Many resorts are dog-friendly, but how many are horse-friendly? At the Mountain Top Resort, their Equestrian Center is open Memorial Day weekend through October, offering guided one- and two-hour rides over 40 miles of designated trails. Walk, trot or canter through mountain pastures, over wooded trails, surrounded by thousands of acres of National Forest overlooking a glittering lake. Ride one of the center’s horses or bring your own and either get a day pass or board your horse overnight at the center. Both experienced riders and those new to the saddle (English or Western) will enjoy the experience of being immersed in nature while touring miles of trails. The center also offers 15-minute pony rides. Ask about resort packages that include horseback rides.
