The horses were ready to go when we got there. They thanked us for riding with them. We did sign a waiver. It seemed like there was an opportunity to do the waivers on line. So that's probably my what I would have done different. My 2 kids under 18 loved it! They gave my youngest a very calmest horse. He was the leader of the ride. There were people around, fishing. They didn't seem to mind. Overall, 5 stars! Will definitely come back again!

He said he text me at 3:30pm On Thursday and asked to confirm by 5pm for a 6pm appointment. I was working and had my phone on silent (I work from home and have my laptop with me)... I got off at 5pm to leave for the appointment, saw the messages and called right away. He wouldn't budge and cancelled my appointment. He did not tell me on Wednesday, when I scheduled the appointment, that I would need to confirm the appointment the next day... I would have turned my phone off silent or called before 5pm.
