What the day feels like

What the two hours feel like

The group assembles at the stables, meets instructors and mounts for a steady, walking-only trail that threads hills and tracks up to a lookout; it’s deliberately unhurried, focused on scenery, animal sightings and a relaxed photo stop before returning to the stables.
