Gold Rush Farms, LLC

“We recently hosted my daughter’s 7th birthday party at Gold Rush Farms and we couldn't have picked a better place. After searching all over Fairfield County for horse farms that host birthday parties that wouldn’t cost a fortune, Gold Rush Farms was one of the few places that offered exactly what we were looking for - and at an incredibly reasonable rate. Nikki was wonderful to work with: flexible, accommodating, and exactly the calming presence you need when navigating birthday party chaos. Each of the girls got to ride their own adult horse (due to the small group size), and the riding time felt generous - much longer than I’ve seen at other places. They also got to groom one of the horses (Valentino), which was such a sweet and memorable hands-on activity. Nikki also went above and beyond when I forgot to bring an activity for the girls. Without skipping a beat, she pulled out real horseshoes from the barn (sprayed gold) so the girls could paint them. It was thoughtful, creative, and such a perfect take-home keepsake. Beyond parties, Gold Rush Farms also offers lessons and a summer camp, and after seeing how well they run things, I’m seriously considering signing my daughter up. I can’t recommend Gold Rush Farms enough - wonderful people, happy horses, and a magical experience for kids. Five stars all around! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“This was a great experience! They were organized and supportive. We had a guide for the trail and volunteers who walked our horses to the trail to get us started, then met us at the end of the trail to guide us back to the stable. The trail is gorgeous and peaceful. It was a full 45 min riding on the trail. Well done! We will definitely come here again”

“Nikki and team were amazing! Was looking for something fun to do for a birthday surprise and we had a great time! The staff was friendly and extremely helpful. Beautiful grounds and horses highly recommend!”
