perfect for the trails. They're all fun and sure-footed and completely safe to ride! No worries there. And Melissa doesn't offer your typical nose to butt trail ride that most establishments offer. Her rides are pretty unique, just like her Tennessee Walkers. There are places where you can ride side by side on the trail, which I loved. I usually only get to look at the backs of my wife's and kids' heads when we trail ride. It was super to ride along side them and actually share conversation and enjoyment. Melissa will even let you run the horses if you are experienced and would like to do that. However, my favorite part of the ride was walking the horses through the river. That was awesome!!!! That was a thrill for us and a thrill for the horses too! Really!!! It was so cool to see how much the horses loved playing in the water. They were so obviously happy and having fun!! I had never seen that before! They were like little children with a new toy!! You'll love the farm, enjoy your ride, get attached to your horse, and have just an all-around memorable day at Walking After Midnight. Take the time to get to know Melissa and her history with Tennessee Walkers too! Fascinating stuff! PS- I have posted dozens of reviews on Tripadvisor but I am new to Yelp! I'm delighted to get started here offering such positive comments to Yelp members! I hope I can figure out how to upload some pictures of our adventure after I post this review. I can't find that option yet. read more

If you love horses and an avid rider, or if you are a novice and would like to learn about horses, this is the place. This is not a stable with horses that will be strung along "nose to tail" in a trail walk only to take your money. This is an amazing place to ride or learn to ride in an enchanted forest atop a picturesque mountain. Your happiness and the horse's happiness are of the utmost priority at Bailey's Walking-After-Midnight Farm. All here are highly skilled at horsemanship and have generations of experience. We have traveled much and have ridden with many, but by far, Bailey's is without question, the best of what a horse and rider can experience, no matter the skill level. read more

So thankful for Melissa and how thoughtful she is about matching horse with a rider. And how committed she is to staying in touch and ensuring that you continue to be a good pairing. She gets top-notch horses and puts the work into them to be sure they have the training needed to be excellent Trail partners. And she's always willing to help along the way with guidance and advice and support. I really don't think there's anybody else like her in the horse sales world. I've not only gotten a horse from her but I know multiple people who have is well who are equally happy and continue to be friends with her. That says an awful lot. Can't recommend her or her horses more highly. read more

My friends and I were there last weekend and had a blast. We are all experienced horsewomen and I was checking out one of the horses for sale. Melissa and crew hauled us to some nearby trails where we were really able to test ride the horse (I won't mention his name because I'm still interested) If you're looking for a great trail ride and want to learn more about horses, you can't beat Walking After Midnight If you're interested in a new trail partner this is a great place to shop read more

We had an amazing time riding horses at the farm. They took the time to explain some of the nuances of bonding and controlling the horses, and made sure to match each rider with an appropriate horse. The guide was very helpful, friendly, and encouraging. Afterwards, we were invited in for delicious hot coco, and some great tales about the farm. I can not recommend a better way to spend an afternoon! read more
