We totally LOVED our guided horse ride! Our horses were very well behaved. Our guide Laura was super friendly, professional and informative. We felt very safe the whole time while walking, trotting or cantering. The scenery was spectacular! We thoroughly recommend this exhilarating experience!

First time riding a horse and could not have asked for a better first-time horse riding experience. Morgan (my horse for the ride) was very experienced and professional and Kelly gave a great crash course on what to do and not to do to have a successful trip. Would do it again.
