New business offers guided horseback rides across 1 of Lehigh Valley’s highest plateaus

May 23, 2026 - 20:02

A new equestrian venture has opened this month, offering guided horseback rides across one of the highest plateaus in the Lehigh Valley. The business brings together a team with more than 80 years of combined experience in horse care and trail riding, aiming to provide a safe and scenic experience for riders of all skill levels.

The rides take guests through open fields and wooded trails that sit atop the plateau, offering sweeping views of the surrounding landscape. Unlike many trail riding operations that stick to flat, predictable paths, this route includes gentle elevation changes and varied terrain. The owners say they designed the experience to appeal both to beginners who have never sat in a saddle and to seasoned riders looking for a new place to explore.

Safety is a clear priority. Each ride is led by experienced guides who match horses to riders based on ability. The stable houses a mix of calm, well-trained horses suited for novices, along with more responsive mounts for experienced riders. All rides are paced to the group, with frequent stops to take in the scenery and let riders ask questions.

The business operates by reservation only, with rides running seven days a week during daylight hours. The owners hope the new offering will draw both locals and tourists who want a different way to experience the region's natural beauty. They are already planning to add sunset rides and seasonal specials in the coming months.
