Manito Equestrian Center is a year-round equestrian facility located on a scenic 96 acre preserved farm in Allentown, Pennsylvania. We strive to provide the best possible experience for every rider, regardless of their age or ability. While our first priority is safety, our main goal is to have fun and enjoy horses.

Horses and riders alike are sure to love our beautiful and historic farm. With a two hundred year old bank barn boasting lovely dutch door stalls, a 90 x 140 foot indoor arena for all weather riding, a large outdoor arena, seven separate turnout fields lush with grass, and acres of trails, we are able to provide a soothing and relaxing atmosphere for both our two-legged and four-legged friends.

Our farm offers a variety of services, including riding lessons from beginner to the advanced levels, leasing programs, summer day camp, saddle club for kids, scout badge programs, birthday parties, and full boarding services. We are currently accepting new lesson students, summer camp applications, and boarders.

We invite you to come visit us today and tour our beautiful facility! To make an appointment, please call Lisa at (610)433-3707 or e-mail manitoequestriancenter@live.com

"Love of animals is a universal impulse, a common ground on which all of us may meet. By loving and understanding animals, perhaps we as humans shall come to understand each other". Dr. Louis J. Camuti

"We need another and a wise and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals. Remote from universal nature, and living by complicated artifice, man in civilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge and sees thereby a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion. We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate of having taken forms so far below ourselves. And therein we err, and greatly err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world more complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not underlings, they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendor and travail of earth". Henry Beston- The Outermost House.
