Circle back to circle M - This was such an incredible experience. Not only did you get to ride some of the most beautiful horses on the planet. You learn an incredible lesson about the island and the ranches, and how they came to be. If I ever come back to maori, I will definitely go back to mendez.Ranch and ride the horses.I was lucky enough to ride kenny rogers.He was an angel.
