Amanda's knowledge is unsurpassed and the proof as they say, is in the pudding... or customized feed program! My old fella just celebrated his 30th birthday and he is still happily teaching youngsters the joys of riding and competing. It is Amanda's attention to detail that keeps him fit and healthy. My horse falls on the low end of the pecking order in any herd and I credit Amanda's ability to put the right mix of horses together in order to ensure each group is compatible and happy. Not every boarding facility is willing to take the time needed to make sure the dynamics between horses is considered and adjusted for. I'm almost 64 and in need of a couple of new knees. I don't know how many more years of riding either my horse or I have in us, but how ever many years we have will happily be spent in the capable and caring hands of Amanda and staff at Run 2 You Stables!

The horses essentially follow each other. You get to hold the reins and play cowboy for about 35 mins. Overall it's a ride on a horse along a path, not much else. If you are scared of horses or just want the experience i'd say try it out but tbh there is sooooo much more you can do with $80 with an hour imo.

She has a young instructor who is nice but after many months my child had not learned any techniques (this was what the owner told us). A couple of the horses have temperament issues. In addition, you pay for an hour lesson and sometimes you barely get 30 minutes after tacking up. Then during lessons riders often sit not moving in the middle. They tack up in the stales which could go very wrong quickly.

Riders are responsible for grooming, tacking, and all of their equestrian friends needs. This isn't a basic barn that have the horses prepared and ready for you to go, if you want to be a rider, eqa will teach you how to be a rider. How to care for your horse at a ground and in saddle level. How to read horses cues and understand their body language and movement. This isn't just a "let's get you on the horse" type of barn. If you're not prepared to take care of your horse, and to ride and treat it in the proper manners that do not hurt or hold the horse back this isn't the barn for you. I can take pride in knowing that when I'm riding at eqa, I can use these skills and apply it in any other situation I could find myself in with horses. They've really helped me understand how to control a horse, and how much depth there is to riding.

What a great find…read more Texas Longhorn Ranch is just a few hours outside of Toronto and well worth the visit - whether you're looking for just a night away with someone, or looking for a larger group activity. The TLR used to be a summer camp and has been converted into a very unique Bed and Breakfast. You're greeted by the family that owns the place and their farmhands (everyone was so nice) and shown the grounds. Unlike most B&Bs, you actually have your own cabin (which is a converted covered wagon). Maybe not the best for noise cancellation, but luckily there's no one around for miles. The room was neat, modern, and comfortable. A heater is provided incase it gets cool at night, and if you're lucky enough to get some night time drizzle, you'll fall asleep to the sound of dancing raindrops above you. There is a fire pit with each wagon (which they start for you, city slicker), and each morning you wake to find a fresh pot of coffee outside ready to go. There's also a large field (wouldn't want to mow it) for playing catch or whatever it is people do in large fields. They have quite a nice size pool and lounge chairs which during those hot Ontario summers will come in handy. The meals that were provided were awesome; great value and delicious. Totally homestyle. We had roast beef, fresh and local vegetables, strawberry shortcake, grilled potatoes, salad (it was enough for 6 people...there were 2 of us). It was so good (and $30 per person was the best deal i've seen for a meal of this quality/quantity). The horseback riding was what initially drew me here - and as a novice was happy to find that although am I a not horse-whisperer, the very capable hands of our trail-leader basically was. We had a about a 2 hour enjoyable ride through the woods, visited some neighbouring horses (which started galloping over to meet us....amazing), saw lots of deer, and enjoyed nature. The next morning it was time to leave and I remembered I didn't have that much gas (it's sort of the middle of no-where and probably 20 minutes to the closes gaz bar)...the Texas Longhorn Ranch came out and gave me a good 10L for free. Because they're that nice. I can't wait to go back. Best B&B/ local vacation I've had....and it won't break the bank. 5 out of 5 neighs. NEIGHNEIGHNEIGHNEIGHNEIGH!
