Mountain Brook Farm

On Oct 31st (Halloween) I went to horseback riding and it one of greatest experience! Even though there a moment when my horse (Chanse) decides to startled me couple of times, it made the ride more exciting and interesting. I really recommend it!

My husband and I had a wonderful trail ride here this past week. We are not very experienced riders but our guide Kim was so great. She was attentive, knowledgeable and lots of fun to chat with. The views were incredible and we would definitely recommend it for anyone in the area!

Kim was the absolute best tour guide. My wife and I went this past week and can't go over what an amazing time we had. I had never been on a horse before, while my partner grew up riding. Kim made the whole experience approachable and made sure I was comfortable with the pace the entire time. If you are in the area this is a must-do activity!

The farm is run by a sweet family. And the farm is in a real natural setting. We were able to comb the horses, and play with the goats. A really enjoyable experience.

I never write reviews, but this is a special place. It deserves 10 stars. I have been riding for about 15 years, but always a beginner. Lessons here and there and trail rides at dude ranches. I love horses and farms and animals period. All the places I go I have enjoyed the ride, but at times feel disconnected, knowing the horses are working. Sometimes they are annoyed, or just doing what they are told like any human on a job. But there is something very special about this place. Yes, all the dude ranches and horse farms love their horses, but here they feel likethey feel like... family. This not only stands for the horses, but the pig-Gracie, the numerous hens, roosters, bunnies, dogs and goats etc. The owner-Nancy and her staff Kim, and I can't forget the granddaughter, whose name I won't share- you have to have the privilege of meeting her in person- are all part of the ecosystem. If you have never been on a horse, their care of the horses and how the horses responds to them, will put you at ease. I have never felt more confident that the horse knows where I am at with the ride. Now of course horses have their temperaments and you do need to know how to navigate them and know they are an outstanding animal where you need to have common sense to listen to Nancy and Kim and learn how to ride and be in control and not let the horse think they are :-). The team here will help you with that. Give you pointers and share knowledge that you just need to listen to. I can't say enough about how much I love this place and how it remains in my thoughts and heart when I am back home. Amidst the chaos that I experience in New York City these days, it is a special place to let go, get over my feelings and connect with the horse, the team and my surroundings. The views are stunning!
