I had a wonderful ride. The scenery was beautiful and the horses were very well trained and responsive. The only constructive criticism that I can contribute is that communication by the guides could be improved. I was at the back of the group and often the group would trot or canter without giving any warning or the guide would consult with the front riders but with no one else on the ride. This sometimes led to the back riders being caught unawares. Other than that, I would definitely visit again.
