M G2024-03-17We went to Rusty Jade on our girls weekend- we were a group of 6, ages 4-73. We did a 1 hour horse experience, where we each got to ride, brush the horses, take some great pics. Had a blast!!
TA CAPP2024-03-07Sometimes we forget to explore activities in our own backyard! Took a couple friends out to explore Caledon area and celebrate a milestone birthday- discovered Rusty Jade Ranch! We wanted to do something outdoors - and horseback riding through the winter trails was a great idea. The Team at RJR did not disappoint . They were quick to respond and very accommodating to the date and times that I requested- booking us a private trail ride. The horses were beautiful, our hosts were very friendly, and our guide was Cowboy Brad! He made us laugh :) and give us a little history of the land, the farm and his dogs! As beginner riders - we had a great time, also bought farm fresh eggs. They took pictures for us and sent some to my email afterwards! RJR is only 45min away from Toronto (near Caledon), so a great trip away from the city- to enjoy a slower pace. Being close to Caledon- meant you can grab lunch or coffee before or after the ride. Thank you to the folks at Rusty Jade!
Jennifer Boucher2024-02-13I participated in an Equine-Assisted Learning session at Rusty Jade Ranch last week. My team and I had so much fun together and I highly recommend this to others looking for a way to bring a team or colleagues together to forge new relationships, team-build and simply have a wonderful time with the horses and other amazing animals at the ranch. The instructor, Kelly, is an amazing guide throughout the journey and her staff are very friendly and professional. This includes the horses too! They are well-trained and gentle. Throughout the session, she works with each team to help you understand and gain insight into the various ways team members approach problems, team work that builds on one another’s strengths, and handling difficult situations that are outside of one’s comfort zone (especially with a huge horse beside you when you are blind-folded going through an obstacle course!). All in all, a great experience!

I was impressed with all the wild animals around the farm like turkeys, deers, rabbits, birds and raccoons. Come and have a great day with your family and friends
Maria Orsini2024-02-05Participating in the Night with the Horses Event was an amazing experience. The environment radiated safety and comfort, allowing me to forge a bond of trust with both my partner and the horse we were assigned. Beyond being an immensely positive and enriching endeavor, the event turned out to be incredibly fun. The sense of accomplishment derived from successfully completing tasks alongside my partner and horse was genuinely gratifying. I wholeheartedly recommend Rusty Jade Ranch and their distinctive events to anyone in search of a team-building exercise.
