Sunset Guided Trail Ride in Casco

The overall feeling given off by you is not a welcoming one! Your email says the meeting area is in the parking lot by the sign… we were ALL there waiting until you came up and gruffly said parking is in back. Ok no problem… ! But not welcoming. No introduction.. just “ who has riding experience”. Ok….then came the instruction… very clear that you’ve watched a lot of beginners… however you are offering a service to beginners who may have never touched a horse before… spending 5 minutes to give clients a moment to acclimate to the horse and surroundings I think would be beneficial and welcomed AS A GUEST. Funny, you acknowledge that people say you yell while on the trail… understandable as horses are large creatures and you’re dealing with beginners who don’t know the ins and outs of horses but…. If there was other conversation the yelling wouldn’t remain the ingrained memory! The trail was a let down… in and out the same way… view of Washington was spectacular however that’s about the extent of that! So overall… you provide a service to people that are influential … you could have swayed 8 people into equestrian shenanigans however your experience left at least 4 of us with a rotten taste in our mouth! The love for your horses and farm and way of life was not conveyed in the slightest!

I recommend calling to book or calling to confirm your online booking. Our reservation didn’t show in their system so they were not expecting us. The normal guide wasn’t there because of this but the owner still took my daughter and I out. There is a big dog there- sweet and fun but just an fyi incase you are afraid of dogs. I thought he was great and entertaining as he went on the trail walk too but my daughter with her fear of dogs felt nervous. The ride itself was relaxing and we had a nice clear day with a good view of Mount Washington in the distance. Trail goes behind several houses, would have been nice if it was more secluded. Overall an enjoyable experience.
