Our driver seemed rushed....

3.00Our driver seemed rushed. He asked us to come early. It was not a problem, so we came early. We started our ride and about half way into the ride he pulled over and said “You can take pictures here. You have 5 minutes”. There were no other stops. When we resumed the ride, we were passing other carriages and the other drivers were glaring at us. When we ended the ride, the next booking was standing there waiting. We asked for one more photo and the driver obliged. There were no carrots for the horse as advertised. Again, it all seemed very rushed. The carriage was nice and our horse, “Strawberry” seemed well taken care of. The ride was okay
