I had a great experience here. Everyone was very nice. We did the 1.5 hour. Our horses were very calm. I rode Georgia and my bf rode Scarlet. Our guide was sweet and friendly. I don't know how to spell her name (Tulare). The price was reasonable for what we got. Beautiful views. I will definitely be back. Would love to do the 3 hour one maybe!! 10/10 recommend.

Great experience for a first timer on the guided tour. The horses were gentle and knew the paths well. Customer Service was good- friendly. I’m not sure if you can bring your own carrots, but I’d recommend it if you can. I think they were $6 or so a carrot to feed the horses. Five stars if the trails had been a bit more interesting. The experience was definitely about enjoying being on a horse.

I got a great guide (Jesus). He was friendly and personable. He even honored my request for a speedy horse. I only give 4 stars because the barroom needs some tidy up. It was pretty dirty, full of spider webs and no paper towels. However, my overall experience was excellent.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.
