We were are brought to their home and farm, and they set us up with a hair net and helmet. The horses are clearly well taken care of, calm and well manered. The guide helped my youngest (9yrs) who had never ridden before, which was great. Our guide’s English isnt 100% fluent however he understood well enough to decrease the language barrier sufficiently, making it quite pleasant to converse in simple terms.
