Such a great time, would definitely recommend! A decent drive out from Markham is this horse riding…read moreranch with several horses and huge, expansive, beautiful property that includes a forest! We came here in September on a warm and comfortable evening. It was pretty empty when we arrive and we signed in a little house at the front, then we were led by a staff member to the horses after a short introduction video and in-person intro to help us put on our helmets and stow our stuff safely away (like keys and phones). We then boarded our horses and were lucky that there were only 2 of us so we basically got a private horseback riding excursion! The staff member who guided was quite experienced and knew how to manage and control the horses well. We walked around the forest a lot, traversing up and down hills, doing a bit of trotting and riding on the horse which was quite an experience! It was enjoyable and relaxing to ride these horses! I think my horse and I got along pretty well, since the horses are pretty well trained and walk these paths a lot you don't really need to guide them too much; and they also follow the other horses pretty well. Time of the day matters too! We came near the end of the day so the horses were getting tired, sluggish and less inclined to walk around (they just wanted to eat and rest!). I'd definitely recommend long pants and bug spray for this activity; and to dress in comfortable clothing. Overall, the experience was fantastic and I'd definitely come back!

Ryan Horse We came…read moreby for a trail ride and I have mixed reviews. I told them I know how to ride and they gave me a horse named Ryan, who was really sluggish and required tons of leg work to keep up with the group. It was absolutely exhausting and super frustrating. We came by here to celebrate our one year wedding anniversary and I did not enjoy it. My husband and was given a different horse named Ranger, and he didn't have to do anything to keep his horse moving. He had a much better experience than me. Another con is they don't let you interact with the horses before the ride or after the ride. I would have liked to be able to pet the horses or pet them and get some close ups with the horses. When you are on the trail ride they take your photo at two spots and this is included with admission cost. However we paid full price and I heard other people say how much they paid and they had used a groupon and paid half as much as us. After the ride, they offered us a promo to come back but I did not take the flyer because I did not want to go back. I feel bad writing this review because I don't want anything bad to happen to any of the horses if their business does badly but I did not have a good time. I don't recommend riding the horse named Ryan. The company also said to not to bring your phones but everyone else brought their phones. I was disappointed I didn't have mine.

I came up to Ridgewood Farm to check it out and had a really good time. Tyler is a great instructor…read moreand the stable is even warm during the cold winter months. They offer private, semi-private and group lessons and aren't too far from the city of Toronto. Their horses are trained really well and they will work with you to teach you what you need to learn. Most of Tyler's students win in the competitions they attend. I would definitely go back. :)

I am taking lessons with Adrienne and she is terrific, relatable and is a skilled instructor. She challenges me just enough so I feel challenged yet i feel perfectly safe and confident that I can do what she asks. Michelle and Tyler, the owners are incredible as well. If you are looking for a stable look no further. This is one.

Stonewood is the most organized stable I know: Lessons are all well planned, groups arranged appropriately according to level of experience, classes never overcrowded and always start and end on time, horses well cared for and never over-ridden, stables and tack rooms neat and labelled, viewing area is tidy, comfortable, and kept at comfortable temperature, AND there is always someone around to help. Stonewood also happens to be a handsome property situated in a beautiful location. Most families who find it, stay.

I'm so glad to have Greenhawk in the area. They have a super selection of tack, equipment and…read moreapparel at different price points to suit different budgets and level of experience. They are often more pricey than other places, but they are one the of few shops in the area, so whaddya gonna do? :) The location is easily accessed just off the 404 and has lots of parking. The store is always very clean, nicely merchandised and has a Bark & Fitz doggie boutique as well as a consignment shop. The service is inconsistent. The ladies at the check-out tend to act a bit put out when approached for help, and often ignore other customers if they're chatting with regulars/people they know. I find that most of the customer service staff on the floor are very eager to help and most of the time someone will approach immediately to see if I need help. However, I was improperly fitted for a helmet that two different employees insisted was the right fit. I showed it to my trainer and he told me to return it immediately as it was so big it flopped over my face even when tightened. I brought him with me to pick a new helmet so I now know what to look for. Bad online shopping. The site has limited inventory, limited pictures/description of merchandise and a poor return policy: no online returns in-store. Shipping is by UPS only with no option for a less expensive alternative (e.g. Canada Post). Overall, glad Greenhawk is at this location. I'll continue to go since it's close to my riding school, but will comparison shop online with other stores prior to purchasing.
