If you’ve lived (or visited!) in New Hampshire for long enough it might feel like you’ve seen and done it all. It’s possible that the only time you get inventive is when you have friends or family visiting and they expect a few special adventures. This is definitely a great way to try some new things, but we also believe that exploring new areas and activities is fun to do for no good reason at all. If you agree, consider checking out this unique tour that’s entirely done on horseback.
High Meadows Farms offers two different locations for their activities. In the summer they operate in Wolfeboro, while the winter has them in Moultonborough. Both locations are absolutely beautiful and offer one of the most unique ways to see the state.

While many tours on horseback require single-file riding the experience gained before your ride means you’ll be trusted to ride alongside others. This makes the ride far more fun and you’ll be able to customize your time.
