Amazing day on horseback!
The full day horse ride package from Mountain High River Deep is a great experience of two different tracks. The really nice lunch in between both rides is a great way to look back on the first trip. It offers a good option for people who have been on a horse before but do not have extensive experience. The second trip also included a lot of Lord of the Rings sites, which was awesome! I was allowed to rie a part with one of the guides as I felt confident enough, so personal attention was above expectations. Overall a great day!
