What you'll do
Come visit Hidden Springs Farm, nestled in the Quiet Corner and enjoy a relaxing trail ride with our calm and happy horses. You'll learn how to connect with the horses while taking in gorgeous scenery through the Natchaug State Forest.
The trail ride can take anywhere from 30 minutes-2 hours, depending on your skill level and how long you want to go. We start with tacking the horses up, brushing them and introducing them to you so you can get to know your ride.
In order to enjoy this ride to the fullest, we ask that you remain calm and ask plenty of questions! Our horses love taking new people for rides and showing off the beauty that is Connecticut. On the trail ride you'll witness tons of wildlife at a relaxed pace. Make sure you bring your appreciation for nature! *Unfortunately there is a weight limit of 200 lbs*
Other things to note
Depending on the weather, please bring appropriate outerwear. Always bring an extra coat or a sweater as we trail ride outside and it can be chilly! Gloves are also a must in cold weather. Snacks are not provided, but waters are!

I am a horse enthusiast, running a rescue and thoroughbred farm in the Last Green Valley of Connecticut. I've been taking in horses for 15 years and own a variety of rescues that currently enjoy the rolling green hills of Connecticut. I love helping horses who are in troubled homes and giving them a fun job to do all while helping them learn how to trust people again.
Where you'll be
While we are always taking different routes for variety, some special places you'll see on the trail ride includes the Christmas forest, a serene reservoir, fall foliage, a long winding dirt road shaded by tall pine trees, soft green meadows and picturesque New England homes. These are just some of the beautiful things you'll see on the ride.

Glenna and Mackenzie are so sweet and gave us a super fun and relaxing afternoon. The horses are all wonderful and SO well cared for. It’s a beautiful location and a very scenic , safe, and enjoyable way to spend a few hours! Highly recommended as a great COVID friendly activity, even in the winter! Glenna and Mackenzie - thank you so much for your time! It was so fun to chat with you both! Love from Boston!

Glenna and McKenzie were wonderful hosts! I booked them for both experiences for my girlfriend's birthday, and they were super friendly and happy to hang out with us on a cold winter day. We spent quality time with their beautiful horses and learned all about their unique personalities. We had a great time on our trail ride to the reservoir and loved hearing about their life growing up with horses, very different from our city life!

This was one of the best horseback riding experiences that I have been on! It is sweet and unique. You get to learn every horses story and bond with your horse before you go out on the ride. Glenna and her sister were so kind and kept up great conversation throughout the entire ride as if you were already friends! The horses look happy and incredibly healthy so you know they are adored and cared for. Thank you for one of the best birthdays I have had! Xx
