Mountain Creek Ranch - Bancroft, Ontario

We recently had the pleasure of experiencing horseback riding lessons and a trail ride at Mountain Creek Ranch, and it was truly exceptional! From the moment we arrived, Robyn and Harry made us feel incredibly welcome with their warmth and hospitality. Their genuine passion for animals shines through in everything they do, making the entire experience both enjoyable and educational.

As complete novices to horseback riding, we were a bit apprehensive at first, but Robyn, Harry, and their friendly ranch helpers quickly put us at ease. They were incredibly accommodating, patiently guiding us through every step of the process and ensuring we felt comfortable around the horses. Their enthusiasm for sharing the history of each animal on the ranch added a personal touch that made our visit even more special.

The late afternoon trail ride was a highlight of our visit. The serene beauty of the landscape combined with the tranquil pace of the ride created a perfect escape from everyday life. Robyn and Harry took numerous pictures throughout our adventure, capturing moments that will become cherished memories for years to come.

Mountain Creek Ranch stands out not only for its stunning scenery and well-maintained facilities but also for the exceptional people who run it. Robyn and Harry's dedication to their animals and their guests creates an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend Mountain Creek Ranch to anyone looking to connect with nature and experience the joy of horseback riding.

I stumbled upon Mountain Creek Ranch in 2022, and my what a treat that was. Robyn and Harry, the owners, are so kind, knowledgeable, and generous. They are attentive, both to their riders and all their beautiful animals. Riding with Robyn truly changed my perspective on horsemanship and riding -- for the better.

I've frequently recommended MCR to many friends and fellow horse lovers, as the two hour trail ride I did back in 2022 was incredible. It was unlike any trail ride I'd ever done, and it was JUST ME, the owner and one of her working students. We rode up the mountain, through water, where the horses happily played around. It was magical. The horses are clearly well loved and cared for, and are genuinely happy and relaxed.

I went again for another trail ride this summer and Robyn did not disappoint. She truly cares about your experience and will do what she can to make it memorable and unique.

All in all, I can't recommend this place enough. The horses, the pigs, the goats, the dogs, chickens... All roaming freely on their beautiful property... What a truly awesome place to see.

Thank you, Robyn and Harry, for amazing experiences.

We loved this place. Two adults went for a trail ride that was preceded by a quick lesson. There are so many well cared for animals, cute ponies, mini ponies and a pig. The grounds are BEAUTIFUL. The staff are chill, friendly, safety-minded and helpful. This visit massively exceeded my expectations and even as a novice I had a fantastic experience riding. I will absolutely be back.

We chose to ride her whilst visiting Canada from the UK and had such an amazing time. We were a party of 3, two with a lot of previous experience but one with absolutely none. Robyn and Harry were totally accommodating and patient throughout and really made the experience awesome. The ponies were clearly extremely well trained and cared for meaning theit temperament was exemplary. Big smiles 🙂

The horseback trail rides at Mountain Creek Ranch are an amazing experience. Robyn and Harry are really great and extremely knowledgeable. Their experience with horses got us riding horseback in 30 minutes. We will definitely be back.

we had an amazing time. Robyn was very knowledgeable, loves what she does, she considers all her animals as family.
We booked for 2hrs of riding which includes a tour of her farmland. Feed the animals as well holding them, which kids really enjoyed doing. This ended up being an all afternoon event,so be sure not to have any plans. Although we didn't get to ride for 2 hrs due to my daughter not feeling well it was an amazing experience. COLE a very friendly handsome young man was extremely helpful for my friend who is a large woman, was her field support,which means he walked the trail beside her to make her feel comfortable with a smile.
Sarah knew what she was doing trailed behind to make sure all horses and riders were ok. Donna was our greeter,she did the tour of the animals and got us prepared for the ride.. Donna loves to talk so be patient she's informative.This was my family first experience and they felt very comfortable and confident by the time we rode off. THANK YOU Robyn and Harry for sharing g your home with us. P.s Robyn send pictures please

Went for a trail ride with my mom for Thanksgiving and we loved it so much. Harry and Robyn are so nice and funny and extremely helpful. The horses were so gentle we had no problems. All the other animals were so sweet and fun too! We didn't feel rushed atall we got there and just chatted for awhile and looked around the farm. The ride was so relaxing and the trails were incredible so gorgeous in fall! We didn't feel for a second that they were just taking us for our 1.5 hour trail ride so we could get out. It was so laid back and nice. We will definitely have to make this place a new tradition!

A definite must if you're in the area... or not! My boyfriend brought me here for our anniversary and we had a blast! Robyn and her daughter were extremely welcoming and went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience. They showed us around the ranch, went to their petting zoo and even got to hold tiny baby bunnies! We got to ride Arwin and Samson who were incredible ponies. They had so much endurance throughout the trail ride and took great care of us. Definitely recommend Mountain Creek Ranch to anyone who's looking to have a great time. Will definitely be going back!!
