My granddaughters and I love North Road Farm. Jan has taken such care to offer safe and informative riding practices as well as learning about the horses themselves. And we have FUN!! The girls enjoy the games and I love to see them progress in their riding skills.

The horse-riding experience was a gift for my girlfriend. She and I never rode horses before, but love horses. We took a lesson with Jan before our ride, then we had a chance to spend time grooming and feeding treats to the horses. Jan was so thorough and patient and taught us what we needed to know to have a safe and fun ride!The ride was awesome! The horses were so sweet and friendly, and the trails and farms surrounding the horse farm are a perfect setting for a great experience. We had a great time!! Highly recommend for anyone who wants a super fun experience!

A wonderful horseback riding experience , such nice experience going to the beach - weather wasn’t sunny when I did the beach experience, but it was still lovely to get out and about! Jan the owner is very nice and knowledgeable and the horses are all great

Beach riding with Jan was incredible!! In fact, the whole experience was incredible, from meeting at the barn and spending time getting the horses ready to riding along the almost empty HamptonBeach on wonderful, well-trained horses. Jan dedicated the whole afternoon to making sure it was a good, safe experience, matching us with horses that were a good fit and getting a feel for our riding. Once she was confident in our abilities, we were able to really enjoy the wind in our faces along the edge of the water. Thank you Jan for a dream-come-true day!!

I've only had a few lessons so far since not having ridden a horse in almost 20 years. Jan has been great, and my horse buddy Fendler is amazing. Can't wait for many many more lessons and showings!!!!

I was gifted a Hampton Beach ride for my birthday, and the whole experience was amazing! Scheduling was easy, and Courtney and Jan really took the time to understand my horse experience and skill to personalize the whole day. Before the ride there was plenty of time at the barn to groom and connect with the horse. Jan was so generous in sharing her knowledge and expertise to help improve my riding and horsemanship. My dream was to canter on the beach and with Jan’s support and the amazing JaFar, I did it and have these memories to last a lifetime! Overall I felt so welcomed, like a member of the barn for the day, and really enjoyed spending time with Jan, Sam & the horses. Thank you for a beautiful day and experience all around. I’ll be back for a trail ride or lesson, even though it’s a long drive for me.

Undoubtedly a 5 star experience. This was my first time ever riding and Jan made the entire learning process so easy with her direction and encouragement! The trail we rode was beautiful and fun, and my girlfriend and I will definitely be going again in the future!

Troop 51350 earned their Junior level horse riding badge on our visit to Northwood Farms. The girls loved learning about the feedings, care and saddles for the horses. Their favorite part was riding and the wished that part was longer. Highly recommend!

North Road Farm is a very well run stables. Jan is the kind a of instructor you would want to teach your kids. Kind, patient and with an emphasis on proper techniques. The horses are great also and very well cared for.

I took a beach ride with Jan on Sunday and it was the most amazing experience I have had while riding. The horses were so well behaved and collected on the beach and seemed to really love the water. Even though I have riden with Jan before and her horses it was still exciting and a new experience that everyone should have a some point.

I wanted to schedule a trail ride for myself while visiting New Hampshire. I contacted Jan an entire month prior to my visit and told her the date I would be in town and would like to ride. I also spoke with her on the phone in great detail about my riding experience, the date, etc. Per her request, I filled out the waiver on her website as well. When the time came- my husband and I booked an AIRBNB and made sure it was close to Jans stable. For days I called and texted her with no response back. I had packed my English riding boots which took up a lot of space in my suitcase. At 1:00 in the afternoon on the day I was supposed to go riding, Jan finally messaged me back and told me "she needed to check her schedule" and "would get back to me later" in regards to my ride. Later when? That day? The day was already nearly over and due to her poor lack of communication I had to make super last minute arrangements somewhere else. To sum things up- I am completely disappointed by Jans unprofessionalism and being someone that also owns and runs an equestrian facility- I am shocked by how poor her communication was. I was led on for a month only to be let down the day of. I do not recommend this facility.

After looking at other stables I choose North Road Farm. The horses are very well cared for. Jan is great. She teaches the kids to be hands on, from grooming, to tacking up. Her style of instruction is fun with an emphasis on proper technique. She is the kind of person you want to teach your kids
