Horseback Riding
Happy trails await your visit to New Hampshire. Ride horseback in spectacular landscapes with majestic scenery everywhere you look. Ride solo or on tours on well-maintained woodland trails and through forest and fields. Stables will get you onto the horse and into the equipment you need and many are set near cozy lodgings. From your equine perch you’ll see a variety of wildlife, maybe even a stately moose. There are programs and horses for younger riders and short pony rides with a lead rope for the smallest. In winter months, enjoy a magical sleigh ride.

When people leave comments about their horseback-riding experience at the Franconia Inn Stables, they are equally divided with their praise for the wonderful staff and the wonderful horses. The stables offer guided excursions that take riders through fields and forests, meandering along the river, and looking out over the mountains. The excursions are beginner-friendly, with a maximum of six people for each ride. They begin with instructions from experienced guides; helmets are provided. The one-hour rides include crossing the Ham Branch River where your horse may stop for a drink (or give you a refreshing splash!). You might encounter local wildlife such as beavers, deer, or turkeys. Inn guests receive a discount, and private tours can be arranged.
