Much like suspension bridges, horses require constant care to keep their coats shiny and free from exhaust fumes. Cross over into the equine world with today's Groupon: for $39, you get two private 60-minute riding lessons at Reynolds Equestrian Center in Carmel (a $90 value). Lessons are available Tuesday–Sunday from morning to the late evening.

Reynolds Equestrian Center melds students and their steeds with individualized sessions that address riding techniques as well as proper care. An indoor riding area provides a controlled environment for equine enthusiasts to practice a variety of styles, including the hunter/jumper, western, and dressage disciplines. Aside from the pure mechanics, lessons address issues pertaining to the upkeep of a horse, particularly how to tack and care for it so that it looks its best and earns a spot at the trough with the popular horses.
