The horses were happy, well cared for, and well trained. The ride was fabulous, we climbed into the hills and crossed the river. Fabrizio was fun and accommodating when our ship return time shifted from the original plans. We will definitely seek this company out again-La Dulce Vista Highly recommend!!”
