★★★★★Featured review by Y R

This is a local gem. I called on Saturday morning to see if there was any last-minute availability for a trail ride for 2. Fortunately for us, we got a spot and were saddled up 3 hours later. We enjoyed an hour trail ride on a lovely sunny day. Our trail guides John was very helpful and quite pleasant, along with Kristine and Roseanne. They took extra care personally assuring each rider was comfortable during the ride. We've had a proper instructions before going for a trail ride. Absolutely a friendly energy from everyone we interacted with. The facilities were well maintained, and the horses seemed super happy and healthy. Those horses were rescued and they seem truly cared for and loved and I respect any organization that takes such care of their animals. We felt the positive energy as soon as we stept on the property. Excellent experience!

This farm is magic. The owners are the nicest people. The horses are so well cared for. The horses are well trained and the sweetest rescues. I recommend this farm for lessons and trail rides above all others in the area. The whole experience is amazing. You can see the difference from farms that just want to take your money. Blue Spruce is not that kind of farm. The team is devoted to their animals and their customers Go feel the love and have an incredible time.

Did a family riding lesson with my wife and two young children. Everyone had a great time. The farm is run by a very friendly family that has a lot of experience with horses. All the horses are rescues which makes this place even that much better. Looking forward to going back soon.

One of the best experiences we’ve ever had horseback riding. Everybody was very friendly and attentive, the horses are beautiful and well taken care of. Very reassuring from new/ non experienced riders, will be back soon!
