Overall a nice ride - The path that we took with the horses was very nice, we went through town and up to a lookout where we could see a beach down below – very cool photo ops. Then, riding along Hawksbill beach was very cool. The horses are very sweet and well trained. It seemed they were a healthy weight and that the workers care very much about them.
