Great experience for first time rider

Sophie_Z, Mar 2026

My first time riding a horse, and it was an amazing experience! The saddle and stirrups felt comfortable and stable overall. My horse, Picasso, had a bit of personality—he didn’t like other horses passing him, which actually added a bit of fun to the ride. We rode for about 35 minutes to the waterfall viewpoint, where the staff provided water. There were also restrooms and a changing room so you could change into swimwear. From there, we hiked down to the waterfall and had about 40 minutes to swim (you’ll need water shoes). The water was very clean. The hike back up was a bit challenging because there are many steep steps and you gain elevation quickly. After that, we rode the horses back. ⭐ Overall, a great experience, especially for a first-time rider!
