Was honestly a great experience, the team were very lovely and helped calm my friend down who was scared. The views were very pretty and the horses were very calm. The area is quite pretty also. I do think it’s quite long so just a warning to anyone who is expecting a quick journey. It’s quite slow and long but very peaceful and therapeutic. Would definitely recommend.
