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.
You are going to love it. We did the walking one. Went with my parents and brother. They even let you feed the horses. Bring your phone so you can capture the moment. They are super nice. We went to celebrate a birthday. It was an awesome experience. They know their horses well. It was our first time riding horses and we will definitely be back soon.
