of course the animals.

On Saturday,
October 15th,
my family had the pleasure of visiting
the Castle for the first time and worked
some horseback riding into our schedule
and in between raindrops. What a great
way to spend some time with the family
and the great outdoors! Isaac was our
WONDERFUL guide and immediately put us
at ease as did your beautiful horses
(Montana, Daisy, Colt and Candy). We
can’t wait to do this again and look
forward to reserving some time with
Isaac next year as the day was perfect
and we wouldn’t change a thing. Isaac
was kind enough to bring Zeus out so we
could meet him up close and personal.
Your entire operation is nothing short
of topnotch!
Many, many thanks!

"My friends
introduced me to Castle In The Clouds
last year and the beautiful setting that
nestles the barn and horses. As a novice
rider, I embarked upon signing up for a
trail ride. Little did I know that I
would be hooked! Not only with the
majestic views and magical mountain top
trails for hiking and riding, but with
the experience of riding horses that are
so well cared for and a joy to ride. At
the end of the ride, the stable is a
beautiful and peaceful place where you
can interact with the horses. The staff
are so welcoming and friendly that you
can't help but return for more!"

"During my visit to
NH I visited the Castle Horses and had
the best time possible. The place is
wonderful, the welcome I received was
warm and genuine and the horses just
fantastic! I haven't laughed like that
for years. Can' wait to go back on my
next visit."

"What a wonderful
way to spend an afternoon riding
beautiful, gentle horses over shaded
forest trails and
mountain pathways. It is great to
connect with Nature in a peaceful spot.
I look forward to riding again this year
with my family and friends."

"After almost
15 years I decided to go horseback
riding again. I researched many
places in Massachusetts and New
Hampshire, with out much luck. Most
places didn't appeal to me, they
seemed to have many, many
restrictions. The last time I rode
a horse was at a stable in
Massachusetts, it was not a very
nice time. The stable was in a
residential area and not much
scenery. All you could really see
was houses and highways. Then my
nieces suggested I come up to NH and
try Riding in the Clouds on the
estate of the castle. I decided
that I would and boy am I glad they
convinced me! The estate was
beautiful, the stable was clean, the
horses were well fed, healthy and
definitely loved by their owners.
My nieces chose "Maverick" for me to
ride, he was so well behaved and
responded to all my commands.
Riding along the wooded trails and
stream was very soothing and
peaceful, unlike the fast pace of
life that we have created in this
day and age. Any stress that I may
have had was released within 5
minutes of riding Maverick. Had the
best time in a very long time. Plan
on going back every chance I get and
do it again. If you want to get
away from this hectic world....go
horseback riding in the clouds!!!"

Sally Fichet, 66, had a stroke
on 1998. It crippled her. Nearly
her whole right side was
paralyzed, with the exception of
her hip. One of the things she
dearly loved but which she was
told she’d never do again was
riding horses. Thirteen years
later, she proved her
doctors wrong. She rode Sniper,
an older male, but still with
the spirit of youth behind his
gray-green eyes.
With the help of Bob and Isaac
Perry, the staff of Castle in
the Cloud Riding Stables, she
mounted Sniper, who let out a
long, surprised whinny. Then
Sally found her stirrups,
gathered her reins into her left
hand, and kicked her left foot
to go, gently at first, so
Sniper could feel the difference
without becoming too alarmed at
being kicked from one side
instead of two. All the time,
Bob and Isaac were at Sniper's
nose but their hands were free.
Off the whole crowd went, at a
walk.
Sally was too happy for words.
For ten minutes, she walked
Sniper, stopped Sniper, walked
Sniper again, with Bob and Isaac
at his nose but without touching
him. The young men were
speechless. They had never seen
a little gray-haired old lady
with a cane get up on a horse
and ride, as if mounting Sniper
had some spell to make her
younger, just for a second.
Ten minutes later, Sally stopped
Sniper for the last time, Bobby
came over to help her down, and
they said goodbye. “I’ll never
forget this ride. It seems
small, but to me, it’s an event
I’ll remember.” Isaac let Sniper
loose to go back to the barn on
his own.
Finally, as Sally was getting
into the car, Isaac yelled,
“Sniper missed the barn. He’s
way over in the pasture, saddle
on… eating his lunch!”
