Show-Me Trail Ride Outfitter's owner and guide Jeff Strahle whisks equestrians of all ability levels through the beautiful country and scenic trails of Big River Ranch in fun, two-hour trail rides customized to move at the speed of the riders. The horseback-riding session begins with a brief introduction (up to 20 minutes) to get horsemen acquainted with the trained horses, safety, and riding techniques. Saddled sightseers then explore 2,100 acres of land and 50 miles of trails varying in scenery, difficulty, and number of lost Disney characters. Those seeking a challenge can traverse Bluff Trails, which leads riders through a rangy terrain of canyons, waterfalls, and naturally occurring rollercoasters, while those who fancy the water can take in the panoramic views of the Missouri River while galloping along River Trails. Guided rides through Big River Ranch are available for reservations on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays.

The Groupon Guide to: Animal Sounds
Identifying animal sounds isn't just for schoolchildren and the professional hunters who capture most of the meat our nation eats today—it's a skill that might just save your life. Test your knowledge by matching the animals to their telltale noises:
The Animals
1) Dog
2) Parrot
3) Tony the Tiger
4) Dodo Bird
5) Human
The Noises
A. Er-Er-Ber
B. Cluck-Cluck
C. Argh!
D. Bow-Wow
E. They’re Grrrrreat!
The Answers
1) D Dogs go Bow-Wow. Animal behaviorists believe this signature howl is short for "Bow, humans! Wow, you're not doing it…." Dogs hate humans.
2) B Parrots go Cluck-Cluck, assuming that the parrots have been living with a chicken.
3) E Frosted Flakes' spokescat Tony the Tiger went They're Grrrrreat!, though he was recently fired after being photographed eating Cheerios in a men's hotel outside Orlando.
4) A Dodo birds went Er-Er-Ber. Or did they? We'll never know, because man hunted the flightless dodos to extinction, believing their bellies to be filled with gold. Granted, they were filled with gold, but now there's no bird-gold for the rest of us. Thanks a lot, humans.
5) C Humans go Argh! to express their innate frustration that stabbing plants doesn't cause a delicious sugary goop to come out, even though that worked once, with maple syrup.
