My friend was really happy with the tour and the horse so that is a five stars for her, but on my side, I was given a horse as stubborn as me and being a complete beginner with horses, I spend my hour trying to make it follow the others instead of watching the nice surroundings. So, it was a lot of fun "talking to the horse", but that, I could have done it at home... Anyway, thanks Sun Dance, I loved the relation we had that hour and the time we spend later on :)

Correspondence prior to ride stressed to be on time. The ride started for about 10 minutes, then we sat and waited for 2 more riders to join us. Apparently 'be on time' is fiction.
