We Serve Our Community In Many Ways!
…and people are talking!!
This farm is so much more than just a farm—it’s become our favorite place and truly feels like a home away from home. The owners, their wonderful children, and the incredible staff pour their hearts into creating unforgettable experiences. Whether it’s riding lessons, the Friday Chicken Tender Club, rodeos, camp days, or holiday events, they bring so much joy to our family and the whole community. No matter your age, I can’t recommend it enough. You’ll leave with a heart full of happiness—I promise you won’t be disappointed! 😍❤️
We went to a Halloween event at Autumn’s Gate and it was so cute and very well done. They had games for the kids, a light refreshment area, and the trick-or-treat trail was phenomenal! There was so much effort put into the trail, with decorations everywhere, music throughout, clear and easy paths to follow, and spectacular scenes with house facades throughout the woods where the kids could knock on doors and say ‘trick or treat’ to be greeted by a friendly witch or even a Bills Mafia Sasquatch (my favorite!). I also loved how they didn’t just give out candy. One stop had apples; another had little ‘critters’. It ended at a ‘Witches Brew’ that mimicked a great hall in a haunted mansion where we had cookies and cider. It was just so well done. We can’t wait to go back again next year!
My daughter and I had the absolute best time at Autumn's Gate! The horses are well taken care of and they are absolutely beautiful, there were smaller animals there as well that we were able to pet. When you go ask for the instructor Rechelle, she is simply amazing. She's very informative and knowledgeable and more importantly she treated my daughter and I like family. Thanks Ro you're the best! We will be returning.
My daughter thoroughly enjoys her riding experience at Autumn’s Gate. Ro is an exceptionally talented instructor, she has a passion and a natural gift for horseback riding training.
By Far The GREATEST Experience We Have Ever Had !!! We Planned My Bestfriends Proposal Here And The Staff Was Amazing ! Ms Ro Was The Best ! She Was Very Helpful , Caring , And HILARIOUS! Definitely Will Be Coming Back Just To Ride The Horses ! 10 Out Of 10 Would HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! Thank You very Much Autumn Gate Staff Please keep up the amazing work ❤️
I love Autumns Gate. We have been going for a few years now and plan to stay. To is an excellent teacher and so knowledgeable.
I recently started taking lessons here and the experience has been great! Ro has been a great instructor.
My son is 6, and we have been coming to Autumn’s Gate for two summers now. Everyone is always understanding, caring and professional. He had an amazing lesson with Miss Ro this past weekend that really brought him out of his shell, and honed in on the skills he has been learning! I highly recommend to anyone interested in riding.
We have been going to Autumns Gate for several months! Ro has been an amazing teacher! I’ve seen my daughter’s confidence grow!!Today we brought our two nieces who were extremely nervous. Ro had them riding with confidence in 5 minutes. Everyone was beaming the entire time!Thankful for Ro who encourages courage and confidence in all the kids she comes in contact with🩷
We had a very nice sunset ride and am very thankful for our guide she was great.
This place is ABSOLUTELY incredible!!! My son has been taking lessons here for the past year and a half and his confidence has grown immensely. There is so much to offer for all ages. He is obsessed with chicken club as well as all the animals on this farm. He has become extremely close with Miss Ro during his lessons as she has taught him so much and has helped him through the challenges that come with riding a horse. She is AMAZING!!!! Thank you to all the wonderful staff who have made this place one of a kind. It is our favorite place to go to!!
What an experience!!!! First time going horseback riding and our instructor was amazingggggggggg. I was so scared but she made me feel at ease she was so sweet and full of life 💝I can’t wait to come back ,next time with my boys for another amazing experience she took us down the trail and the view was beautiful ! I had the pleasure of riding with Ariel that beautiful girl 😍 if I could give them more stars I would !Just book with her Nowwww you won’t regret it 😍Super close to buffalo and they throw birthday parties 🥳 like hellooooo Thank You Autumns Gate See you guys soon 🤞🏽
Amazing experience! My child was really nervous at first being his first time in a horse. After Rose encouraged him and helped him feel confident, he was riding like he does this all the time. Beautiful horses, friendly helpful people! Will definitely be back.
Miss Ro is awesome! My husband went riding for the first time and was apprehensive. He was instantly put st ease and enjoyed his experience SO much. Thank you for doing what you do!
5 stars plus a million. Autumn’s Gate has been absolutely amazing to my special needs adult son. Always pushes him to be everything he can be but with careful, expert guidance. I could not recommend more. This place is something special.
Riding with Coach Ro is a terrific experience! My young daughter and I get to ride together and have fun learning both English and Western. Ro’s use of humor and guidance make this a great learning experience.
