My wife and I took weekly riding lessons at Red Buffalo through Spring and Summer of 2025 to…read moreprepare for a vacation in Montana. Crystal and her team are top-notch professionals. Most of our private lessons were with Ally, whose knowledge far exceeds her years. I had zero prior experience, and my wife took lessons as a teen. But neither of us would've been prepared to enjoy riding in Montana without the professional guidance (in the ring and eventually on the trail) we received at Red Buffalo. When managing dozens of animals, along with customers of varying skill levels, there are bound to be occasional hiccups, so you need to approach it with that in mind. But I've watched many times as the Red Buffalo staff got mixed groups of adults and/or children situated on their horses and out for their trail-rides in a safe and organized manner. All the animals appear healthy and cared-for, and the staff are all friendly and professional. I would recommend Red Buffalo to anyone in the Montgomery County area looking for a fun and safe horseback riding experience.

It's more a riding philosophy than a "lesson" because it changes the way you think about riding.

Open Meadows Farm is a horseback riding facility on a historic property set in the bucolic…read more country near Skippack, Pa. They also run a Horseback Riding Summer Camp for children and most recently have been hosting children's birthday parties. We recently planned and attended a wonderful party there and were delighted with the results. The "Dragon" themed party was planned for a 6 year old with guests ranging in age from 4-6. Five was the perfect number for this party but the Farm allows up to 10 guests for two hours. The ponies were adorned with their "unicorn" costumes to the delight of the riders. Each pony was accompanied by 2 experienced handlers. Every child was required to have a parental waiver signed and were provided with a helmet for safety. I have never seen so many smiling faces before. Two ponies allowed for multiple rides by each child and that was something they really loved. Short wait time! The next activity was a wagon ride full of real hay around the beautiful and historic farm founded in 1774. Adults and children alike enjoyed communing with nature and enjoying the beauty of the day. Kids love throwing hay at each other and reaching high for overhanging branches. We moved onto the Fairy Garden where dazzling little fairies had been hidden in the trees, just waiting for discovery by the little party guests. I counted at least 22...there could have been more. For a small fee each child was able to "find" a special magic stone that had been hidden just for them. We had to drag them away from the Fairy Garden..they really loved it. On to the rustic barn which had been festively decorated with tiny twinkle light. We brought our own decorations, paper products and balloons and set things up before the guests arrived. A burlap covered table for the guests reinforced the farm atmosphere and an extra table was set up to hold the ice cream cake, cookies, snacks and drinks. An old wooden wheelbarrow was draped to provide a spot for the gifts. It was a great party and I cant wait to go again with another group. The Fischer family made it an absolutely perfect day for the children and I highly recommend it for anyone looking for an alternative to video games and bouncy houses!!

I like that they match you with your horse according to your skill level, weight and height, days before you arrive. Everything was organized so we could get the most out of our horseback riding experience. The prices for an hour long ride were very affordable. If you're funny about helmets bring a scarf to wrap your hair. We rode down through a clearing into the water, up and down long scenic fall leaf-covered hills. The instructors took a group shot of us for a nice keepsake. I highly recommend Sheeder Mill Farms for groups of all skill levels.

Caroline's husband, Bill, and daughter, Jane, help with barn operations, feeding and caring for the horses and menagerie of dogs on-site while expertly matching horses with riders of all ages and levels. The barn is beautiful but not fussy. The horses are friendly, well-mannered, and well-loved, and the lessons are safe and fun. My lesson groups have changed as I've aged, but I'm constantly challenged and enthralled with my weekly riding lesson at Ashford Farm.
