"The ride was on a dirt/rock road rather than a trail so we were passed by vehicles and motorcycles which was not as pleasant. Most of the ride had beautiful views, the horses were very calm and relaxed but seemed to struggle with the terrain and seemed very low on energy, not enjoying their experience being out much. The guide was very sparse and didn’t say anything about the area, the horses, the process or interacting with myself or the one other person beyond taking a lot of videos and photos on request of the other person. It was a calm enjoyable experience but also a bit uncomfortable with the guide and horses seeming not to enjoy it. I liked that it was quiet aside from traffic and a small group rather than touristy. When we returned the horses were simply left with their tack on and not tended to which was a bit worrisome too as they clearly worked hard and were very hot and could have used at least their saddles and equipment removed and a brush to cool down as it was a hot day. They had access to water but other wise were not cared for from what I could tell. The guide also gave us each a small cake afterwards which was nice but on our way out so it seems like he forgot until the last moment, I’m not sure if that was supposed to be included. There were no signs or directions about the netting location or the process or introduction to the activity other than “reins right or left”. I helped to guide the other person in how to work with the horse as the guide was very quiet and didn’t help much except when the horses went to get a drink at a creek when we stopped to prevent them being caught in barbed wire.

"I was not happy. I had to take a bus when i was already at the extremo. I let my family to go alone. It was to long bus and car.when I reserved it was supposed to be just on the site. I will not say anybody to booked that. I pass more time in a bus that on the horse. "
