“Wij hebben een geweldige tour gehad. Mijn man en ik waren uiteindelijk met zen 2tjes, mooie fotos gemaakt en een hele beleving. Echter moet je kunnen paardrijden omdat de begeleiding zelf ook met het paard meegaat. Wel is het zo dat de paarden niet op het stand mogen waardoor je de zonsondergang te voet moet bekijken. Wij hebben echt genoten van de natuur die wij konden zien met de paarden. De mensen waren aardig en deden echt hun best om het voor ons leuk te maken.”
