“The horse ride was magical! Before the ride, I was checked to make sure my clothing and shoes were warm enough and provided with a lap blanket. We went through a sunlit snowy tree-lined road and up the hill path got more beautiful with every step. My horse followed the guide and was steady and knew what to do.
