I had such a wonderful experience at Daisy Field Farm. I was camping nearby and on a whim decided…read moretaking a ride on a horse was something I needed. The farm is adorable, as is the couple running it and the giant angel cloud of a dog who insisted on pets. My horse was lovely and a bit sassy. The guy running the trail rides is an absolute sweetheart. We chatted the whole ride, and it was such a nice experience. The trail is beautiful. Absolutely worth checking out!

Definitely recommend for first time and beginning riders. Come during off season. My wife and I had…read morea private ride with Kelly. She was terrific in giving my wife tips on how to ride and make the entire experience enjoyable. Horses are well trained, and unlike other trail horses, they take a wide swath through the trees and don't try to pin you. It's obvious that they take good care of their horses. I've been riding for 64 years and my wife just started a couple years ago but we enjoyed and will be back with our family.

After reading the reviews on this stable, We were looking forward to a ride. We drove to the…read morelocation listed on their website and was greeted by a sign that says "moved nearby". Not seeing any directions or address, I called to find out the new address. The man immediately barked at me that they had moved and "he didn't have time to discuss this". When I again tried to obtain directions, I was again met with a bark. He then stated if we didn't have reservations that we couldn't go till one. The website does recommend reservations however we decided with short notice to go (no open business hours to call prior to our decision). I will not attempt to support this business again.

This was an excellent trip. I booked the tickets the day of and I don't recommend waiting because…read morethe earlier times were all taken and the time left was when it might rain. Luckily the rain time shifted and we arrived 20 minutes before our appointment for 3pm to sign waivers. We took pics with the horses that were there and we had time to pet them. I pet mouse the entire time and when we were assigned horses, my husband said i wanted mouse. I recommend not picking your own horse & just having a horse be assigned to you. The workers know the horses best. Mouse is on the slower side but I still enjoyed my time on him. They know which horse hasn't been out yet, has more energy for the ride, etc. All the horses did a great job and they're friendly. At the end of the ride, mouse turned around to look at me while I was still on him. He's so funny... I guess he wanted to see who kept talking him. On the ride we saw turkeys and deer. It was a nice experience. Would do again.

My eight-year-old daughter who had never been on a horse went on a thirty minute ride and LOVED it. They were patient with her and she learned a ton. They have about six "free range" dogs, so be prepared for that, but they are really friendly, nice dogs towards people. I spent the time waiting for my daughter to return playing with one of them. Cash only.

Kim is a great teacher who praises when praise is warranted and firm when it comes to safety issues and paying attention. I loved that. This isn't your average "pony ride.' My grandkids groomed, sprayed and saddled the horses (with lots of help from Kim, her daughter, and other experienced riders). They learned some riding basics and after the grooming/saddling/instruction, were able to ride by themselves in a large fenced in area. I highly recommend this stable if you happen to be in the area. Call to make an appointment. The rates are very reasonable and Kim gave me a discount for 3 riders.

Here's why: Erika, the owner, takes the time to learn about each prospective rider before you come so she can pair you with the perfect horse. So be sure and take the time to let them know in the online questionnaire how you are with horses and riding. I'm a confident rider and got a great horse for me where my husband isn't as confident rider and he was paired with a sweet easy going horse, Faye. Actually all the horses are sweet and wonderful. We did a one hour trail ride. The trail was fun - not too challenging and we even got to stop by a beautiful creek so the horses could take a drink. It's absolutely magical & no better way to see the beauty of this region. Now the horses: They are all beautiful, very healthy and thus happy. You can get to know them on the Painted Bar Stables website! Many are rescued and have been revitalized by being in this wonderful place. I can't wait to return.

She had a wealth of knowledge and several degrees in horses related fields. We went on a one hour trail ride and now knowing what I know, I would definitely have upgraded to the 1.5-hour trail ride. It was such a fun experience! I hadn't been on a horse in years and had only ridden a horse maybe three times in my life, so you don't have to be a knowledgeable rider by any means. The horses were so gentle and already knew the route they were taking. If I lived closer, I would have loved to sign up for classes here. I highly recommend this is a great activity to anyone traveling this way. We loved it.
