The directions were a little tricky to find if you are relying exclusively on map ap. There was a sign at a juncture with the stable name but no arrow (or I failed to notice it). It is NOT at the marina. The horses are stabled elsewhere and brought out to the starting location. The ranch hand was in the process of bringing out another set of horses so we arrived with no one around, only for a few minutes. Helmets are provided and everyone is encouraged, but not required to wear one. The horses seemed to be happy and well cared for. Most importantly they were very calm docile animals and didn't seem to mind having rookies on their backs. Most of the horses were quarter horses or similar size, I rode a clydesdale so I had less room while going under branches but that wasn't much of a hardship, however, I would recommend wearing long sleeves to help avoid any scratches that might occur while riding close to bushes. The views were amazing. Our guide provided some interesting information about the area. I was 2 horses back and didn't have trouble hearing what she said but those further back may have missed some commentary. I would absolutely take another ride with them and recommend them to anyone interested in going on a ride. We were on the longer vineyard tour, but would not have minded a longer ride.
