5.00A very friendly outfit, well-versed in what they do. The ride was lovely and our guide didn't keep up a stream of banter, which was nice as we had quiet time to enjoy the scenery. All in all a very enjoyable experience and would recommend it.
Not what or were we expected

2.00Check the map before you book! It’s NOT Sonoma, it’s in a state park 35 mile south. Yo also need to pay an entry fee of $20 dollars to get into the state park. We’d had to stand around for an additional hour because they were “ a bit behind”. There’s area BETTER choices in the area for this kind of activity
Poor horses

2.00There were a lot of people. One of the horses was sick and one kept tripping (perhaps a hoof issue). Trail was very dusty and the eyes of the horses were crusty. The horses do 4 rides a day.
Best day EVER!

5.00A wonderful experience!!! For my husband, his mother and myself as inexperienced riders, we could not have asked for a better, more welcoming, funny and gracious guides as Kevin and Alfredo. The route thru the park was beautiful. We can only recommend this experience to everyone.
