Came here for an anniversary trip and had the greatest time riding with Kait and Mark. The trail was so peaceful and the horses know it like the back of their hooves so you barely have to do anything. We enjoyed a great morning in the woods! Shoutout to our noble steeds Simon and Branch. We miss you guys!!!
