Trail Rides

We believe that horseback riding should be an adventure. We differ from typical "trail riding" operations of the East, preferring to deliver more of a rugged western experience, with conveniences of accessibility here. We offer a level of adventure with a lesson in safety and basic horsemanship that only true professional outfitters can provide. Our pre-ride talk can take almost an hour. To maintain quality, we keep a herd of more than fifty riding horses year round, as they prove themselves to be dependable, hardworking mounts time and time again. Many of our horses were born on the farm and trained by us.

We take novice, intermediate, and experienced for our horseback trail rides. We've taken thousands of people for their very first horseback experience. We've taken the trail savvy rider out for a ride like they've never had before and shown them the time of their lives. Spend the day with us and enjoy the best horseback riding Tioga County has to offer.

Reservations are required; single riders can join trips already booked.

A 50% deposit is required to book your space. Directions and additional information will then be provided with your confirmation.

Part-Day Rides

Our part day ride is a great way to try your hand a horseback riding if you're a novice, but is still enough of an adventure to keep an experienced rider's interest. All part-day rides are at a walking pace through a variety of terrain. These rides are suitable for ages 8 and older.

Part-Day Ride with Lunch

You'll meet us in the morning at our corral, where we match your abilities with one of our dependable horses. As the horses are being saddled by our wranglers, you'll join your guide for our famous pre-ride talk – a lesson in safety and basic horsemanship. Our pre-ride talk can take almost hour, but we believe that providing our guests with quality instruction and information is what being a top outfitter is all about. We'll ride through rugged and varied terrain – open, wooded, fixed trails, bushwhacking – all scenic. We'll stop off at one of the many beautiful spots along the way and have lunch, which is provided by us! The total length of this experience is between four and five hours.

Afternoon Ride

Due to popular demand, we have created the Afternoon Ride, similar to our Part-Day ride with a later start. Riders are encouraged to bring a snack, since we do take a short break. Our pre-ride talk, our guides and horses are the same excellent quality our guests have come to expect from Mountain Trail. The total length of this experience is three-and-a-half to four hours.

Sunset Trail Ride

Starting later in the afternoon, our Sunset Rides include not only the top-notch quality you've come to expect from us, but a cookout over an open fire.

Everyone will love roasting hot dogs and fixing them just the way they like. Watch the sun set from a mountain vista while you interact with new acquaintances and our staff, who can entertain you with local lore, night sounds, and wildlife identification. We return to the corral as day becomes night. The total length of this experience is four to five hours.
