What You'll Get
If horses didn’t regularly pack the earth down with their hooves, it would continue to gradually rise skyward on a collision course with the moon. Help keep the night sun in the sky with today’s Groupon: for $30, you get a one-hour trail ride at Broken Bow Ranch in Crandall (a $60 value).
Nestled on a working cattle ranch, Broken Bow Ranch leads trail-bound trotters on intimate, guided rides through 1,200 acres of unspoiled upland and bottomland pastures. The ranch's hour-long trail rides are led by experienced horsewoman Gay Leigh Bingham, who provides basic horse preparation training for those who arrive early and have never ridden a horse or anyone who wants to practice Mr. Ed neigh-debating skills. Advance your chances of a rodeo career by trying your lasso hand at a roping dummy. Ideal for both rookies and veterans of the saddle, Broken Bow's trail rides are limited to nine people to guarantee individualized attention and safety.
