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.

My family & I have never had such an experience. We trail ride at vacation destinations a few times…read morea year & this experience was pretty bad. One horse, several times, backed into the bushes to scratch his butt taking the rider completely in the trees. Also it's back legs buckled & it dropped down to its knees with rider on & then popped back up! Another horse went so close to trees to scratch itself, that the rider's foot was close to getting stuck on tree as horse moved forward, over & over. Really a nerve racking experience. Did not enjoy it at all. Plus no bathroom!

I called on a Friday, left a message and received a call back about twenty minutes later. I could…read morehave booked rides the same day, but I chose to make our reservations for the following day so we could get there early. I brought my two nieces (7 and 8 years old who had never ridden), but I hadn't told them where we were going and wanted them to have some time to get excited. We were greeted by all staff with smiles and the girls were given brushes to groom the two miniature ponies while we waited. Before our ride, the girls were given a short but thorough safety lesson and then we were off on the trail. Valerie had a lead on the first horse (Goldie) my older niece was riding, while my other niece followed on White Cloud and I was on Serena. Since the girls were a little nervous, we walked around many of the same trails which was perfect for their first ride. We had a wonderful time and were invited back the next day too! I went back with my sister and her three children (11 months, 3, and 4) and my 5 year old nephew. The kids were able to walk the miniatures (Casper and Blue Knight) around and we fed them carrots. We had a great time and will definitely return in the future!

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's biggest concern that my mom was scaring the horse because she was screaming for her son's life. Way to categorize priorities. The biggest reason for this was the mistreatment of the horses, which was evident just by the sight of these poor creatures. There wasn't even a stable. I would call that false advertisement. Afterwards, the actually had the guts to charge us for the ride. If ever you'd like to pay to know what it feels like to lose your brother, this isn't even the best place for that. It would be safer to break into a zoo and jump on a horse. And a better experience. Also, the horse could be seen running free in the woods, so don't even ask me what that was about. I feel like giving one star is very generous. If I wasn't so young I would have brough them to court.

We were told on the phone and when we paid up that the trail ride would include a trot and canter/gallop. None of that happened and when you ask them about it they look and shrug their shoulders.

A nice gentleman named Tim was very helpful at accomodating our group of 9 (children and seniors)'s last minute booking and made us feel welcome.

Our guide was very friendly; she answered all the questions our group threw at her and was very knowledgeable.

Monica was all smiles as she greeted us and introduced us to Casper, explaining the proper grooming and care after which she invited everyone to come and help with the brushing, cleaning of hooves, and saddling up.

After the ride, we got to feed Casper as well as all the ponies outside. 90 minutes flew by so quickly but we had so much fun and felt so welcomed that we will all be coming back, especially as the Stable grows and horses get introduced so adults can also get some riding in :)
