beach rider
I was gifted a Hampton Beach ride for my birthday, and the whole experience was amazing! 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! Fall 2022
Girl Scout troop leader
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! Summer 2022
student rider
We had a semi private group beginner lesson and the experience is great! They have a lot of training horses to choose from.
They are all very friendly and easy to cue and sweet. Jan knows how to teach and made the class full of fun. She also took a lot of photos and videos for us. Summer 2022
trail rider
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!

Thank you so much Jan. You are amazing and your love and knowledge of your horses is incredible. I so wish I lived near you as I would be at your farm often! It will be a memory I will always have. Next time I come up to visit Diane I will be in touch for a ride. Thanks again, Kelly.

trail rider & guest
The horse-riding experience was a gift for my girlfriend. She and I never rode, but love horses. We took a lesson. 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! We had a great time!! Highly recommend for anyone who wants a super fun experience! Summer 2023

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. Spring 2023

Fantastic Day! Jan is the best. Safe, exciting and fun. Spring 2023
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 Hampton Beach 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!! Spring 2023

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. Spring 2021
Crane Beach
My daughter Mila had a great time riding Crane Beach in Ipswich. We met at North Road Farm where Jan put Mila to work right away. She was able to help tack up, prep her friend for the ride and load him up into the trailer. Then, for her to have almost two hours on the sand and shallow waters was the icing on the cake. Mila was in heaven. Thank you for a fun memorable day. Mila will not forget! spring 2024
Grandmother
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. spring 2024
beach rider and volunteer
What a great experience! Both the pre-ride lesson and beach ride far exceeded expectations! Jan and Beth were excellent trainers and guides. They were patient, informative and hands-on. The horses are truly gentle giants. Great temperaments and styles for novice or experienced riders. Highly recommend! Can’t brag enough about North Road Farm! spring 2024
lesson & beach ride
I thoroughly enjoyed this experience! The initial training done by Jan was fantastic. I thought I knew enough about riding horses, but I learned SO much more and Jan was very patient with me. Grooming the horse, understanding what they need and being able to feed them apples and carrots was great. The ride on the beach was the best ending to a wonderful day. Thank you, Jan! Laurie. spring 2024
lesson & beach
My husband suggested that I do this ride. It was on my bucket list for the longest time. What an AMAZING adventure. Jan and her team were patient and very knowledgeable. I loved every moment. I would highly recommend North Road Farm. Barbara McCormick. spring 2024
trail ride
I have been looking for a place that does trail rides not “follow the leader” style, and North Road Farm was perfect. I loved my ride with Jan, she gave me fun knowledge about horses and brushed up on skills I hadn’t used in awhile. If you’re looking to learn and ride, highly recommend! spring 2024

We had a wonderful beach ride. North Road Farm was a fabulous experience. They went above and beyond. Jan spent time teaching us all about horsemanship before we eveb got on the horses and her two Assisants Ambrosia and David were fabulous. Courtney was wonderful in assisting us in our reservation. We would definitey ride with North Road Farm again! November 2025

Always a lovely trail ride with Jan! My daughter and her friends went yesterday and they had a great time! We've been going for years for beach rides and trail rides and my daughter always loves it. Jan is so great to work with - definitely recommend!!! August 2025
beach rider
A dream come true! Wonderful people and great well behaved horses. Best day ever!
Jan already knew my name and immediately welcomed me to the crew and other riders. She is very knowledeable and responsible about horses.
The cantering on the beach was a true dream come true! I grew up riding horses in Switzerland. The connection with the horses are special!
Thank you for the most wonderful horse back ride to be fondly rememberd. April 2025
North Road Farm gave our daughter an amazingly full experience for their 16th birthday. The day included helping at the barn and learning about the barn, horses, and business at North Road. We helped load the horses onto the trailer and then took a long, open ride at Crane’s Beach that was truly a dream come true. It was above and beyond our expectations and we’re so appreciative to Jan for leading this epic adventure! We hope to get up to North Road again sometime to try out the trail rides. April 2025
trail rider
I enjoyed my trail ride very much! My horse ( Fendler) was wonderful on the trail! Jan gave me some pointers which were very helpful. October 2024
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at North Road Farm. We booked a trail ride to serve as an intro to horses and horseback riding for our 6 year old son. After grooming the beautiful horses, our ride led us along the farm road by North Road Farm and back again. Jan was a great coach; in our short time with her we learned a lot. We hope to be back again to build on what we learned during our initial experience. Thank you! July 2024
