This place is great. Horses were clean. The staff was friendly and the owner wasn't mean at all (he's just pretty straight forward). We made an appointment for 3 to ride and was told to be there 15 mins in advance. Place was easy to find, can't miss the big sign. There are riding boots if you want to change... More

My husband and I have been to Deer Path Stables twice now. We love the long,peaceful ride through the woods. Go in the summer with the sun shining down, trees loaded with leaves; go in the fall with a chill in the air, colorful foilage and leaves crunching underfoot. The ride lasts about an hour. Owners are friendly. Horses calm... More

One of the best things about this place is that it’s great for beginners. Prior to my visit, the last time I rode a horse was during my childhood. The instructors were great at taking the time to make me feel comfortable where at the end of it all I felt like an avid rider. I highly recommend this place... More

I took my nieces, nephews and grandchildren (ages 7-11) plus adults to ride on a lovely sunny day. The owner was gracious and friendly. The guides were helpful and advised the children on safety issues. The little ones got pony rides and the older ones went on a trail ride through a lovely wooded area. We say deer and squirrels...

We went riding along the pretty trails at this Poconos barn with our two teens, and it was fabulous. Our guide, John, gave helpful tips on handling the horses (who were very well behaved), let us trot on certain stretches, and took our pictures at the end of the ride. Very laid back atmosphere, but you felt well taken care... More

The staff are friendly and helpful whether you are a beginner or experienced rider. I especially like the attention to details to keep riders safe while mounting and dismounting the horses as well as on the trail. I love the different terrains on the trails from fields to woods and narrow winding paths. I keep coming back because the experience... More

Went away to the Poconos with family so we decided to book a day horseback riding. The day came and it was raining cats and dogs with thunder and lightning. So we call them to try to reschedule and the owner said we should've still came. We tried mentioning that we'll come the next day so that we don't lose... More

My most essential function as a trail guide and stable owner is to KEEP MY CLIENTS SAFE! I did become quite strict with this rider, when despite my explanation that is was unsafe for him to leave his place in line, turn in the other direction and attempt to pass several other horses and riders in the wrong direction. I... More

I was just at the place with my friends and cousins. There was 8 of us. We all enjoyed the ride. The ride was smooth and enjoyable. However, keep it mind that the place has no clean bathroom. No place to wash your hands. I would highly recommend you to take a gallon of water with a soap to wash... More
