The range of experience was very little to "I used to ride a lot when I was young.....over thirty years ago." Their introductory talk was spot on,... More

We had a great time on a two hour ride. The horses were in great shape and took direction well from a average rider. We will be in Oaxaca in the future and I would happily go riding with this company again. More

Horseback trail was... More
