We are an educational equine ranch where you will be made comfortable on your horse through one-on-one horseback riding instruction before venturing out on trail rides. Our trail rides extend over hundreds of acres of land with beautiful views of valleys and walks through both wooded areas and open fields. For a twist on the trail rides, sign up for one of our monthly two hour moonlight horseback trail rides which leave just before sunset and conclude under lighted paths by the full moon. Our ranch birthday parties include an educational barn tour, fun with whips and lassos, a tractor-pulled wagon ride, hands-on time with the trail horses, a lively game of tug-o-war, and of course, pony rides. Can’t make it out to our facility? No problem.

If you are considering horseback riding summer camp in Pa. for furthering your child’s knowledge of horses, our summer camps include both mounted and un-mounted lessons in which children are educated about the basics of western horsemanship. They will learn to groom the trail horses, tack trail horses, lead horses, and trail ride their horses confidently by the end of the week. If your not a horseback rider but love to spectate rodeos and horseback riding shows? We are pleased to welcome rodeo spectators and youth rodeo participants from Schuylkill County and beyond to our evening summer fun shows held outdoors in our large outdoor riding arena.
