I had my first horseback riding experience here, and it was honestly better than I expected…read more I rode a horse named Preacher, and he was such a good boy. Super calm, gentle, and perfect if you're nervous or brand new to riding. I'd definitely recommend him for first-timers. My husband rode Kahlua. She was funny and entertaining; trying to eat everything that came across her path. Lol The guides were upbeat, informative, and kept everything running smoothly, which made me feel a lot more comfortable. You can tell they know what they're doing. All of the staff were friendly, patient, and really knowledgeable, which made the whole experience even better. I had a great time and can't wait to come back again!

Thanks to a Groupon deal, and a few phone calls back and forth with Christina here, I'm finally on my way to fulfill my dream, that is to change my career to full-time jousting. Christina is not only a professional herself, she also excel at training others on their way to be professionals, whether little girls learning to ride her first pony, or someone like me who bloom late in life and want to go out and experience it all. I have had a few lessons already, and quite content with continuing the session with or without another Groupon deal. Don't forget that besides riding lessons Dreamwood Farms also offers boarding accommodations for your lovely rides. Christina's schedule is quite busy, but she is always more than accommodating on scheduling and rescheduling. I thank her for that very much. P.S. I don't know if Google Maps have issue with this address, or anyone else having issue finding this place, but if you plot it in your turn-by-turn GPS it'll land you short (or long depends on which way you are coming from.) The best way to describe the location of the farm, if you are looking at the map of the area, is right before Rolesville Rd and Riley Hill Rd split up; so if you coming down Rolesville Rd you want to turn into the farm right before the road forks, or if you coming up from Rolesville Rd, after merged with Riley Hill Rd, you can see it right after the tree line and a white barn.
