I like that they match you with your horse according to your skill level, weight and height, days before you arrive. Everything was organized so we could get the most out of our horseback riding experience. The prices for an hour long ride were very affordable. If you're funny about helmets bring a scarf to wrap your hair. We rode down through a clearing into the water, up and down long scenic fall leaf-covered hills. The instructors took a group shot of us for a nice keepsake. I highly recommend Sheeder Mill Farms for groups of all skill levels.

Hidden Valley Horse Farm has been located inside Ridley Creek State Park since 1999. It is the…read morefirst thing you see on your left as you enter the main park entrance. The set up utilizes some horse facilities from the Jeffords estate. Horse culture at this location dates back to the turn of the 19th C. and has links to Samuel Riddle, breeder of Man O' War and other famed racehorses. Boarding is available here with beautiful paddocks. There are 40 acres of pasture for grazing. There is a brand new enclosed ring that was built about a year ago. Also a heated tack room, and washing area (outside). We notice that horses are always blanketed when it is cold out, and they always look lively and content. In addition to boarding, they offer beginner, intermediate and advanced lessons, horse education ("hands-on"), pony rides, and parties. Often people host birthday parties at the nearby park picnic area with playground, and enjoy pony rides as part of the party. To visit and exercise your horse, there is a separate horse trail adjacent to the horse farm, just across Gradyville Road. North of Gradyville Rd the trail is roughly a figure 8 shape, & is the longest trail overall (4.7mi) for the park, and the only one equestrian-accessible. This is the widest unpaved park trail, since it is for horses. Note that walkers & dogs also use this trail, and populate it more than horses. A large northern section of the trail abuts Edgmont Country Club golf course, & the green's activities can be observed from the trail.

Never heard back, called again and left message on November 4. Called again November 8 and again no response. I requested a living social refund. Finally received a call on November 11, told the lady I requested a refund because I haven't heard from her and the Facebook page I found said they were permanently closed. She said that wasn't the current page. Guess it would have been nice if she would have offered for me to pay them directly for the price I paid for the deal and offered a lesson at the deal price. Hope to find my daughter a location that has better communication with potential customers.
