Horses and humans have worked together for centuries, transporting goods, fording rivers, and sharing the blame for the fall of Troy. Bond with the noblest of creatures with today's Groupon: for $25, you get a 2-mile guided horseback tour through Audubon Park from Cascade Stables (a $40 value). All participants must wear a helmet or sign a helmet-refusal waiver. This Groupon is open to those 8 and older.

Cascade Stables' well-versed staff leads small groups of equine enthusiasts (eight people per tour) along guided tours through the picturesque surroundings of Audubon Park. Saunter along sun-soaked trails and under verdant oak trees, glimpsing nearby lagoons as horses narrate the history of the area through four-part neighing harmonies. Riders need to wear flat, closed-toe shoes and are encouraged to don long pants.
