The day was brilliant. picked up by mini bus local to our hotel. took 30mins to get to riding centre. all waterproof clothing and helmets provided. very informative guides and great photo opportunities. horses were very tame and lovely to ride, me and my family stayed in the slow riding group as had never rode a horse, opportunities for others to join another group to gallop so was a nice balance. would highly recommend and we'll worth the money 😁🐎
Amazing experience for the ones who love nature. the best way to see the local landscapes is from the horse's back! Animals are cute and calm, but with some wildnwss I. them too. The guide was really friendly and attentive. Great half a day! P.S. The bust driver forgot to pick us up, but the company has arranged private taxi which was really nice touch. Thank you!
