Maple Farm Adventure - Waterdown, Ontario

Meher B.

I went for my first trail ride a month ago and it was truly the best horse adventure I’ve ever been on. The farm and forest trails are breathtaking and so much more interesting than riding in circles. The horses are simply stunning and so happy in their paddocks or on the trails. Ramy was our trail guide/instructor and his knowledge and trust with his horses was clear to see. Even though I last rode 15 years ago, I felt at immediate ease with Kelly, the horse I had the privilege to ride. What struck me is how all the horses were all so calm and seemed to enjoy each other’s company and the ride as much as the riders did! That, to me, was very important as I’ve had so many stressful rides where school horses don’t like to be ridden or get spooked easily, or cannot be close to other horses. In comparison, this ride was a therapeutic, nature-focused experience made interesting by the varied gentle trails in the forest. I could focus fully just on my horse and our environment instead of worrying about how other people were riding. The experience was meditative and transcended a regular trail ride.

I also liked that the terrain was not too challenging for the horses to navigate and they seem to know it very well. I was so glad that the trails did not include any steep hills that would unnecessarily tire the horses, and Ramy assured me that his horses have strict limits on how long and hard they are worked to keep them in the best of health.

The bottom line is that happy, healthy horses on beautiful, relaxing trails is why I love Maple Farm adventures because nothing else matters more to me - and that is why it is my preferred place for future horse adventures! Thank you Ramy for a great introductory experience at your farm - I can’t wait to be back!

Truly a spectacular experience! The two staff members welcomed us warmly and were incredibly friendly. The trail ride itself was breathtaking, especially with the changing fall colours all around us. What made it even more special was the personal connection we were encouraged to build with each horse... we were able to brush them, feed them, and really get to know their personalities. The horses were absolutely stunning and clearly well cared for and loved.

After the ride, we never felt rushed. We were invited to spend time visiting the other animals and bonding more with the horses and staff. Safety was always a clear priority, yet it never came at the expense of fun or freedom.

Overall, it was an unforgettable experience, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a meaningful and memorable horseback adventure <333 shout out to Toro!

My daughter had a fabulous time on her trail ride today. Knowledgeable, friendly instructor who gave her the confidence and allowed her to ride on her own, but was right there to support if needed. We plan to come back!

Outstanding! Both of the guides: Diana and Remy (sorry if that is not how you spell your name) were friendly, chatting, answered all of my questions, and took me on an amazing trial ride. I also enjoyed spending time with the horses-I got to brush out the one I was riding which was fun and she seemed to like it! The leaves were gorgeous and the sun was in the right spot for our trail. My horse Victoria was also lovely and I sort of want to take her home for myself! I will probably make this a yearly thing. I've been trail riding with a guide before but I think this is the best trial ride I have ever had!

말들도 착하고 관리해주시는 분도 친절해서 안전하게 잘 체험했음. 1:1이라서 좋은듯. 해질무렵 승마 낭만 지림 캐나다 와서 체험 추천👍👍👍

From the very beginning of our horse adventure, Remy was incredible patient and friendly with us. He allowed us to go at our own pace since it was our first time ever riding the horses… even my husband was very timid compared to me, and he worked very well with him continually reassuring both of us. His horses were VERY friendly and listened very well (other than when they wanted to take breaks and eat the grass haha it was funny)!! He was also very generous with the time… we originally paid for an hour experience and he never rushed us into finishing up our adventure. He generously gave us 30-45 minutes extra to get comfortable with the horses/ spend more time with them! but overall very pleasant experience. We will definitely be back!!

The best farm ever to learn horse riding. My family had a really amazing experience with riding horse, grooming the pony and feeding the friendly horses. The instructors are so professional and expert. Definitely we will go back there a lot.

The best place to learn horse riding and best place for trail riding. Very trained and calm horses. Instructors are very informative and work with riders very closely, whether you’re a beginner or advanced rider.
