i went with 2 friends from work and 2 children of one of my work mates to go on a 1 hour trail ride. We had a great time.
The staff at the stables was excellent. They were confident, competent, and qualified. They were very concerned about the animals showing a lot of care (one had been riding since he was 5). They seemed to be enjoying their guests and the outdoors making chit chat and pointing out features of the trail. They were also great with my friends kids who hadn't ridden a horse (unless you count ponies in a ring guide).
I was a bit afraid since I had a small incident as a child with a large pony who didn't want to be ridden and had been leery of horses since but the experience with this staff and the majestic horse they introduced me to, Grey Cloud, changed my feelings. I still have deep reverence for horses but I may have lost the edge of my fear out on that pretty trail.
my friends and i are already planning our next trip.
