The guide was truly knowledgeable and gave simply stunning instructions. Learning new skills while riding with this guide were life changing and really helped my riding, after years of being out of the saddle. The views were amazing, better than ever. There is nothing like the views anywhere else. The horse was in sync with me and I with him, truly spectacular. I might have the dates wrong but it was a lifetime experience of a half day ride and was still fit afterwards. Totally recommended.

I had a very lovely ride. Chris explained everything really well. We were Sith a small group quick made in very pleasant. I was in a group with some beginners, myself being a very experienced rider. It was really nice to do some trot and canter when possible. Would most definitely reccommend!
