A Family-Owned Business with 80+ Years of Equine Expertise Offers an Authentic Trail Riding Experience Just Minutes from Lehigh Valley Mall

COPLAY, PA – MAY 16, 2026 – Flying Spur Trail Rides today announced its grand opening, welcoming guests to enjoy guided, hour-long horseback riding experiences across 50 acres of scenic trails. Located just 15 minutes from Lehigh Valley Mall, the experience offers a peaceful escape that feels miles away from the everyday.

Guests ride in small groups of up to 8 through rolling meadows, wooded trails, and along one of the highest plateaus in the valley.

“Spending time with horses has a way of bringing a sense of calm you don’t always find day to day,” said Robert Shoemaker, owner of Flying Spur. “We wanted to create a place where people can step away from the noise, feel comfortable, and just enjoy being present in the moment.”

Family-owned and operated, Flying Spur brings more than 80 years of combined equine experience, creating a safe and approachable environment for riders of all skill levels.

Each ride is led by at least two trained guides, with helmets provided and recommended (required for those 18 and under). Each rider is thoughtfully matched with a horse based on age, size, and experience level — horses range from gentle draft horses to smaller ponies, making the experience accessible to a wide range of riders.

Upon arrival, guests check in, sign waivers, get fitted for helmets, and board a complimentary

5-minute shuttle to the farm. At the barn, guests meet their horses while an attendant goes over safety tips and basic instructions before mounting and heading out to the trails.
