The farm is open to the public six days a week. A visit may be a casual stroll around the grounds to see the horses and farm animals, or it may be a more structured time, such as taking horseback riding lessons or engaging in other equestrian pursuits.

One important mission at Ray of Light Farm is to provide a valuable resource for the communities of the CT River Valley and beyond. We have something for everyone, and we are now enrolling for all of our popular programs. Tiny Trotters: a four week program designed for preschool-aged children. For one day each week, children spend an hour visiting with and learning about the animals at Ray of Light. Each day includes a craft project and snack, and ends with a pony ride! Safety is a priority at Ray of Light, so all activities are closely supervised. We also ask that children be accompanied by a parent or care-giver. See our calendar to find the dates of the next Tiny Trotter Session and call us at 860-873-1895 to register. Please note: the rate for Tiny Trotters has increased to $50 per 4 week session since Jan 1, 2013. Riding Instruction: a team of professional and certified instructors is available to help students (ages 8 and up) from novice to advanced dressage to develop their riding skills, ride balanced and centered, in a true partnership with the horses. See our equestrian page for more detail. Call us at 860-873-1895 for lesson times and availability. B.I.T: in the Basics in Training program, our head trainer Susan Macauley leads students through a progressive series of short courses designed to train student to effectively use groundwork exercises including round-penning, lunging and long-reining to build the foundations necessary for both human and equine to advance to riding and higher level equestrian pursuits. See our equestrian page for more dates and times. Filly Night: a fun girls' night out with horses! It's a women's group riding lesson followed by a potluck dinner and social.
