5.00Definitely a great experience. Luckily me and my wife were the only ones for our time slot. I didn’t know the place is in a state park. So be prepared to pay to enter the park. Also if you do have back problems it is a bouncy ride when they trot. My bottom felt it. Also take care of your belongings because things can fall off. (Hats, wallets, phones). We definitely want to come back with my family and do a bigger group.

5.00I actually did not go on this experience. I needed to cancel and the vendor was very good about it. Apparently Viator still thinks I went that leads me to believe I better check to make sure if they gave me a credit for the payment..

4.00Overall it was a fun experience. I was disappointed with the tac (saddle) which for me the stirrups were too small but nothing was done to correct that. Ironically my wife’s stirrups were too large. My wife also lost a jacket on the tour and I’m pretty sure it would be obvious on the trail but we never got a call back that it was found. We crossed a couple streams which was really cool but overall not a lot of scenery to take in. So for the cost, it was a bit pricy but a fun experience out of the norm.
Relaxing fun experience....
