This stable offers the best trails and guides that we have ever seen. They are friendly, helpful, and make you feel safe every bit of the trail. The prices are wonderful. The 2 hour trails include a lot of up and down hills that makes the ride very exciting and enjoyable. I will definitely rise here again.

My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves here! It was our first experience riding and we were pleasantly surprised at how professionally run and efficiently staffed Pocono Adventures was. The animals were amazing and a pleasure to ride, and the trail was absolutely breathtaking. We took the 2 hour ride and we could have stayed on for another 4 hours. We plan on returning in the near future. Thank you Pocono Adventures!

First of all I assumed a riding stable would have horses...not mules. The place was kind of a dump and I would have turned and left except I had foolishly given them my credit card number to reserve a spot. The helmets provided were cheap and beat up. The mules were mostly well behaved but some kept wandering off the track. The "trail" was a narrow rocky path through the woods and we went at a snail's pace. My 8-year old daughter, who was a little nervous, ended up second from the end in a line of 16 mules and I was near the front, and there is no way to change places once you get started. No one was watching her and I spent the whole ride looking behind me. Near the end of the ride one of the mules decided to go off on its own and the 3 guides that were with us got very panicky, and the poor little girl on it was very scared. The main guide told her she should control her animal better. I didn't really have confidence in the guides and they weren't very likeable at all. I probably sound like a whiner but we live in an area with many riding stables and my daughter rides and competes in shows, and I have never come across a place like this. I just wanted it to be over and get out of there. And to top it off they ask you to leave the guides a tip before you leave! I would try Happy Trails Riding Stables instead next time, they looked much nicer and had horses, and they were right next to this place.

What ever you do, do NOT give them your credit card information when booking a trip, take your chances and book the day of the trip instead. Besides, if they are fully booked, there are PLENTY of other places to ride within 10 minutes of this place (Carson's, Mountain Creek, Pocono Manor, etc). We called two weeks before our trip, and they said that they would be booked solid unless we gave them our credit card info to hold a ride in advance. We (big mistake on our part) gave them our info, then AFTER they had the credit card info stated that they will accept no cancellations. Well, two weeks later bad luck would have it that the night before the day of our ride, I had to go to the emergency room for an accident, and had been on pain killers that evening and was very ill from it. Now, I am an experienced rider and I know it is not a great idea (nor a SAFE idea) to get on a horse you don't know on a trail you don't know and try to ride while you are dizzy from pain killers. My husband called the stable as soon as they opened, four hours prior to the ride and simply asked if we could reschedule for the following day (not cancel) as I should be better by the following day. The woman who answered the phone was extremely RUDE and DISCOURTIOUS and snapped "We don't accept cancellations-and we have your $60.00 now!" and HUNG UP THE PHONE! Now, I understand if we had totally blown off the trip, not called to inform them, etc. I could even understand a small cancellation/rescheduling fee, but to take the full amount is crazy, and what futher upsets me is that my husband tried to work with them for another solution and they immediately threw up a wall. That is NOT the way to deal with a customer in any business, especially when you are in the tourism business. What would they have done if I chose to do the ride, had a problem with vertigo, and fallen and gotten seriously injured??? Luckily we ended up having a great time at three other riding stables that week, and I would reccommend any of them EXCEPT Pocono Adventures. Buyer Beware!

This place is awful!! I can ride any reasonably well-trained horse, but a mule's mouth is like concrete! The first time I went, they tried to put me on a mule and I pitched a hissy and MADE them put me on a real horse. The second time, four years later, I was told rather roughly that they owned no horses (saw a few at the trough when we got back though....) and was put on the biggest mule they had. It stood over three feet taller than I and had a single reign that was less than half the distance of its neck. When I got on its back and told it to go, it took the bit in its mouth, jerked its head down and the reign out of my hands, and ran with me. Three of the guides and the hateful owner finally got it corralled and I got off as quickly as I could. I am 5'4" and a rather small young woman, so I pitched another hissy and made them put me on a smaller mule. It was a quieter animal, and one of the guides was very nice, telling me the first animal had been doing that all day, but there were comments made about me and the smaller mule liked to stop dead still every few minutes. In short, I took a look over the valley and decided that next time we pass through the Poconos, I'll take a look at the HORSES I saw at the riding stables next door. I shudder to think of a small child or a novice rider being pawned off with one of their animals.

I've been going up to the Poconos for some time, and I was iffy about going to Pocono Adventures for the first time by myself. I'm an experienced rider, and I knew I could handle it. It was July of 2010, even though it says August 2010. I love this place and their trails. They take you up streams, up hills, down hills, through the forest. And it's guided. They have TWO trail guides depending on how big the group is. Now, last year when I went, I got a one of a kind trail 'cause I was the only one that signed up for the 2-hour trail. :) The guy saw I was experienced 'cause I showed up in my chaps and own riding helmet. He took me off and took me on the trail and OFF the trail, too! It had to be one of the best trail rides I had ever taken. I'll be coming up to the Poconos this fall and will definitely be going there for a fall ride! :)

The fact that they don't put you on a boring old trail is awsome. They have awsome guides and the animals are the best....."i'll see you soon Buddy" It realy is an adventure and the experience is truley priceless.

My husband and I try to ride when we are traveling and have experienced many stables. This unique stable was a great experience. The guides were wonderful, the animals are well cared for and tame, we received excellent instructions, and the two-hour tour we chose went through some interesting and beautiful terrain. We do recommend it.
