Whoa! Since we last visited this little ranch hidden in the back country of Fort Wilderness campgrounds, it has grown into a new stable. How MAGICAL!! From the old stable to the new stable what a difference. It is very airy and open. The displays are better lit and a bit more on the open side. Definitely a place to visit when you visit Disney World as a whole. You may not spend a whole lot of time at this location but something worth seeing if you want to see the horses used in the parks.
This newly redesigned area houses a huge horse and pony stable. They allow visitors at no cost (yay!) in certain areas of the stable during certain hours (it was 10-5 while we were there). You can see (but not pet!) the beautiful horses. There are Percherons, Belgians, Clydesdales, Shetland ponies, just to name a few. The staff are there doing their stable duties but are more than willing to talk with you and answer any questions. There is a restroom there and a small room that showcases the history of the horses and Walt Disney. This is also where the famous Walt Disney Calliope is kept. You can press a button and hear it play. We always enjoy visiting these majestic horses while we are at Fort Wilderness.
Very very nice people, horses are so kind and they treat them rlly well and the ride was very nice and peacful
Me and my wife had the best ride with dani and tracy ! They are amazing trail guides.
Beautiful facility with amazing horses. You can walk the stables, and occasionally the blacksmith is working
Beautiful new location, now open!
Super fun activity thats outside the regular Disney experience. The horseback riding is very reasonably priced and youll get about a 45 ride through Disneys conservation area. You may see deer, I did. Its great if youve never been on a horse before, its just a gentle walk. However, its a little slow paced if you have any equestrian experience, but its still fun. You cant take anything with you, but I did learn a wearable camera might be ok, it just cant interfere with your hands. Overall its fun and I definitely recommend trying it.
Pony rides are $8 it is only one mile so maybe 5 minutes but it was nice the only thing is that I think the worker should walk the pony and the parent should be allowed next to the child just in case during the ride. My older kid who is 12 yrs old was too tall for the pony so he would have to ride the horses which run about every hour but those are $55.
My three year old son loved the pony ride. The staff was very friendly. We didnt encounter any mosquitoes or horse flies so that was also a plus!
Awesome that you can go see the horses that they use during shows and events on Main Street. One of the horses being most known for the Headless Horseman ride through the park during Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party. It’s just really cool to see them on property and that they are always out and about at the Campground.
We surprised a family member for her Birthday 9/7/2019. She definitely enjoys horseback riding. We all enjoyed ourselves. Our horses names was Onyx, Major, Vegas, and Latte and both of our cast member Rebecca and Deanna.Were very grateful to Rebecca and Deanna for their professionalism, exceptional cast members representing for Disneys Company.We will be back again soon.
Highly recommend! Great moment with my daughter.
This building has been demolished. They are building a new barn across the street. Cannot currently vist this area (11-21-19)
Lovely place love seeing the horse would work there if had job
I did the Horse Riding Trail here and it was very fun! I had a Horse named Jesse and I loved him too! You have to have a Reservation in order to this, but its worth it.
Fun place to catch a horse for a slow poke ride.
An amazing experience and staff. Cast had the process down to a science. Really enjoyed the 45 minutes horseback riding at Disneys Fort Wilderness what great views. It was a joy riding Late made the whole thing easy and comfortable.
Horses were very tame, didn’t do a single unpredictable thing, but at the same time listened to comands. Great horses and staff. Saw some deer, too. Simple line trail ride, not too exciting.
I was looking forward to this ride and was very much let down when they cancelled because of a rainy forecast... It didnt even rain. They ask you to report you weight (that part I get) but beware they dont believe you cuz they make you stand on a scale. Insulting.
The check-in process was fast and very easy. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. We will definitely be back!
Wait is this place part of River Country?P.S. River Country was the best until the accident
The Tri Circle D ranch is at Disneys Fort Wilderness Campground. Here you can join a group and go horse back riding. And while your there explore everything else the campground has to offer.
Great Location with beautiful horses, the draft horses are huge!!
My pet emu ate all of the horses but it was very fun two
Love this place. Five dollar pony rides for kids up to 48 tall. Very friendly staff. You can watch a blacksmith shoe a horse and meet all the horses of Disney.
Was a lot of fun a nice easy ride and friendly castmembers
Came here to get my kid onto a horse and it was really easy. They have a platform to make it easy to get on and off the horses, and the horses have been doing this for so long it would be really difficult to get one to do something different than what they are trained to do. We had a good time.
Not a fan of animals being used for carriage rides or horseback riding.
Very down to earth, very fun, particularly when the weather is awesome in late Feb, early March.Edited: keep an eye out for hidden mickeys on the horses hindquarters (as pictured) kids love hunting down hidden mickeys
Fun family horse back riding.
Very friendly staff awesome experience. Only advice just be sure to go to the Circle D Ranch at the front of the park not to the back.
Horseback riding was terrific.
The Headless Horseman experience was awesome
Great place to visit!
This place is awesome.
A must see is the Return to Sleepy Hollow event.
