    Kathy and the crew are awesome. I learned how to ride with Kathy when I was about 12 yrs old. I am…read morenow 65. She taught me English and Western riding. I was able to attend horse shows with her and had the most positive experiences. Love ya Kathy. It's a family at the farm. MeriEllen from Massachusetts and now NH.

    As we all get older, we create bucket lists. My wife and I sat down and put together a bucket list…read more One of her items which she considered to be a simple one was for us to go horseback riding. She had been horseback riding as a kid and really wanted to relive that experience with me. I on the other hand had never been on a horse before. I didn't want to tell her that I was feeling nervous or that I had some concerns about getting on a horse. But I did tell the lady who owns the farm privately and she helped me get comfortable. She helped select the horses from my wife and I, and although my wife had experienced as a child, the owner stated our older bodies are much different now and she picked a nice gentle horse for my wife and I. She took extra time to show me how to properly sit on the horse, keep my feet in the stirrups and hold onto the reins. In talking with friends they explained at most farms you normally get led by a human being around the circle a couple of times and that's horseback riding. At Spring Tide Farm they took us out and we rode the horses! The owner was a patient woman who was so kind to her animals as well as us humans. She explained she's been doing this for 50 years and the horses are like her children. She explained that her love for horses, not only extends to her horses, but those that she boards. The time seem to fly by, my wife and I had a great experience together. Time for the next thing on our list.

    Three of us went on a mini getaway this past October that centered around a few hours of exquisite…read morehorseback riding at the Martin Family Ranch. Our small crew included myself, my daughter, and my girlfriend. We were greeted at the ranch by the very hospitable hosts, David and Jessica Martin. The riding package included a delicious western meal prepared by David eaten outdoors where everyone knows that food tastes best! Jessica provided a very informative overview of horsemanship that refreshed my memory of being around horses and provided new information to the the rest of us who had a bit less riding than I had, although I'm by no means an expert. Jessica's knowledge of horses is amazing. We each rode on a horse that was hand selected by Jessica based on observing each of us in the paddock on horseback before setting out on the trails. The pace of our ride was comfortable enough for anyone with a bit more riding experience but not too fast for those with less experience. Our horses were beautiful and well trained. One thing that I noticed early on about the Martin Family Ranch was how CLEAN the barn and stall were and how loving cared for the horses were. I loved the fact while the ranch and its horses are a business with money to be made, the well-being of the horses at the ranch is of paramount concern to David and Jessica. We would love to go back to the ranch again some day for more riding!

    The Martin Family Ranch is a must! I was expecting to learn a bit and then enjoy a trail ride, but…read morewhat I got from Jess and David was so much more. I'm writing this a few days after my experience and am still smiling. At first, I actually drove right past their property because it was so beautiful that I thought it was someone's beautiful home with well-kept grounds. Jess greeted me outside. We chatted a bit about what I should expect for the day. I was surprised when she said they had prepared lunch for me. When I say they prepared a lunch, I don't mean crackers and cheese on a plate with grapes, which is always lovely. What I mean is they grilled delicious meats, prepared potatoes, as well as a fresh cucumber and tomato salad! They sat with me at the picnic table and we got to know each other a bit while we ate. Jess decided which horse she thought would be best for me. I got Gorgeous George. She chose wisely. All of their horses are gorgeous. They look so healthy and vibrant! David and Jess believe in the importance of the horse and rider getting familiar with each other. To do so, you have to spend some intimate time with each other. I was shown how to brush the horse (for different reasons and with different brushes); how to clean the horses hooves; and how to walk the horse. To be clear, I was shown how to do these things and then did these things. Then I got to ride the horse in the ring. By the time I got to the ring, I was so much more relaxed with George than I was when I first met him. David determined that I was ready to hit the short trail, so the 3 of us rode off. They both determined I was ready for the longer, more challenging trail. What a challenging, but fantastic rest of the day! We had a 2 hour adventurous ride through the trails and waters. I'm not an overly experienced rider. I've only done trail rides, and only started doing those as an adult. I've done those trail rides in NH, TX, AZ, etc. This was like no trail ride I've ever done. The scenery is great, the instruction is great, and the people are great. They love their horses, and care about their riders having a unique, safe, and beautiful day. I cannot wait to return!
