A green canvas of wooded hills and valleys, this region is a recreation haven in the summer for fishing, hunting, mountain hiking, horseback riding and whitewater rafting as well as a popular winter sports destination. When you add in casino gaming, a major racetrack and phenomenal golf courses, the Pocono Mountains region appeals to, well, just about everybody.
For the outdoors enthusiast, the Pocono Mountains have everything you need and desire. There are seven state parks in the region as well as one national park, the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. Automobile racing fans love to visit the Pocono Raceway, which hosts several major races every year. Skiers and snowboarders gravitate to major resort areas like Camelback Ski Area, Jack Frost Mountain and Big Boulder and the Shawnee Mountain Ski area. For golfers, the Pocono Mountains features courses designed by legendary icons like Donald Ross and A.W. Tillinghast and modern designers such as Jack Nicklaus and Robert Trent Jones. There are 35 courses in the region highlighted by two of the highest rated, Jack Frost National and Woodloch Springs.

Daisy Field Farm offers horseback riding, trail rides, pony rides and winter sleigh rides. Located in the Poconos, you'll enjoy fresh mountain air and beautiful scenery during your stay. Hunting is not allowed on the property so the animals are trusting of us and our horses. You can see wild deer, turkeys and other animals close up during your ride. Our rides are perfect for people of all ages. Rides are by appointment only.
We pulled up to this farm and saw many stunning animals. The most stunning, however, was the horse that they brought out for me to ride. This scenic trail ride was picture perfect. The lead rider always was checking on the riders throughout the ride. The horses were very well taken care of and very mild mannered. This was by far, the best and my favorite trail and horse that I ever rode. Thank yo u for a wonderful summer afternoon with very nice people, and thank you to the owner who takes such great care of the animals.

Scenic horseback riding in the Pocono Mountains.
My husband and I are on a mini vacation and wanted to go horseback riding. We were both very pleased with the tour. We saw beautiful sights, the tour guides were friendly, and the horses were gentle. We would highly recommend Why-Not-Riding Stables and will look forward to visiting them when we come back.

I want to personally think Mountain Creek Riding Stable. Today we had a group family outing for our young two daughters, our younger son, my wife and I and we visited to take a tour and ride the horses. Our younger son was too small to ride the big horses but he had a great pony ride.. We are extremely pleased and Stephanie and her partner guided us all through a great scenic trail and they were extremely knowledgeable and helped each of us during each part of the ride which was fantastic. Stephanie matched us up with specific horses and they were all great and super friendly. We highly recommend a visit! Take your whole family out for a great ride with these talented, friendly, and knowledgeable folks on a great trail. You're bound to have a lot of fun and you will enjoy yourselves tremendously and have a great and memorable experience!

My wife and I did a quick weekend getaway to Pocono Palace. We were told about Happy Trails Riding Stables. We got there and got our horses. My wife did get bucked off once but they allowed her to switch horses and all went well. We really enjoyed the 2 hour tour and had a well knowledged guide with us which made the experience even more enjoyable.
