The trail itself was fun. We went up and down some pretty steep inclines & thru a stream a couple of times. Way more interesting terrain than we city folk have ridden thru on past rides. This is just a one man operation so if you call & have to leave a message, understand that you are calling Bill's cell not some assistant, and he's either on a ride or getting the next group ready. It took a few missed connections for Bill & I to finally talk on the phone but it was worth it. Highly recommended for a fun laid back experience.

Amazing local creamery that specializes in goats milk cheeses. They feature 7 varieties of…read morecheeses that are carried by a bevy of local restaurants (ACE Hotel, Avenue B, Butcher and the Rye, Eden, Mezzo, Nine on Mine, Scratch, Six Penn, Spoon, Vivo...You get the idea). You can also buy their cheeses at Whole Foods, East End Co-op, Penn Mac, and the 52 Street Market. Their cheeses are seriously creative and delicious. For example, Bamboozle is made with beer from Roundabout, how cool is that? My favorite is Cowboy Coffee which is hand rubbed with Commonplace Coffee. My favorite Goat Rodeo cheese name is "More Cowbell" (actually a cow's milk cheese). Hilarious, you might buy this for the name, but the cheese is extraordinary, too. Look for their cheeses at your favorite restaurant, tell them Dave the Cheese Guy sent you. And giddy up!

Had a great time today. I called in the morning and was able to get into a group of four others…read moregoing out at 2pm for a one hour trail ride. The facility is lovely and very clean. I arrived 15 min early and hung out until everyone had arrived, using the time to browse, ask questions, meet the horses, and pet the two dogs that were lazing about in the barn. Once we were paired with a horse and helped up into the saddles, they gave us a brief speech about how to control the horses and what to expect on the ride. The horses were all very sedate and happy to play follow the leader with very little input from us. The ride took us mostly through open fields, but also through some light woods and along the side of woods. There was a good amount of elevation change, but it was nothing difficult and it provided some lovely views of the surrounding lands. Our guide frequently asked how we were all doing, kept a keen eye on the group, pausing to allow a lagging horse to catch up from time to time, and stopped at the midpoint to walk through the group making sure we were still all okay and our horses and saddles were good. When we got back, staff members came out and helped us off the horses and led them off to drink. It was a lovely experience. Very sedate and easy, though I guarantee I'll feel that in my thighs tomorrow. LOL. Going into it, I was a bit worried that I'd be bored. Today's digital age has shrunk my attention span and I knew we'd be going walking pace in a line. But at no point did I want to pull out my phone and surf social media or read a book. I just enjoyed the bouncing jolting sway of the horse, the scenery, the lovely weather, and the chit chat around me. I would totally do this again. Thanks everyone at Circle R Ranch for a lovely afternoon.

The two women who helped us and guided our trail ride were great. They know all the horses personalities and were able to pair us up with a horse suitable for our riding abilities (beginners).

This is a small family owned business that we'd love to visit again when in the area.

I wasn't going to write this review, but when I got these message below after I had inquired about…read morea charge after checking out , I knew I had too. I so very much wish my experience was like the other reviews I read. I believe the owner is getting in over her head & true colors are showing. JMO. PROS: the horses are very well trained,stalls/barn well-maintained, they supply small water bottles for rides, breakfast was timely & good, the owner would update you on your agenda or last minute changes via text, the upper deck provides a beautiful view of the ranch & beyond, the staff was hospitable & hard working, the rooms were clean, cozy, give you views of the horses and the bed was comfortable. CONS: (I truly wish there were none. I was so excited about this place. ) 1) I was told religion would not be pushed on me yet every session I was told to surrender to God or face hell (in detail and this scared me considering the vulnerable state I was in), 2) the owner herself set me up w a "prophet" meeting I didn't sign up for & when I asked, is this going to be possible bad news? I was told it would all be positive: it was an hour of a young woman saying she was a prophet and god was telling her that i needed to leave my husbands, he wasn't my soulmate & if I didn't I wouldn't get the blessings coming my way (I was distraught & depressed the rest of the stay bc of this) furthermore, this prophet is the owners DAUGHTER AND I was then charged $90/100, 3) There was a "free day" on my agenda which I had no plans of filling; I thought I would be with the horses everyday & felt untended to for an entire day & night - considering the reasons guests come to the ranch, I was lonely & feeling super down, 4) the owner speaks down about past guests and often expressed "I have a low tolerance for fear or anxiety bc I've had to do hard things my whole life by myself" (low empathy for a trauma recovery ranch), 5) from the moment I got there until I left I was repeatedly told of her past traumas in detail, the estranged relationship w her daughters, her attempted suicides, her divorces, and all she has had to do on her own, more than I'd like to count & it was triggering (there's a time & a place for those disclosures and I didn't need a reminder everyday), 6) one of the therapy session included chasing a horse with a whip and I felt distressing a horse was not a good approach & made me very uncomfortable bc I cherish animals and their comfort so deeply, 7) during one of my equine therapy sessions (the most valuable & vulnerable part), the owner let last minute two non-guests come to pet the horses (for $50), spoke to them the entire time in front of my stall/the barn; no therapy was had that session and I felt exposed as this was a ranch for traumatized/depressed/healing guests, 8) having a lot of rain before and during stay (which cannot be helped and did not upset me) I did not feel it would be safe to ride bc it was so slippery and still raining so I did miss a trail ride & was bummed but it is what it is- the owner offered a $150 Saturday trail ride w picnic and I was psyched- the next day the owner texted she overbooked & I could not go - total bummer & would not be refunded the $160 she charged instead of $150), 9) during my trail ride I think I may have been bit by something (again, no ones fault and comes w the territory) but when I woke up with a large hard hot bump on my inner thigh the next morning and it hurt way too much for me to ride my next trail, I let the owner know the and she laughed at me (SEE TEXT BELOW), 10) if you add on the medieval photo shoot w the prince horse, pray every shot is gold bc the owner only takes a handful of shots, admits she has no photography experience, says she doesn't know what poses to do, rushes you, doesn't direct you, & chooses the shots the horse (not the person) looks best in. The two shots chosen for me (I would have loved to have picked because 2 were very special to me) were of me looking angry and blurry. I asked the graphic designer (I learned later was also her daughter??) for the two photos I did like but she wouldn't do it so that money & experience was lost 11) no matter your riding experience, you are given a 30 second instruction on how to ride and handle a horse on a trail right before you take off - one guest expressed fears and asked if there were any tips on how to ride a horse, "Nope. I have no tolerance for fear. That's why you signed a waiver." & 12) I had texted Cynthia on my free day expressing how I had been triggered and was going to ask to prey, but got the final text post in response. I got there so excited to ride, learn and heal and left feeling lonely, so sad, and taken for. If it weren't for the attached screenshots, I would have just not left a review & moved on.....