The best! Ro the trainer is so helpful and nice! I hadn't ridden in 4 years so I was a little nervous and rusty but she made it worry-free. I’m definitely coming back!
My daughter has been asking to ride a horse for awhile now. Today, she had her first lesson, and it was a great experience. She is 7 and can get very overexcited and be difficult, but Ro was very good at getting her to focus when it was important and keeping it fun! She was also kind enough to show my daughter the petting zoo area even though it was late.
My daughter has been begging to take lessons for a while now. Someone recommended we try Autumns Gate and we did. We absolutely LOVE it. Not only was my daughter welcomed with open arms, I was as well and got on a horse. Ro is amazing!! She took the time to teach us before jumping on and all throughout the lesson is very attentive and makes it fun!! I highly recommend ❤️🐴
We just took our 3 year old daughter to the toddler and me class and it was amazing! My daughter tends to be very shy and clams up in group settings, but the staff was so good with her and she was laughing and smiling the whole time! We will absolutely be regulars at Autumn's gate!
This place was so fun. My husband and I used to ride over in Mendon but hadn't found a place here since we had moved. This is definitely our new place. Even though we have ridden quite often we took a friend who hadn't been in 20 years. They can accommodate people of all skill levels. The horses were great and the staff made it so fun. Ro was our trail guide and she was not only extremely knowledgeable but very sweet, she really made it a great experience. The fields are beautiful and it was such a relaxing ride. Can't wait to go back
This place is amazing . The staff are so nice . It’s over all the best place to experience horse riding.
We did a family group ride for my 3 and 5 year olds when we were up in the Niagara area and Ro and the whole team were fantastic! We had a wonderful time, they were incredibly easy to work with, and it was the highlight of our trip. And, as a huge bonus for me, Ro took photos and videos for us so I didn’t even need to try (which is a good thing since I’m not an experienced rider). It was perfect and I could not recommend it more highly! The farm was beautiful; the horses were all lovely and named after Disney characters which my girls loved. Without a doubt if we lived in the area we would go to camp there and ride there often.
Ms Ro Is the best…. My kiddos have learned so much from her. Their confidence has flown through the roof because of her and are so comfortable with her. Can’t say enough about Ro!!!
Had a great time. Ro and her helpers were super friendly and down to Earth. Before I knew it our time was up. We rode Elsa, Belle, and Apollo.
First time experience for my wife and kids. Out of all of the things we have ever done and places we have been over the years this was one of the best most fun memorable experiences. Our lesson instructor Ro was amazing and went above and beyond!!! Everyone there was so welcoming, personable, informative and helpful.We can’t wait to go back!
My kids and I enjoyed a beautiful and fun trail ride with Ro! Looking forward to coming back soon.
This is a great place for my daughter to get out into nature and build bonds with the many animals. She’s learning so much about the horses and how to care for them. Absolutely one of the best choices we’ve made!
Our instructor was both knowledgeable and fun! My daughter has always been scared of farm animals due to their sheer size. Our instructor always had a smile and was quick to show/demonstrate how to interact with the animals with a smile and a joke. It really made my kid feel at ease. She also gave us the responsibility of untying and stowing all the tackle, which I think was a really nice touch. It gave us a little responsibility with the fun of a sunset ride, and it’s exactly how I would’ve given my daughter the lesson if it was my job. She really knocked it out of the park for us and I’m going to look forward to my next Lake Ontario vacation just to visit here again.
Autumn's Gate is a hidden gem. I am thrilled to have found a place so close to home. From the moment I got there everyone was so friendly and informative. Haley (the owner) got me signed up right away. She introduced me to Ro (Rechelle), and it was all over from there. She's friendly, outgoing, knowledgeable, and really got me excited to get started. My first ride was a learning experience. Ro was patient and was great to learn from. I can't recommend this beautiful place with amazing people enough. I'm excited for my next ride! Thank you, Ro and Hayley, for this opportunity!
I have been bringing my special needs brother here for months and I couldn’t say good enough things regarding Ro and the whole program. Great place!
Did a riding trail today for my daughter’s birthday had a wonderful experience and our guide Ro was fantastic!!! We will be back
My son attended camp at Autumn’s Gate this summer and it was a wonderful experience for him! He played and rode horses in a beautiful environment for weeks. The staff understood his unique needs and had great insight into making camp fun. After that, we decided to take lessons there which was also amazing in a different way! Ms Ro made the lesson fun and exciting and we can’t wait to do more! We purchased a lesson package and it was a great deal! Very happy we found Autumn’s Gate.
Took my daughter and she had a blast riding and learning a couple tricks
It was so much fun it was my first time riding I didn’t know what to expect but the workers were so nice and the horses were so sweet
Took my son to Autumn's Gate over the weekend, my son, husband and I all had a wonderful time. Ro. Is the best but all the staff were incredibly professional and kind. What a great experience, we will definitely be back! Thank you!
