There was a slight chnage to the published route and accomodation as we stayed in a hunting lodge one night rather than in a guest house in a village for two nights on the trot, but from what we gather this only enhanced the trip for us. Was there anything you should have known and were not told?     (X) NO     (   ) YES Please give more details to explain your response What could we do to improve this ride? Nothing really. How would you rate the difficulty of this ride out of 10 where 1 is very easy and 10 is very advanced? 6 Please explain why you scored it as you did It was not a technically difficult ride with plenty of slower paced riding and the horses are incredibly well behaved. However you do need to be comfortable trotting downhill over rough terrain and canter/galloping again on uneven terrain. Would you recommend Unicorn Trails to your friends?     (   ) NO     (X) YES Please give more details to explain your response Definitely, we had a great time. May we use you as a reference for other people wishing to go on this ride?     (   ) NO     (X) YES Any other comments Excellent recommendation Danni. Thanks! Unicorn comments
