What to expect
You'll meet at the property before first light and be fitted with a helmet. A guide leads you on horseback through mixed terrain—scrub and open pasture—at a steady walking gait. The ride takes about an hour and fifteen minutes total. As dawn arrives, the landscape gradually brightens around you. There's minimal technical riding; the focus is on soaking in the quiet and watching the valley come alive. You'll spend most of the time in the saddle moving gently forward.
Good to know
