Enjoyed a superb 2 hour trek amidst stunning scenery. As a rusty rider, I really appreciated Chris' ability to cater for all levels with his horses. Total beginners can walk safely and those that want to can canter across the paddocks. Would return in a heartbeat.
Spent awesome 2hrs riding really calm horse over beautiful landscape. Had hot chocolate and scone on break with breathtaking view.. One of the best experience. Thanks Chris and Abby.

這是我最棒的騎馬經驗
雖然我只是個初學者,但我很喜歡看騎馬過程中的風景,所以我在澳洲、夏威夷、..很多地方都會去騎馬看風景,但這裡的風景真是太棒了,甚至會帶你到私密景點,由高處往下看河川。如果你想嘗試高階騎馬的人(例如跑、斜坡上下),他們也很樂意教你。
