If you like something easy and enjoyable, this is the thing to do. Yog get into a covered wagon, ride for 30 or so minutes, and then you get an excellent meal in a cabin. The horses were guided by Shauna, who could answer any question related to the horses on the resort. She introduced us to many of the other horses on the trip back. Jakub explained to us about the geography around the resort, and stories of things in the local area. If you want to travel fast, get on an ATV. If you want a pleasant day with pleasant people, try this.

I'm not sure why more people haven't reviewed this activity. We were picked up at our hotel and driven to our destination, where we were loaded into a covered wagon led by 2 beautiful big Percherons, Lucky and Mike. We rode for quite awhile along a path over the tundra while our guide taught us about the landscape and about the horses. We worked our way to a pavilion where we were served a family style meal of wine, chicken, barbecued ribs, salmon, rolls, coleslaw, pasta salad, potatoes, corn on the cob, baked beans, and cobbler. Everything was good, and we had the opportunity to talk with our fellow travelers. Before heading back, we interacted with and took pictures with the horses. It was an enjoyable evening.
