I can't recommend this experience enough! My sister and I…read morefelt very at home and not once felt out of place. Terry and her team are very welcoming and super knowledgeable on the history of Gettysburg and the horses. You can tell the staff cares and loves all the horses that they work with. They knew all of their quirks and past history. All these horses are rescued and it is so amazing to have the opportunity to contribute to this organization and ride a horse who has been built up by this amazing caring team. I had the pleasure of riding Gus who is an ex Amish work horse and the gentlest giant. Terry is truly so kind, accommodating, and very educated about the history of the battlefield and her horses. Her story telling was great and I could picture everything happening as Terry was explaining it to us. Terry also gave us the confidence to mount and ride our horses through the trails and how to properly handle them. The views were amazing and we had a great view of the blue ridge mountains in sight. We also had the pleasure of a nice breeze brushing through the peaceful battlefields as we rode the very tidy and well kept trails. If I could do this everyday I would and I'm so thankful to Terry and her team for giving my sister and I this experience to always look back on and remember. If you're looking for something to do in Gettysburg don't miss out on this horse tour, not only will you have a great experience but you'd be supporting a fantastic team and all that they work so hard for. Thank you for having us Terry and we will definitely be back!

Wow - This was way better than I expected! My husband was having some foot trouble and didn't want…read moreto walk all day so we found this option, since I love riding. These people are exceptional because they have rescued the horses and they literally teach you about horses so you can be a very comfortable rider (how to read their ear cues, why they stop, how to bond with them) even if you never ridden before. The horses were all well trained and even tempered so don't worry if you are taking the kids, they will love it. The history that you see and hear is amazing and would be impossible to do by yourself in a car. They really explained what the families who lived in the farms went through as well as the soldiers, doctors, officers and battlefield horses. It really was the best way to see and learn about the Gettysburg battlegrounds. I really can't say enough good things about the experience. If you can get a spot, you're lucky!

My horse Winny has been at Ridge Meadow Farm for the past 2 years being used for summer camps and…read morelessons. Every time I stop by to see him I can tell that he is well fed and happy! Last year I took another horse to Ridge Meadow Farm to be boarded until we moved to our new farm. David was very helpful and personally keeps a close eye on all of the horses and makes sure they are all happy and healthy. I am impressed with how clean and well maintained this large horse farm is! And it is owned and managed by someone who not only is very knowledgeable about horses but he cares about their well being.

Boarded here in early 2000s wasn't there long . Barn manager was a joke , pastures over grazed ,…read morenever cleaned wet outta stalls claimed it was the foundation to the bedding. Farm owner creepy . Other boarder would move a horse out of their stall to use it for training his own, hence handling a horse (yours he had no right to) Highly DONT recommend . There are better farm out there

Sandy and Willow are both wonderful! It has been a pleasure learning and growing here…read more If you're looking for lessons you'll have a wonderful experience here. They understand all levels of learners, the in betweenness, and those returning to riding later in life. The facility is ROBUST. Especially in comparison to some other places in the Northern Baltimore County area. On most days you have the option of indoor ring or outdoor riding. Both of which are important. I am definitely going to miss this place when we move.

This was my second time riding the tour trails but my first time with this company. Absolutely…read moreoutstanding service. Staff were fun, easy to engage and made all participants feel welcomed and comfortable no matter their riding experience. As a solo party they made me feel welcomed and included. The horses were wonderfully well behaved. The tour guide was knowledgeable and easy to engage. The tour guide informed us that this is a female owned business and is highly ethical. They have many horses so they never have to use the same ones each day. Would definitely recommend and will be returning I'm sure!

You get a two hour horseback ride through some trails following where the Confederate Army marched…read moreup into Seminary Ridge up to where the main battle occurred. The pros: The staff is awesome. They get 6 stars. They did a great job explaining safety and how to handle the horse. This is extremely helpful for those with no riding experience. They provide helmets and a radio receiver with an earbud to listen to some canned recording explaining some background of personnel, battles, and music.You get to ride right next to some historic buildings and farmhouses that you wouldn't be able to on a road or bus tour. The cons: Unless you get a certified guide, they are not allowed to narrate the history of the battle as you ride along the trail. We did not have a guide along with our group for the ride so it was fairly quiet most of the ride. Unless you are very well versed with the locations of the army units and battle locations, the ride might be a bit confusing. If you can tie this into the end of a visit to Gettysburg with the museum, film, bus or car tour, then it will be a blast.

Really a great ride. Michael, Ashley, and Amanda made the ride entertaining and informative…read more Different perspective to see some of the battle field from horseback. Highly recommend doing this tour.

See some of the horses that are there, and get a feel for how much this niche industry has been a a part of Maryland for a very long time. They have events throughout the year for the public, be sure to take the trip down there if you can - it's not far from the city. Everyone there is awesome and invested in making this place a world class horse farm!

The Rail Trail is a great place to walk or bike ride. The scene changes depending on where you are…read more Some spots are in the city or borough while others are deep woods. Because of the length of the trail there are many places to park and get a different experience every time. Two historic stations still exist from when passenger trains used the tracks; the Hanover Junction station and New Freedom station. Hanover Junction is famous for a stop by Abraham Lincoln on route to Gettysburg in 1863 and charged trains. Both stations are open weekends in the summer. Riding through Howard Tunnel is also a fun experience. From New Freedom you can ride the Steam Into History train on a Civil War era train. Different themes such as Halloween and Christmas are added in season and sometimes Abraham Lincoln joins the ride.

The rail trail goes from York city to the maryland border which is about 21 miles. We rode 10 miles…read morefrom york, which is around the seven valleys area, and 10 miles back. Its a really nice ride. Its a flat relatively level surface with lots of places to sit and rest and follows an active railroad track thru the woods and farm land. My only issue is that there are sooo many people at certain spots its kind of annoying. However in other spots its just you and nature. I also saw remarkably little trash laying around (amazing since people are pigs), so someone must come along and pick it up regularly and do maintenance. Kudos on that! You can walk, run, bike, ride horses. no motors allowed, so its a nice quiet day overall. check it out!
