    Cindy and her team have created something special here, earning consistent praise for their professionalism and warm hospitality. The horses steal the show in review after review, with guests noting how well-cared-for they are and how thoughtfully they're matched to each rider's experience level. First-timers feel completely comfortable, while those wanting a little more adventure can opt for trotting. The scenic trails wind through beautiful landscapes, especially stunning during fall foliage season, and there's a nice touch that dogs are welcome along for the ride. Beyond trail rides, this operation clearly knows how to put on a great seasonal event. The haunted hayride gets rave reviews for its production value, scares, and overall experience, with guests comparing it favorably to established Halloween attractions back East. Families also love the pumpkin patch setup, complete with a petting zoo, hay maze, campfire, and lawn games. People return visit after visit when they're in the Dells area. One review mentions unfriendly management behavior toward staff, but the overwhelming consensus from guests is that they receive attentive, friendly service from guides who genuinely care about making the experience memorable.

    Amazing place! So glad we chose this one over other ones read about in Dells and surrounding areas. My husband, myself and two daughters(11 and 6) had the best experience. Super friendly, down to earth, helpful people. Did excellent job of taking care of the horses and rotating them out. They helped everyone on horse individually, and explained to each person how to handle their horse… this horse is… to go left do this… to go right do this… Nice scenic trail ride. And on ride, guide kept asking how everyone was doing and what to do when going downhill, uphill, etc They took picture of all of us individually on our horses and with our group. No extra charge. Just a really great experience for first timers. We will definitely be going back there!! Thank you so much!
