The Posadas we stayed in wre great, the modern hotel near the stud was lacking in atmosphere, staff not great although it was very comfortable. We had to eat in a very stuffy dining room with the tv blaring, no real facilities for having a meal/drink outside.The trip to the stud was very worthwhile though. Would have liked to have drinks/dinner outside especially as we had hot weather.
The drinks charge was very reasonable and the hospitality in the posadas, wonderful.

The brochure says saddlebags available which is not the case, it was very lucky I took my bumbag.I never received the final ride info from Unicorn Wendy had to forward it, it should have come from Unicorn and I would have liked it earlier, it did not leave much time to buy anything extra highlighted in the brief.
trail rides take a lot of organising, finding horse and human lodging and lunch stop venues, but I would prefer longer mornings and shorter afternoons, it is also good to get back by 5-530 to have a bit of down time before dinner.It was nice not to move every single night.mThere was a lot of walking, a few trots would break things up a bit and speed up the ride

This was a great time of year to go, we were very lucky with the weather, though, the flowers were out of this world and the beauty of the landscape where we rode exceeded my expectations.
Information changed re saddle bags. We only send documentation to the "lead" client, the person that has made the booking and therefore the group leader, unless otherwise requested.
