Visit Forest And Rivers By Horseback On This Unique Tour In New Hampshire
If you’ve lived (or visited!) in New Hampshire for long enough it might feel like you’ve seen and done it all. It’s possible that the only time you get inventive is when you have friends or family visiting and they expect a few special adventures. This is definitely a great way to try some new things, but we also believe that exploring new areas and activities is fun to do for no good reason at all. If you agree, consider checking out this unique tour that’s entirely done on horseback.
High Meadows Farms offers two different locations for their activities. In the summer they operate in Wolfeboro, while the winter has them in Moultonborough. Both locations are absolutely beautiful and offer one of the most unique ways to see the state.
While the farm offers both lessons and camps for kids, those of us who are relatively new to horses can still enjoy them by taking part in one of the farm's many tours of the landscape surrounding the farms.
In the summer you can take in views of the White Mountains and the farm's rolling grass pastures. In the winter you'll be treated to woods and small streams and rivers as well as country bridges and acres of impressive scenery.
This 1.5-hour tour begins by spending time with your horse at the barn. This is a great way for both riders and horses to get comfortable with one another.
While many tours on horseback require single-file riding the experience gained before your ride means you'll be trusted to ride alongside others. This makes the ride far more fun and you'll be able to customize your time.
After exploring you'll return to the farm for some additional time riding before dismounting and untacking your horse. You'll even be able to feed them snacks!
We love that this tour places an emphasis on understanding more about horses and riding. And we love the personal attention provided by Sue, the owner. If you're looking for an intro to riding, this is certainly one of the best ways to find it!
High Meadows Farms offers horseback tours throughout the year. The starting location is different in the summer and the winter, so be sure to check their website for more information. You can also visit them on Facebook. If you have questions give them a call on 603-539-6052.
Michelle has lived in many places, but counts Maine as one of the best. In addition to the smell of ocean water in the air on rainy days in Portland, she loves puppies, photography, funny people, the Maine Red Claws, traveling, fresh tomatoes, Cambodia and filling out forms.
