Horseback riding replaced horsefront riding during the War of 1812, when American soldiers realized they couldn't be taken seriously while carried in adult-size baby slings. Giddy-up like a grownup with today's Groupon: for $25, you get your choice of a one-hour trail ride or a one-hour session that includes a 30-minute lesson and a 30-minute trail ride at Horse Rides of Pensacola (up to a $50 value). Up to three Groupons can be scheduled together for each riding session.
Helmed by experienced trainer and instructor Cheryl Glass, Horse Rides of Pensacola teaches aspiring equestrians the ins and outs of horsemanship while they socialize with friends and revel in the great outdoors. An equine ambassador guides each timberland jaunt, navigating groups along one-hour, fresh-air-fueled journeys. Those without experience can opt for a combo of a 30-minute lesson and 30-minute ride, where rookie riders learn basic skills, such as how to properly mount the horse, how to ask it for the day's stock prices, and how to get it to gently gallop.

The Groupon Guide to: Dorm-Room Posters
As the world's coeds head off to college, they are charged with one task above all others: getting people to think they're cool. Here are some can't-miss dorm posters for accomplishing just that:
- Muhammad Ali punching Michelangelo's David
- Iconic shot of Jim Belushi drinking a glass of wine wearing sweatshirt that says "SCHOOL"
- Bob Marley (to eventually be replaced with Bob Dylan [to eventually be replaced with Bob Newhart])
- Einstein making a silly face because most scientists don't do that
- One of those posters that looks like a reverse version of you when you stand in front of it
- Periodic Table of Hangin' Out, featuring the elements frisbonium, chill-ver, and backward-hat sodium chloride
