We loved our experience... - We loved our experience horseback riding! We arrived ~ 30 minutes early and sat in the stables enjoying the peace and quiet. We got checked in quickly and without hassle and the guides got some information from us and then selected horses for us. The guided tour was wonderful with several guides checking on our group along the way to make sure everyone was doing well. This ride may be frustrating for avid riders - many of the horses are all whoa and it's a job to make them keep up. For novice riders, it was great. Even our advanced riders enjoyed it despite the lagging horses due to the beautiful area we rode through including a herd of deer! Can't recommend this enough.

Dreamscape Ride - The girls at the stable were friendly and helpful and found the perfect horses for us. The view were absolutely spectacular and it seemed as if we were riding in a watercolor painting. They took pictures for us, made sure we were comfortable and provided an experience of a life time! So easy to get to from the Great Southern, easy parking too. Walking distance if we knew where we were going. Recommend this experience to anyone that loves the outdoors and riding horseback.
