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.

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.

*I believe North Woods Rafting is a part of Mahoosuc Outdoors, so essentially the same company*…read more We booked a rafting trip for a group of 8 guys on a Bachelor'd party trip, having had booked an airbnb for the weekend nearby. From start to finish, working with these guys was awesome. We actually went on maybe the 2nd to last day of the season, so our tour guides were extra jovial and enthusiastic in ending the season on a high note. Our boat had Bailey while the other guys had Kenny - both hilariously animated guys. We originally thought we'd be able to wake up for the early morning river run, but glad we booked the 2nd one due to having a late and debaucherous night before. The early afternoon was pretty windy so we were worried about freezing waters, but actually the sun came out and warmed us up pretty nice. All the equipment was very modern and new, and the rafts themselves were in great shape. Basically you draft down the river twice, with the second time full of more instances where you're begging to be tossed into the water. The last peaceful stretch was actually a great time for everyone to jump out of the rafts and peacefully wade in the water. There was an included photographer who got some awesome shots, although most of the time I had no idea where or when they were shooting and came up with great candids. The food afterwards was pretty great. You get a choice of protein - I highly recommend the salmon. They also have a bar type setup you can partake in. Overall, I highly recommend this adventure company. It provides a very homey feel and care to give you an awesome experience that is authentic to their roots and passion.

We stopped by the next morning to schedule our ride for later in the day - no one was at the office. We came back a little later in the morning to be greeted by a rude woman that seemed like she just really didn't want to deal with us. We scheduled our ride for 2 hours later and asked her if she could recommend a good place close by and her response was there are things just down the street in downtown. When we got back the horses weren't ready for us yet and they didn't acknowledge us. This was my first time riding and they didn't tell me anything at first. They just had me get on and wait. I was nervous just about getting on. The trail is really boring with not much to see. You go up the mountain and then back down ... it was pretty rough on the way up and down on the trails so you couldn't even enjoy it. And going up the mountain that was steep at times for a first time person they didn't really give me much instruction. It came to a point where she had to tie my horse to hers and made it well known she wasn't happy about this. This should've been a great experience seeing as it was just my fiance and me but it was terrible. For $100 for the two of us I expected more.
