A Nightmare from Start 2 Finish!

PHONEHEATHER, Apr 2023

You have to find your own transportation to the “ranch” which was a pure nightmare. The “ranch” is like a biting fly infested Ethiopian village full of malnourished horses that are leased from the town’s people and “handled” by the hungriest looking poor little children I’ve ever seen. My children thought we’d traveled to some horrible 4th world Cambodian village where they have no food & no water. It was just a huge, dark muddy lot w/filthy animals & filthy people. One of my daughters cried to leave! In the midst of all of this nightmare is this one nice lady named Sylvie- but she didn’t give us the option to cancel our ride. So, we went and it was awful. I was going to tell her when we got back but she was gone. She did make sure we got back to our ship though! I was grateful for that.

Exceptional!

For the very first time ever riding a horse, I had an exceptional experience. Alex and Ramon made us feel comfortable riding and assured us from the start. The horses we rode, Mauricio and Paulito were so adorable and easy to ride. It seems they they had a little friendly competition going on ;) I will never forget my experience here...amazing memories!

Wonderful experience!

Sylvie and her dog were so nice. I really liked her, but The tour itself was unorganized and placed me in an awkward situation that could have been dangerous. I was the only one taking the tour and I was guided my a nice young man name Ramon. Sylvie the owner decided not to come. She said she usually comes when there two or more people. I thought it was better that she comes if it's only one person. I strolled along the beautiful beach with my horse and that was wonderful, but once we got to a secluded area, there were about 5-6 men and me only woman. One of the men started kissing me in the lips and complimenting me. I thought that this may not have happened if Sylvie came. But, the beach was beautiful, Sylvie was nice, Ramon was nice. It was just that by me being alone, the owner should have come along too.