I wanted to bless my son and his family from Michigan with a horseback riding experience. I have two grandsons(2&10). The staff there were so welcoming,friendly and helpful. I want to personally thank the realistic, energizing, and amazing RO for making our experience calming,exciting, and fun.THANK YOU SO MUCH! What you have tapped into at Autumns Gate is AMAZING. Continue being a blessing to others they way you have blessed me and my family.WE WILL BE BACK!!God Bless🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
My granddaughter has become an amazing rider and is now going to be involved in barrel racing competition shout out to Ro and ALL the excellent professional teachers who take pride in teaching each and every client. She has grown not only in horse riding but in all the responsibilities that comes with it and the confidence she has obtained is priceless. The staff is committed to all who come here and to all the animals. Can't thank them enough for my granddaughters growth!! God Bless Autumn's Gate, the owners,all the staff and each and every client that comes here and will come here!!
Great experience for grandkids at Autumn’s Gate. Ms Ro is the bomb. She helped our grandson overcome his fear of riding and helped our granddaughter to really do well with only two lessons. Will be back
My review is long overdue! My littles have been coming here for the last two years! They always look forward to their horseback riding adventure day! They have so much fun and it is awesome seeing them learn and do more and more with each time we come! Ms Ro is absolutely amazing we love love love her! The kids ask and talk about her at home quite often. Ms Ro has instilled a ton of confidence in them and makes it a great experience overall!
Miss Ro was great! My kids had the best time and experience! We will be back! Amazing place, horses and staff!
I took my out of town nephew riding as a gift for his 10th birthday. He has never been riding before and really wanted to go. I thought I booked a trail rising session, but it turned out to be in a pen. That was ultimately better for us because neither had any experience and that gave the instructor, Ro, and her assistants a better opportunity to teach us about the horses and how to ride in a more controlled environment. They were extremely kind and patient and my nephew had the time of his life. He's been talking about it nonstop and already asked if we could do it again for his birthday next year. It was a wonderful experience. The only advice I'd give is to make sure you confirm if it's a trail ride or inside a pen.
Went for the first time, the kids had so much fun, and they got a lot of riding in, and we couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. Ro was amazing and so nice!
What a gift to children this horse riding farm is. We are so grateful we were sent this way after asking our Facebook community for a recommendation. Ms. Amanda and Ms. Ro are the best!!!! My daughter loves everything about it.
Hands down one of the greatest experiences of my life so far❤️❤️ I hadn’t rode a horse in 20 yrs & Ro guided me perfectly to get into the comfort zone of riding again. The horses are well kept & taken care of. Whether you have never ridden or maybe have a child with special needs this is definitely a place to experience . If you have a love for animals like me there’s no doubt in my mind that you will come back for more great memories there.. Thanks again Ro for being the amazing person that you are❤️
Great farm, family oriented. Costs are more than reasonable for services.
As an adult just looking to get into riding for fun it was perfect! Trainer Ro was friendly, helpful, and patient. Great experience! Definitely going back and would recommend others as well.
Ro is an amazing instructor and helped to make us feel comfortable for our first lesson. Looking forward to going back!!
Ro was absolutely amazing. She provided us with tips throughout our ride which enhanced the experience. I will definitely come back the next time we visit Niagara. If you are looking for a great horseback riding experience/lessons (also provided for handicapped children), Autumn's Gate is the place to go.
Miss Ro is fantastic! My sister receives lessons from her weekly. While visiting my sister last week, I had the pleasure of joining her for an adventurous trail ride led by Miss Ro. I, too, lesson weekly at a barn near my home. Miss Ro is knowledgeable, caring, and full of life! She is always having fun and ensuring her students are doing the same! I can’t wait for the next time I have the opportunity to ride with her! 🥰
Ro and Julia were absolutely excellent! Great for all levels. My 87 year old grandmother was able to ride with confidence thanks to how accommodating and trained the staff was. Would recommend to anyone of all levels!
Kim and our family celebrated her 10th birthday on the farm. For many children ,it was a first time riding experience. The staff was amazing and interacted with the children well. They were also kind to our family members as they moved about the farm . My father who originally started the arrangements was even mentioned, though he recently passed away. Thank you for making us feel at home.
We LOVED coming to Autumn’s Gate. At first we weren’t sure about the place, but by the start of the lesson with Ro, we were blown away. Her method of teaching is straight to the point and out of the box all at once. My daughter has had riding lessons, but none like the one with Rochelle. We will be coming back very soon. ❤️
Had an amazing day at Autumn gate today, took my daughter for the first time , and absolutely had a wonderful time! And the environment is such a good vibe! And good people!! Ro her instructor was a blast, and had an amazing time with her ! Will definitely make this an every week event, and recommend anyone trying to get up on a horse this is the place!! 100000%%%
Great place to go! My daughter has a blast riding. Friendly, fun, and safe place to learn.
