The experience was poor.
The trails have not been improved to be enjoyable in wet conditions. The mud was 8-12 inches, it was slow-going, ugly and the horses hated it.
They put our son(first time on a horse) on an irritable, unsafe horse WITHOUT asking who had experience on horses. When it was apparent my son could not handle the horse; they would not let me switch and the guide in the back was rude and impatient. Their solution of putting the horse on a lead with the front guide was not any safer as the horse continued to test my sons ability to stay in the saddle.
I was on an older horse, in her last season before retirement, and told to kick her hard to get her to keep up. She did not need to be kicked. She preferred a little distance from the horse in front of her. She made a path-choice and then she executed her chosen path with strength and grace. Asking her to follow on the horse in front of her's ass was a poor choice for her. Our back guide was annoyed with me for allowing my horse to wait for the horse in front to pass completely through difficult areas before going but then they were commenting on how wonderfully and powerfully she was performing.
The guides chose a very steep trail turn around because we were out of time. The front guide stopped to watch us go up which meant we had to stop on the slippy muddy trail and when I was yelling for her to make room for our horses to get to the top on level ground, she was irritated and had to be asked repeatedly to MOVE. That is a basic guide skill and was very surprising that she lacked it.
The Owner and his son were lovely but the experience was unfortunate.

体验很差。
这些小径尚未经过改善,无法在潮湿的条件下享受乐趣。泥浆有 8-12 英寸,行驶缓慢,丑陋,马匹讨厌它。
他们让我们的儿子(第一次骑马)骑上一匹易怒、不安全的马,没有询问谁有骑马的经验。当我的儿子明显无法驾驭这匹马时,他们不让我换,后面的导游很粗鲁而且不耐烦。他们用前导板拴住马匹的解决方案并不安全,因为马匹继续考验我儿子留在马鞍上的能力。
我骑的是一匹老马,在她退役前的最后一个赛季,我被告知要用力踢她,让她跟上。她不需要被踢。她更喜欢与前面的马保持一点距离。她做出了道路选择,然后她以力量和优雅执行了她所选择的道路。让她跟在她屁股前面的马后面,对她来说是个糟糕的选择。我们的后面的导游对我很生气,因为我让我的马等待前面的马完全通过困难区域才走,但随后他们评论说她的表现是多么精彩和有力。
由于时间不够,导游选择了一条非常陡峭的小路掉头。前面的导游停下来看着我们上去,这意味着我们不得不停在湿滑泥泞的小路上,当我大喊大叫让她为我们的马腾出空间让我们在平地上到达山顶时,她很生气,不得不询问反复移动。这是基本的引导技能,但令人惊讶的是她缺乏这项技能。
店主和他的儿子很可爱,但这次经历很不幸。
