We had a good time. My particular horse Ed was a bit contrary. Be sure to check which trails you book in advance. We did the combo of fern/ azalea which I didn’t know upon booking. It was a very long ride with very steep hills, rocky , you will brush trees and branches and it’s very uneven. About 2.5 miles and took a little under two hours. There was one lookout spot that was beautiful but the rest was trees, hills and brush not the breathtaking views I thought we would see (as the website shows) These trails seem to be for a medium to advanced rider. You watch a long 30min home video of do’s and dont’s before you ride and they do provide helmets as well. Not sure we will be back again but overall glad that we experienced the ride.
