The horses were nice overall. The short history lesson is interesting ! The horses do try to stop / stop and eat but you need to be a little firm. Would recommend for couples / single riders/ families anyone over 12. Very dusty bring shades / maybe even a bandana & clothes you don’t care about - comfortable shoes - clothes.
