Sunnyside Stables

10 out of 10 would eat here again.jk me and my sister loved going to camp here so fun

We took this ride as a family last weekend and it was very nice. We booked it as a birthday party because my (adult) daughter thought it would be a fun thing to do and it was in honor of her birthday. The price was reasonable and the horses were very nice. As part of the birthday package we got to comb and saddle the horses ourselves- this was unexpected but kind of fun and very informative. It was great for my granddaughter (age 7) to see how much work having a horse would be, and to be able to bond a bit with the horse before riding. The scenery was a bit underwhelming and it is a trail ride, but the weather was perfect.All in all, it was a fun day.

Great experience! You don't just get on a horse that is already to go, you get to spend time with the horse by brushing before and after your ride. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable even the young girls that are helping. You can see that the facility and horses are well cared for in fact most of the horses were rescued.

This place is wonderful! My daughter first came here for a birthday party 6 years ago and fell in love. We then started leasing a horse here. When that horse passed away, Ashley (she, her husband and mom run the place) were unbelievably gracious and supportive of our daughter. So much so, that after going through the healing process, we leased another horse. My daughter has learned more at Sunnyside than we ever thought possible and truly loves the place and everyone here!

I completely disagree with the first review. I thought Sunnyside Stables was amazing! They have 75 completely breathtaking acres of land on their property, and all their horses are completely unique. I thought it was very scenic and that Nicole D. should maybe select a different stable if she were going to complain about the view. I also scheduled a birthday party for my daughter a couple years ago or so, and she and I absolutely loved it! Their horses were sweet and weren't stubborn or cross at all and when we rode, and when we scheduled for our five riders (me, my daughter, a few friends), they responded right away and scheduled it. I do have to admit, though, the ride was quite pricey for such a short ride, in my point of view. I think that Sunnyside should probably charge less as it is quite expensive. IMPORTANT:It does say that there is a minimum of 5 children on the website. Quote, "90 Minutes of horseback riding!!Please contact Ashley 651-895-4039 (text is best) for rates and availability.$45.00 per child, birthday child FREE(minimum 5 riders)or [email protected]" - webpage on birthday partiesLast summer, though, my daughter (9 @ party, 10 @ camp) took the summer camp. She said, and voiced this aloud, that she thought that the camp was more geared toward 8-year-olds, rather than the 13-year-old age limit that is said on the site. Apparently there was also a majority of younger kids in her camp and that made it less fun for her because she didn't make very many friends. Her recommendation is for there to be separate camps, one for beginner (6-10) and one for advanced (11-16) or something like that.

I really cannot say enough about Sunnyside stables! I had always heard great things about them from so many people but I experienced it first hand when I enrolled my daughter in horseback riding lessons there. She trains and has worked under Ashley (who helps run the stables) and I cannot describe the confidence, passion and excitement Ashley has cultivated in my daughter! Ashley also runs the camps, trail rides and birthday parties and she gives the girls training and opportunities in leading as junior camp counselors, this has been an invaluable experience my daughter has received that's given her confidence in so many other areas of her life. One of my good friends has been involved in the horse business her whole life, and after talking to my daughter said she must be receiving instruction heads and tails above other stables, knowing what she knew and being taught and trained the things she was. I cannot recommend this stable enough for anyone at any level of riding, riders will reach their potential here and find an awesome community as well!

Questions for stable...do you offer hay ride sleigh rides? What is limit of group # if you do? Thanks. Sorry for single star I'm just seeking info wouldn't allow me to post without rating...potential NEW client

I was less than impressed with the communication, or lack thereof, leading up to our event for a large group. No communication was sent after the initial deposit was sent, including the final amount due or how payment was to be made. I finally followed up for a confirmation on our reservation. The response was "Yes, Confirmed" and nothing else. I arrived with a large group and was told $XXX was due and it needed to be paid with a check - of which I did not have on me. They did not take credit cards and finally said they would take Venmo. Luckily, I was able to find someone with access to our groups Venmo account and was able to make the payment. Otherwise, it sounded like they were not going to let the group ride. As for the actual riding event, the group enjoyed their time.

My young boys weren't sure about horses, especially since we have one they did have a clue. They agreed to sign up for a horse camp, and then later tried to get out of it! LOL. But by then it was a done deal. They went to camp the first day... and they were totally in love with the whole package. Sunnyside gave them a terrific experience the entire week. My boys were sad to leave on the last day, and they would like to continue with lessons. Thank you to Sunnyside for an excellent and safe experience.

Great facilities. Open space for horses. Great instructors who are flexible with lesson times. Accommodates different skill levels of riders.
