“We just loved it”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 October 2007

From the UK, my husband and I are in our early sixties, and our adult daughter came too - all of us total non-riders but curious to find out about horses. Now we are spoiled. We were given riding lessons, a whole day learning horsemanship skills, a bare-back ride and two lovely simple trail rides, all expertly supervised in our 3 day stay at this beautiful, escape-from-it-all ranch. The horses were fantastic - gentle, friendly, well schooled. Everybody gets cajoled into throwing sticks for the dogs. For the experienced rider, looking for some real peace and beauty, this is a must.

Tom and Clarissa, with their young European helpers, were so very hospitable. Accommodation was simple and comfortable, food was healthy, tasty and plentiful. This place has a special set of values. It probably caters best for adults and small groups. For us it was a shot in the dark, but more than lived up to our hopes. Wonderful - loved it - want to go back.

  • Liked — This was a ranch and all about horses - everything was well organised and cared for.
  • Disliked — Can't think of anything.

“Tranquility & hospitality”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 August 2006

people found this review helpful

This Ranch feels like it is in the most remote location possible. Set about 45 minutes drive from the nearest town, Moondance is tranquility itself and very well appointed.

The hosts Tom & Clarissa are extremely welcoming and warm. The food is first rate. The chalets are rustic, quaint and totally adequate. The riding - for all abilities - is superb. The hosts are very safety conscious and focused on their guests having a complete riding experience, not simply a trek. However, as a guest you can choose to do as little or as much as you like.

I would recommend this experience to anyone who is interested in 'getting it away from it all' and doing something different.
