New Moon Ranch (NMR) is a very special place! I came to NMR over a year ago upon the recommendation…read moreof a friend who had been riding and taking instruction from Lotta. It was a life long dream of mine to learn how to horseback ride but for many years it was something that I never thought that I could do. After a conversation with Lotta followed by my first lesson, I began a path on the most rewarding endeavor. Lotta helped me to address any reservations and fears that I had right from the beginning. I appreciate Lotta's instruction because she helps me as the rider understand the horse's perspective and how to build a foundation of trust. Lotta has a gift for teaching. She is emphatic, has a great sense of humor, and also knows when a rider needs to be challenged to break through to the next level. As a beginning adult rider, NMR has offered me a place to examine and grow my self-confidence, communication, and leadership skills through the horse and rider relationship. More than a year later, I am still so excited about this new found passion of horseback riding and always enjoy my time there! I must also mention that NMR is located in the most beautiful setting that offers beautiful trails and a ring situated in a scenic valley alongside the Huntington River. Lotta and the rest of the NMR crew (Hollister and Clara) are always welcoming, kind, and together offer a wealth of knowledge. If you are looking for a down-to-earth and beautiful place to ride, definitely check out New Moon Ranch.

The staff is super friendly and take care of all of the horses! We had a private ride that felt longer than an hour- felt like we were getting lost in the woods and fields! They took beautiful pictures of us in the yellow fields and it was perfect. Honestly one of the best rides I've ever been on with an amazing trainer, Stacey/s name I'm so sorry! All the trainers are amazing and the owner is fabulous! Hope you get to check out this amazing place to spend time in nature on horseback!

They had a lot of flexibility in when we could go. We went around 10:30am on a Sunday. It was just the two of us and our guide, who was so sweet. My boyfriend had never been on a horse and was a bit nervous at first, but all of the horses are so gentle and sweet. We spent about an hour on the trails. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to do something fun in the region.

I am a beginner and was riding with my daughter who has taken lessons. We were invited to arrive early and groom the horses which was so nice. The ride was mostly on dirt roads which ended up being great because we had the freedom to ride next to each other. The occasional cars on the road were so respectful. We even got to trot (tolt) which was an exhilarating experience for me, fastest I've ever gone on a horse!
