    My husband and I recently did the 2-hour trail ride and thoroughly enjoyed it! Our horses were well-behaved and well cared-for, and the scenery on our ride through the hills and woods was beautiful. We also enjoyed getting to see all the cute dogs that live at the stables. Highly recommend!

    Gorgeous views, knowledgeable guides, great times. Our 8-year-old’s first time in a horse and she loved every moment. So did we. Highly recommend!
