From the Horse's Mouth
Natalie taught us how to ride horses; her instruction was clear, gentle, and kind. She taught us the similarities and differences between English and Western riding. We loved our time with the horses, but especially because Natalie helped us understand how to best interact with the horses.

Many thanks to Natalie for helping make this part of our stay magical.
