Your smartwatch wants you to log 10,000 steps. Your soul wants to sit on a horse and eat trail mix. 🤠

Let’s be real, hiking is great, but have you ever tried letting a 1,200 pound Tennessee Walking Horse do all the cardio while you just enjoy the view? We support the "work smarter, not harder" approach to the great outdoors.

šŸ‘Øā€āš–ļøATTENTION WE’RE CALLING THE ā€œI HAVE SOMEONE WHO LOVES HORSES, BUT I VALUE MY FINANCIAL STABILITYā€ SUPPORT GROUP MEETING TO ORDER!šŸ‘©ā€āš–ļø The horse person in your life has been aggressively dropping hints for months. They want a horse. They want a barn. They want to wake up at dawn to live out their equestrian dreams. Their heart belongs to the hoofed and unfortunately there’s no cure. Before you panic buy a 1,200 pound animal and convert your garage into a tack room, we can offer you a better solution! Let’s look at your options:

Buying the horse:
Purchase price: $4,000 to infinity (this is the bait, don’t take it)
Monthly board and feed: $400-$1,200+ (lasts forever)
Farrier (every 8 weeks): $130+ (just for horse pedicures)
Equine dentist: $120+ (yes, even the horses need to see a dentist)
The ā€œsurpriseā€ vet bill: $5,000 (let’s hope it’s not colic)
Supplements: $120+ a month (the horse’s joints might not hurt, but yours will because you can’t afford rent)
Winter blankets: $200 x 4 (lightweight, medium, heavy, and the ā€œit’s slightly rainingā€ sheet)
Your weekend schedule: up at dawn, wrestling 50+ pound hay bales, mucking stalls, missing family events because the horse ate a weird stick, and winter comes with the added bonus of breaking ice out of water troughs. Cleanliness? Kiss it goodbye! If you’re not dirty after grooming the horses and mucking the stalls, it’s the hay that will get you. Hay. Everywhere. Your clothes, the floors, your shoes, your hair, the furniture, EVERYWHERE.

Drum roll please 🄁🄁🄁

Our winners from our photo contest are…. Emma Lewis (a photo with our beloved and retired, Calico) AND Carol Swartzlander Findley (a photo of Chester making his way through the snack spot on the trail)!

A huge thank you for everyone who participated! There were so many great submissions, it was so hard to just one winner. We decided to pick two winners instead, one for our profile photo and one for our background photo! Even then, it was still difficult due to all the awesome photos we received from our lovely customers!!

This was so much fun! Stay tuned for our next photo contest when we decide we need another revamp!

Friendly reminder for all of our wonderful riders! 🤠

Please remember to book your rides in advance! We might be good, but we’re no miracle workers, there is a ton that goes on behind the scenes before we ever hit the trail. From paperwork and staffing to carefully scheduling which horses are working and making sure they get proper breaks and care, everything is planned out ahead of time.

Because of this, we usually aren't able to accommodate same day calls or walk-ins for rides, as our schedule and horse rotation are already set!

We appreciate you planning ahead so we can give you and our horses the best experience possible. To book your next adventure, reach out to us in advance. You can message us here on Facebook or call/text 814-880-5100. See you on the trail! 🌲🐓

Therapy is expensive. A horse ride is cheaper (and comes with a view)! Let’s be honest, your to-do list is mocking you, your screen time is out of control, and the last time you smelled fresh air, it was blowing out of an AC vent.

It’s time to swap the daily grind for an adventure with some actual horsepower. At Nittany Mountain Trail Rides, our trusty trail horses know the way better than your GPS, and they don't judge you for talking to them.

What’s included on the ride you ask?
1. Breathtaking mountain and forest views that actually look good in person (no filter required).
2. A four legged coworker who is a lot better listener than your actual boss.
3. Zero traffic, zero emails, and 100% good vibes!

Ride Options are as follows:
🐓Our most popular ride: 2 hours plus instructional time- $125 per person.
🐓For those who may not be able to handle two hours of riding: 1 hour ride plus instructional time- $80 per person.
🐓For those craving more time in the saddle: 4 hour ride plus instructional time- $225 per person.

Rides start and end at the Sand Mountain Trailhead in Spring Mills, Pa. No experience required!

Don't let another weekend slip away inside. Grab a friend, support a small family owned business, book your saddle, and let’s hit the trails! Message us here on Facebook or call/text 814-880-5100 to book your ride!
