Had an absolute blast on this trek! My husband and I enjoy horse rides every now and again, and this is the top of the list. It was a significant and beautiful trek around a mountain and we got to do a little trotting and cantering on the horses. Emily was a great guide and made sure we were all had fun and were safe!
