I've been horseback riding with my daughter for many years but only recently discovered this wonderful trail riding facility in nearby Niagara On The Lake.

From the moment we arrived our experience was nothing short of spectacular. We were greeted by Dinah, our friendly and knowledgeable trail guide, and introduced to some of the most beautiful horses we have ever seen. The bonus to this trail ride though, was the location. It’s situated right along the Niagara Escarpment. On our trail ride, Dinah pointed out a family of deer grazing in the forest, some wild turkeys, and also informed us that the Bruce Trail ran through that area of the escarpment. There was lot’s to see. The rare Hart’s Tongue Fern, trilliums in full bloom and a forest setting that would rival any. It’s like a small piece of heaven.

If you’re looking for a peaceful, relaxing way to spend some time away from the typical tourist fare in the area, this is the place to visit. I highly recommend it!

This was a great experience. Being fr. Jersey we dont get to do things like this often ... this was much better than anything i expected.

I think the great part of it was how authentic the riding was. Dont expect a commercialized riding tour. You drive up into a dirt parking lot with a house and a barn. You hear the donkey in the background, you see the dog chained up. You almost might think you're in the wrong place! But you've found it, A hidden treasure!

Since we were the last tour of the day our tourguide thought she would take us on a new trail that would combine the vineyards as well as the woods. So our tour lasted a little longer than expected - and we enjoyed every minute of it. Very relaxing, the horses are well trained (though they will try to take advantage of you & eat as much grass as you'll allow them to).

Be sure to wear jeans/pants/sneakers and be ready to get your hands a little dirty.

The experience was very worthwhile. Brock and Winston took good care of their riders!

I proposed to my girlfriend on these trials during a beautiful fall day. Dinah made sure my plans went smoothly and provided stellar service for the occasion. My fiancée was amazed with the facilities and the extra attention we received.

This was my second time riding a horse and I felt extremely comfortable with the horses provided and the trials were amazing.

I would recommend Niagara Riding Stables as it has a little something for everyone.

Thanks again Dinah for all your help.

Tina and I will always remember our beautiful day.

We live in upstate NY and decided to take a drive along the seaway trail then across the boarder to Niagara on the lake. My husband and two boys 11/12 and I were looking on line for "what to do" wine tours didn't intrest us, and we have been to the falls numerous times and then we saw Niagara Riding Stables.

DON'T JUDGE A BOOK BY IT'S COVER~!!!

The Farm it self needs some work, and the young woman running the show is extreamly accomadating, and takes EXCELLENT care of her horses and there riders. I have had other experiences at stables that look like thousand dollar stables, and I have NEVER seen so much love and passion in a individual for there animals. I would love more people to visit Niagara Riding Stables so the owner can remodel and fix up the area to be more eye appealing. Neither one of my boys has EVER rode a horse, and George and Cody were as sweet, and funny as any horse I have ever met. Each horse has it's own personality, and they were in excellent condition, and not high strung or skiddish, just calm gentle beasts. The ride was over an hour long and it was just beautiful lush woods with trails.

Take a day, take the kids, drive to Niagara Riding Stables, and see what Down to Earth really means. I have inclosed several pictures for you pleasure.
