I was diagnosed with a disability years ago. As part of that disability, I was unable to walk, but gained my strength and years later I felt that I could not only conquer my fear of horseback riding, but also show my disability it will not prevent me from enjoying my life.
So I get to the range and I'm excited! They bring my horse around, but I'm unable to mount it because I had muscle atrophy during my disability. Even tho I'm strong enough to walk around and even get on my elliptical (sometimes), my legs weren't strong enough to mount the horse.
I was sad for myself, but the team made me feel like it was ok... They gave me a smaller horse but I still couldn't mount it, so they let me go to the stables to meet the horses and were VERY kind to me. I felt terrible about wasting their time, but all they felt was empathy. I will be back... Now it's time to get on elliptical more than just " sometimes".
A company that can take care of a person physically is great... Emotionally...
Read moreSuper fun horseback trail ride around the vineyards. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. They provided us with boots and helmets and assigned a particular horse to each one of us. The ride was 50 minutes long. All along the ride, our guides were telling us about the winery, and a little about each horse, their personality, and life story. They also took a bunch of photos of us which let us focus on horse riding fully. The photos turned out very nice. I think it's a great way to spend a date with your significant other. Plus you always can enjoy some wine tasting and lunch after you are done with the ride....
Read moreFun little tour of a winery in Napa. Staff was friendly and helpful. After our 30 minute ride, we were allowed to stick around and say goodbye to our horses and pet the other horses in the small stable. Even though they were planning for a big event later that day and couldn't wine taste, we were still able to get shown the stills, grapes while talked to about their wine. They also let us taste a wine or two while they prepared for their event. Definitely...
