10 Horseback Riding Tours in New Hampshire That You Shouldn't Miss
If you are looking for diversity, you will certainly find it in New Hampshire. From lakes to beaches, waterfalls to woods and mountains to sea coast, the state has huge potential for outdoor vacations, including downhill or cross-country skiing in winter. With no less than seventy-five state parks that offer natural areas, hiking trails, beaches and historic sites, New Hampshire caters for a variety of tastes. Crawford Notch State Park in Harts Location has picturesque waterfalls, wonderful mountain views and opportunities for viewing wildlife. You can go hiking and fishing there as well as pay a visit to the historic Willey House. Monadnock State Park, unlike some other state parks, is open all year round for hiking. Want to go swimming? You will find five state park beaches along the coast of New Hampshire, such as Wallis Sands with its view of the rocky Isles of Shoals. On North Hampton State Beach and Jenness Beach you can have a picnic as well as a swim. When you've finally had your fill of fresh air, head for the Museum of New Hampshire History in Concord with exhibits focusing on heritage and traditions; children should enjoy them just as much as adults.

Great experience with the horseback riding! Guide and staff were great, and horses were easy to work with; I had no problems as a first time rider. You ride up along the ski mountain runs and the area and views are beautiful. Prices are also very fair. Would recommend this to anyone.

We took our daughter today for her 10th Birthday. Very friendly staff & beautiful, well cared for horses greeted us. After mounting up and heading out, it was wonderful to find our guide was very interactive, even singing a solo of Happy Birthday to our birthday girl and belting out a Johnny Cash song on request. He was silly and engaging which made our ride a pleasure. It was a great experience and we will return again as soon as possible. Worth the 1.5 hour drive!

7. Silver Ranch Stables

Weddings, Horse Drawn Carriages, Sleigh & Hayrides, Lessons, Boarding and Training. Silver Ranch: 100 Years in the Making In the beginning: Roscoe Sawyer married Rita Parsons in 1914 and later moved to the current Silver Ranch farmhouse in 1917. He began a dairy operation. By about 1930 while in the wholesale and retail business and raising five children he purchased a horse. It took no time at all to realize that more horses were needed for the children (and parents). In order for the horses to earn their keep they were rented out to the public. As the rental business grew even more horses were needed. In 1932 Roscoe moved a barn to the current location to house their expanding equine business.

The lady at the Waterville Valley welcome center gave us the tip for Rocky Ridge Ranch. We made a reservation for 12 noon. The cost would be $18.00 per person when riding in a group or $75.00 for private ride and they only except cash. When we arrived, we decided for the group ride. While we waited for noon, they offered us hot chocolate and water. Also they had a nice fire going with benches to sit on and a 14 yr old dog named Bunny who was very friendly. By the time noon rolled around, no one else showed up so we ended up with private ride for $36.00 rather than $75. Rick, the owner, was our driver and was very cordial to us making the trip even nicer. Beautiful scenery was everywhere and plenty of snow over the 20-25 minute ride with 2 wonderful friendly horses. When we were done, a girl assistant took pictures with us next to the horses and we could pet them as well. She also took a picture when we started the ride as well. All in all a great time and highly recommend for a fun time.
