“Couldn’t recommend this enough! It was such a memorable experience. The horses are carefully chosen for you based on your height and experience. 3 hours flies by and the horses are so experienced you have nothing to worry about. The food afterwards was also delicious. Just a warning for those with motion sickness though, the drive to/from the ranch is quite bumpy so just be prepared.”

Everyone there was super friendly and understanding, making the change so smooth. After the ride, the owner even helped us call a taxi and made sure we got safely back to our hotel — such a thoughtful gesture that really left an impression! 🥹💖 The whole experience — from the scenic ride through the valleys to the warm hospitality — was just amazing.
