Lehigh Valley Trail Rides — Local services in Bath

I unfortunately did not get to ride this experience. --This review is based on how the booking and rescheduling works --

I aim to one day still run this trail as it seems beautiful with proper friendly staff. I am posting this review so you understand their policies as I bought this for a birthday gift for my wife as she loves horse riding and didn't believe a $10 insurance policy is what enabled me to be able to Refund and Reschedule

I reached out over 24hrs in advance to see if we had an option to reschedule as I didn't want a refund and wanted to do the experience maybe the following weekend on whatever slot they had. Apparently You need the insurance to be able to reschedule.

Strange for it to be presented like those insurance companies when you book a flight and not in a more friendly way. What's even odd is inquiring for a Tip 2 times before a ride is even performed so i tipped $20 ahead of the ride since it kept popping up when checking out. (i didnt want to be the only bookee that didn't tip in advance and understand what labor goes into these experiences)

Now with their inability to reschedule I'm out $240 with Tip. Hopefully they learn to be more flexible for unexpected circumstances or provide a clearer messaging within their own terms and conditions and not the Peek booking service so the insurance isn't ignored by many. Images are the pop ups you'll see when booking, dont miss out on the insurance otherwise you just donated if something came up.

Regardless i hope to actually ride in the future with Korie and the team and see what the experience...

I have been seeing ads for Lehigh Valley Trail Rides for some time now. I'm a long time equestrian, but my current horse is now fully retired, and so, I am not getting g the saddle time I would like. LVTR is relatively close, so I decided to check them out. I am completely impressed!! All of the horses clearly receive top notch care. They are well groomed, healthy weight, well cared for feet, properly fitting tack - things the average customer might not notice, but zi promise you, the horses comfort and health is paramount to their ability to be quality riding horses. These horses are incredibly well trained. It is clear that a lot of time, love, and attention has been given to each one. Owner Korie is attentive to every detail of her horses and staff. You'll receive a brief instructional video before your ride - watch it! Upon arriving at the farm, you'll sign a waiver and have a few moments to get acquainted with your horse and practice a few basic signals. The ride itself is approximately an hour long, with a short time spent on a quiet country road, time spent meandering through beautiful woods, and there was even a creek crossing, with an opportunity for a brief rest and chance for your mounts to drink. Upon return, you'll receive instructions on where to stop and help to dismount properly. There are neat souvenir t-shirts for purchase. Korie also makes sure to take photos of each rider, which she graciously sent to each of us as record of our day. And finally, don't forget to tip your guide! They work hard to make sure everyone has a...

I rarely write reviews—and even more rarely do I write negative ones—but I felt compelled to share this experience so others don’t make the same mistake I did. I chose this horseback riding place mainly because they advertised "the most beautiful views" during a 90-minute ride. Yes, they charge more than other places in the area, so I expected something special. Unfortunately, it was a major disappointment and, in my opinion, false advertising. The entire ride lasted less than an hour. It took 15 – 20 minutes to get the group of 7 set with our horses. We rode along a road, through someone’s backyard, and briefly into some muddy woods. And yes—we finished early. To make matters worse, my horse was limping and barely responsive to commands. I’m no cowboy, but I’ve ridden horses a dozen times before and never had an issue like this. Then, to top it all off, at the end of the ride they handed us religious brochures. I personally didn’t care for that, so if you’re sensitive to such things, it’s something to keep in mind. What a letdown. This was meant to be a romantic gift for my wife. Luckily for me, she’s amazing and still managed to make the best of the day. We salvaged the experience with a lovely dinner at a little nearby spot. Bottom line: If you’re looking for a scenic, enjoyable horseback riding...
