Very friendly welcome. No problem with security issue. I rode One the first day and a mare whose name I forgot the second (ex broodmare broken in at 10 years old...) they were both impeccable and adorable! I appreciated the comfort of the upholstery.
I appreciated the home cooking of my hostesses who ideally adapted to my vegetarian diet. Very pleasant accommodation with every comfort.
Great first trail riding experience!
