Excellent 5 stars - Very friendly and helpful. Good with riders with a wide range of riding experience and ability. I was worried about the ride as I have had both knees replaced and have hip issues. I started the ride and decided it was too much for me. They did not hesitate to take me back to the barn and the rest of the group continued. Cannot express how great they were enough.
