My daughter and I took the tour today. Our tour guide was outstanding. My daughter learned absorbed more history during our tour than she did over the last two days in the park. We were very impressed by how well cared for the horses were. The staff was amazing. You could tell that they love their jobs.

What an amazing experience. To take horses that might have such dark pasts and turn them into such gentle delightful animals is beyond impressive. I got the opportunity to ride Karl who was the sweetest gentle giant. Overall it was a perfect balance of history and riding and I would recommend it to anyone out there.
