Autumn's Gate

Autumn's Gate Niagara County’s Family Fun First Farm! Horseback Riding, Summer Camp, Birthdays, and so much more!! WE RIDE FOR FUN! BUT THERE ARE SO MANY BENEFITS!!

Located in the beautiful town of Porter in Niagara county, we are only minutes away from Lewiston and Niagara Falls and 45 minutes from Buffalo and Erie county. Our core values are based on the proliferation of confidence, empowerment, and responsibility. We exist to help people realize these things within themselves, we just happen to ride horses to do it! We believe these attributes play an inte

gral role in how we view ourselves and how we contribute to our community. Both of which are major pillars in our state of mental health and wellness. We believe that people should embrace and enjoy every second of life! MENTAL HEALTH
Besides having fun and being safe, fostering confidence and inspiring a sense of accomplishment is what we're all about! We can talk for hours about how being on the farm and interacting with animals can boost mental health and wellbeing for anyone. GET SOCIAL
We love our barn family! There's something about the barn that brings people together, and Autumn's Gate is no different. Whether sharing an adventure on horseback or mingling with new people at our events, this really is a great place to make new friends and to bond with animals. HEALTH & WELLBEING
Improve your agility, core strength, and balance, all while having fun and being adventurous. If endurance or cardio is your thing, we've got the perfect solution for you. In general, horseback riding is a perfect addition to any health regimen or an added bonus to having fun! ACADEMIC & COGNITIVE
We're not kidding! Studies show that horseback riding can cause a significant impact on cognitive function. Improvements in problem solving, memory and retention is common. We hear from parents often that their children are more motivated and attentive academically. We foster opportunities for people to find their spark. Their spark of adventure, their spark of creativity, or their spark of pride. There is nothing more rewarding than helping our guests discover something new in the world, or something new they’re capable of.

In Loving Memory of Dragon

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Dragon, a beloved member of the Autumn's Gate family.

Dragon came to us five years ago as an auction rescue in poor condition. Through dedicated care, patience, and love, he regained his health and found a place where he belonged. Like many horses with a difficult past, Dragon faced challenges both on the ground and under saddle, but his story became one of resilience, trust, and transformation.

For the past two years, Dragon was under the care of our instructor, Julia. Through her unwavering commitment, kindness, and skill, she helped Dragon become the incredible partner we always knew he could be. The bond they shared was truly special and was evident to everyone who knew them.

Over the weekend, Dragon was involved in a tragic and unforeseeable accident. Despite appropriate safety measures and experienced care, he suffered a fatal injury and passed instantly. He was not alone, he did not suffer, and he was with Julia, who loved him deeply, in his final moments.

While our hearts ache at this loss, we take comfort in knowing that Dragon's life was filled with love, purpose, and friendship. He touched the lives of many riders, students, staff, and visitors, and his memory will remain a part of Autumn's Gate for years to come.

We ask our community to keep Julia in your thoughts and prayers as she grieves the loss of her best friend and partner.

Run free, Dragon. You were loved beyond measure and will be greatly missed.

We've been a little quiet on social media lately—but that's because we've been hard at work behind the scenes preparing for an incredible 2026 season! 🤠❤️

At Take The Reins, our mission is simple: make sure more children have access to life-changing experiences with horses, the outdoors, and summer camp—regardless of financial circumstances.

None of this would be possible without the amazing support of our community. Whether you've donated, attended a fundraiser, shared our mission, or partnered with us, thank you for helping us create opportunities for local kids.

A special thank you to Wegmans Niagara Falls for their generous contribution to our 2026 Summer Camp Scholarship & Activity Fund!

So… we really love Hank and we also love to use AI here on the farm. But this is a reminder to use Ai responsibly as it requires human review.

We are also wondering how Hank bribed Meta to give him such street cred? AQHA and Path Int horse of the year!?!?
