The pace and length of time on the horses was very relaxing. Nice that the prep time did not cut into the riding time. Two French girls working there for the summer were very helpful. Transportation to the farm was not clear on Trip Advisor. Took a taxi. Found out later you had to contact the farm ahead of time to schedule
