Have ridden there at various times over the past 20 years. Found the horses to be well taken care of and the trail guides courteous and interesting (some young, some older - they are well instructed and seem to take their jobs seriously).
I try to ride at off hours so that it's just me or a few others on the trail. Wish we could ride side by side but those are the rules so I respect that.
Lovely scenery and rides can be tailored to beginner through advanced. I think those who had a bad time should give it another chance. I don't know what lessons are like - I've only done the trail rides.
