If you’re new to horseback riding or think you might be a bit uneasy, it’s best to go on a dry day when the ground hasn’t had rain for at least 24 hours. If it’s your first time on a horse, be sure to tell your guide and they will ensure a positive riding experience and help you feel comfortable on your horse.
