The only thing is we needed a quick horse lesson before the trail ride because we were all beginners and relatively new to handling horses.
The stable's website says so too.
The girls had never ridden horses before and were apprehensive, but Marika and her husband were so good at getting the girls comfortable on their horses.

They took their time teaching my daughter who is a beginner rider.
It was our first time riding, there was a short but well executed lesson and we were off on our guided trail ride through: lush pasture, lively woods, and scenic mountain trails.

Beginner checklist
- Wear long pants and boots with a small heel. Flat sneakers can slip through a stirrup, and shorts let the saddle rub.
- Ask about helmets. Many stables lend riding helmets. Ask whether they have one that fits, or bring your own riding helmet.
- Tell them you are new. It gets you the right horse and the right pace.
