Kids ages 12 and up, as well as adults, can hit the trails on horseback through Mercer County's Trail Riding Program. Take a 45-minute guided trail ride around the Mercer Stables property.

Previous riding experience is not necessary, but riders must be able to control the horse. At the management’s discretion, riders may be on lead for the rider's safety.

There is a 220-pound max weight limit; weigh in will be required of all riders.

You must be able to get on and off the horse without assistance.

Boots are preferred; no open-toed shoes, ballet flats, thin sneakers (like Vans/Converse) or tight clothing.
