A wonderful experience
A wonderful experience. Cantering along and almost empty Cape Trip Beach with the horses on the edge of the water was great.

scenery was just amazing!
The horse ride was spectacular! As someone who had never ridden a horse until this experience, I found the horse easy to ride and control under the helpful guidance of the guides. The scenery was just amazing!
