This was the highlight of our trip! The scenery was beautiful, the people were friendly and helpful, and the animals were very well cared for. I would highly recommend this to visitors with previous horseback riding experience, but they accommodate beginners, too. I just feel that this particular activity would be more appealing to those with experience who have been underwhelmed on other horseback riding excursions.
Unlike most horseback riding experiences at tourist destinations, this one is more adventurous, including the opportunity to canter (run) if you want. I thought the staff did this very safely, though, by thoughtfully matching horse and rider; allowing short “practice” runs before the long one; coaching the riders on technique; and, of course, allowing you to skip it completely if you’re not comfortable. My husband and I had a great time and have already recommended this to others.
