Horsemanship was once a vital skill, much like the ability to avoid sailing off the end of the earth or the ability to discern which pizza trees were poisonous. Master an ancient art of survival with today’s Groupon to Avalon Stables in Lutz. Choose between the following options:

• For $55, you get two one-hour horse experience lessons (a $180 value).

Avalon Stables’ team of accomplished equestrians imparts skills and knowledge through hands-on instruction to steer students of all skill levels through horse-riding lessons. Tranquil, verdant pastures lay the backdrop for learning to gussy up a gallop. Trot forth on one of Avalon’s eight lesson horses that are easily coerced into cantering or sitting on a barstool. Families of up to four can stride alongside one another and settle arguments about whose John Wayne impersonation looks most like a Napoleon impersonation.
