Ponies were adorable!

4.00Carol knows EVERYTHING about Shetland ponies and it was fun to learn from her and pet the ponies. The ride to and from is more like a taxi ride than a tour. The driver was very sweet but didn’t give us much information about the town or countryside we drove thru. We saw in town that rides to the ponies were available for significantly less money, but I don’t think they included Carol’s presentation which was the highlight for sure.
Pleasant tour

5.00Driver was pleasant and informative. The van was comfortable. The ponies were adorable. It was just the two of us so the interaction we had with the driver was more like pleasant conversation than a tour.
