My group had an amazing time going on the trail ride. Everyone talked about how they wanted to come back and do the 2 hour session. All the horses were so cute and friendly!

We had a great ride, I am an experienced rider and found the trails exciting. Some of the hills and slippery ledges might be a bit much for a novice. Gypsy was my horse and she was very well behaved. We had a great time
