1. (What if I've never ridden a horse before?) No Problem! Teaching first-timers and beginners is our specialty. We'll instruct you on the basics of horseback riding. Our staff is friendly, patient, and very experienced in working with people who are "a little nervous" or "rusty" when it comes to riding horses. We're enthusiastic about horseback riding and want you to feel the same way.

2. (Can the horse sense if I'm nervous?) We literally take thousands of first-time riders every year and the majority of the others only ride occasionally. So, for our horses, a nervous rider is, well....just another rider. Horses have no mystical ability to sense fear. Give them the simple signals that we teach you and they will respond, whether you are a little tense or not.

3. (What if I'm not a beginner rider?) Many experienced riders do find our ride an enjoyable way to spend time on a horse and see some beautiful Pocono scenery and wildlife. However our trail ride is always at an easy walk or jog pace.

4. (How do I make arrangements to ride?) Reservations are always a good idea, especially on weekends and holidays. We are open to accept reservations anytime after 9:30 a.m., The first ride leaves at 11:00 A.M. Rides go every hour through 4:00 P.M. (Earlier or later rides can some times be arraigned in advance.)