My kids had an amazing day at Autumns Gate! This was their first time riding a horse and they were so proud of their accomplishment. They got to pet other animals, hold bunnies and guinea pigs, play games, have a bonfire, crafts and more. They came home completely filthy, happy and full of stories! It will definitely be an experience that stays with them for a long time! Haley was so helpful and kind! I would definitely send my kids back to Autumns Gate again!!
I went there for the first time a few weeks ago and worked with the instructor Roe. She was AMAZING. she was so knowledgeable about riding. She also makes you feel so comfortable. Had a great time and would highly recommended her to anyone !
My husband surprised me with a horseback riding experience at Autumn’s Gate today; it was our first time there and we absolutely loved our adventure together. We had the privilege of Ro being our instructor and she was absolutely delightful, insightful, informative and just a true joy to be around. She most definitely knows her stuff, she rode Elsa (I may have spelled that wrong) and we got to see her skills in action as Elsa was quite stubborn hahahaha. If you’ve never gone before or never even rode a horse i encourage you to go and request Ro as your instructor. I most certainly will be back and can’t wait to do so. Thank you so much for the great time :)All our best Tammy & hubby
I had a horseback riding lesson for the first time yesterday and I absolutely loved it. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. I definitely had a wonderful experience and will be returning!
The owners and staff are great. My daughter is enjoying the chicken & pony clubs, and she can't wait for spring camp. Great place for the whole family. Go for a tour check out all the animals. They also do birthday parties .
My daughter had her first lesson with Miss Ro today. She had an amazing time and cannot wait to go back. She felt welcome right away and was extremely comfortable. So glad we found Autumn's Gate!!
My granddaughter has only been there for two lessons and she loves it .her teacher is really great
I went there for my buddies daughters birthday party, and it was an awesome experience. So many cool and unique animals. All the instructors were intelligent and kind. Would highly recommend this to anyone who asks.
Such an amazing place to take the family, everyone is extremely patient with your children. The horses are all well behaved and so kind to the kids. Really a beautiful and special place.
We started taking lessons here a few weeks ago and couldn't be happier. Miss Ro is so welcoming and wonderful with the kids. Having two kiddo's who are at very different levels of riding, Miss Ro does such a fantastic job letting our more confident rider spread her wings while offering her support and assurance to our more timid rider all at the same time. We HIGHLY recommend Miss Ro and Autumn's Gate! 💜
2nd time riding, 4pm class. Ro is an amazing instructor. Very patient. There were 4 people who were supposed to be there at 2 but showed up 2 hrs late. Ro added them to our class seemlessly and still made time for each rider.
I hadn't been in a horse in 4 decades, great instructions, felt natural...absolutely beautiful horses n kind staff...what a great way to end 2033 n begin 2024!!!
My daughter has had 2 lessons with Ms. Roe. She has taught her so much in that short period of time. My daughter loves that she pushes her to get out of her comfort zone at the same time listens to her concerns and directs her on exactly how to do it. Ms. Roe always makes sure that my daughter is ok and ready to try stuff but if she doesn't want to Ms. Roe doesn't push to much.
Miss. Ro did a wonderful job! Very helpful, was a great teacher, and a pleasant person! The animals are all well taken care of!
It was our first time trying something like this and it was a great experience. The teachers are friendly and knowledgeable and my 7 year old daughter was riding and having fun on her very first lesson. They offer affordable package deals for riding
We just started going to Autumn’s Gate because my daughter needed somewhere with an indoor arena for the winter. We love it there! Everyone is so friendly and easy going. She gets to ride multiple horses and is able to practice her barrel runs. Ms Ro is a great instructor and seems to love what she does! Highly recommend!!!!
My daughters' have been taking riding lessons weekly at Autumn's Gate since September. They love going each week. Through their lessons they have developed a love for the sport but also have built confidence in themselves. Miss Ro is an amazing instructor. We appreciate her time and dedication! Yesterday we had their birthday party there as well. It was a wonderful experience and they had a great time showing their friends their favorite place.
This is an amazing place! The riding lessons are extremely reasonable, the Halloween party is outta this world, and Jimmy, Hailey and the whole crew are wonderful. It's a magical experience for kids.
Loved our experience. Went with my husband on our honey moon. Got to run and Trot. Very patient and helpful. We were already experienced to a degree so we got to go faster. We got to chit chat a lot with her and her daughter and it was a great experience. They have tons of horses all of which are kind and beautiful. They have the cutest mini donkey too
