A Pleasant Valley Ranch















Welcome to Pleasant Valley Ranch. We are located in the serene Pleasant Valley of New Ringgold, PA. Here at the ranch, we offer a wide variety of equine activities such as horseback riding, horseback riding lessons, horse rental Pa., horse guided trail rides, two hour moonlight horse ride, hay rides and campfire rides. Our specialty ranch and horse services include ranch-style birthday parties Pa., ranch activities for Boy Scout and Girl Scout troops Pa., off-site pony rides for birthday parties or fundraisers in Pa., We offer pony rides in New Jersey, New York, Maryland, Delaware and medieval weddings with our black Percheron draft horses. Cinderella has done Indian wedding ceremonies all over Pennsylvania and Indian wedding ceremonies in New York, Delaware, Maryland and New Jersey. 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. Whether you live in Lehighton, Orwigsburg, Pottsville, Jim Thorpe, Tamaqua, Hazleton, Scranton, Reading or Allentown Area, we’ll bring the horses and party to you! 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. Please call for questions or information about this summer’s Friday night fun show series.
