I didn't find this a problem, but others might! What could we do to improve this ride? I thought it was excellent and I've made 30+ other trails. How would you rate the difficulty of this ride out of 10 where 1 is very easy and 10 is very advanced? 7 Please explain why you scored it as you did It was quite fast paced, but all the riders were quite experienced and under 40years old. 2 riders had rather slow horses and had to stay on the end all week,which was a shame for them.There is alot of work with the horses, so I think it would be quite challenging for a 1st trail or inexperieced rider,and also tiring.Beach gallop was also challenging,long and fast----More an ''8'' Would you recommend Unicorn Trails to your friends?     (   ) NO     (X) YES Please give more details to explain your response 2nd trip with Unicorn. 2 friends have just returned from their 1st trail--in the Gredos---my recommendation. I would recommend Rudi's organisation, having ridden with him from C'an Jou. His assistant,Anne,the guide on Salvidor Dali trail was excellent--good personality,important in a guide. May we use you as a reference for other people wishing to go on this ride?     (   ) NO     (X) YES Any other comments Unicorn comments
