The most memorable part of our experience was the planted pine trees, the Boy Scout camp, the beautiful scenery, and being a first time rider. The tour guides made us feel comfortable and were very knowledgeable.

We took our four sons on a horseback ride on Christmas Eve. It was a beautiful day with great scenery. They were very friendly at the stable. We are not horse people so we didn't know what to expect. The horses were very well trained. It was a great time.

It was wonderful having you and your family ride with us. It is also appreciated that you took the time to let everyone know how much you enjoyed the ride. Of course, we can't take credit for the beautiful day. That was a gift from the LORD!

We have no riding experience. The tour guide kept us safe while guiding our family thru some steep hills. We didnt bet on the beautiful landscape during our ride nor the small history and horticulture lessons. If you plan on having in the area for awhile this was def a god time to be outside with animals.
