1 / 2Willow Grove Farm
π Washington Township, NY
Clydesdale horse farm running hour-long trail rides, individual lessons, horse-drawn wagon rides, and birthday parties. Draft horses accommodate riders of all sizes including larger adults. Patient, experienced instructors.
Lovely farm!! This is a must try for all who pass thru Northern NJ. This Clydesdale farm is very well-kept and the horses look healthy and happy. They can accommodate larger riders as these are draft horses. My son took a lesson with one of the trainers (Anna) and he really loved the experience. Theyβre knowledgeable, kind and accommodating. He really did learn a lot with his lesson and then was taken in a complimentary tour of the farm π₯°πwhat a wonderful place and a lovely drive as well on the way.
π Family Action Verdict
The right choice for nervous first-time riders of any age or size. Clydesdale draft horses are significantly calmer and more accommodating than typical riding horses, and the instructors are patient with beginners. Calling ahead is advisable to guarantee availability.

βI have been here multiple times and I always felt welcome. Anna is an excellent teacher who is patient and knowledgeable. We have been here with a group and for lessons. I love it. Today October 15. I came to the gate and a friendly bay mare came up to me not for food,but to give me a soft nuzzle kiss .β

βSo much fun - a really great unique experience! These horses are gentle giants. Many with us were begginer riders and all had a great time. The farm is so beautiful and owners are great hosts. It's a must do.β
