    A few years ago, my family and I visited your ranch and had an excellent trail ride experience with ********** and another lady. Throughout the ride, they engaged with us, ensured our safety, and shared details about the surroundings while capturing memorable photos. It was truly a fantastic experience.October 12th we booked another ride for 7 people. Having recently moved to the area, my family had never ridden before, and I had told them how amazing our previous experience at your ranch was. We drove 2 hours and spent $900 to return.I spoke with ***** at the time of booking and mentioned that it was my birthday, and we had family in town. She wasnt very engaging as we got settled on the horses. She explained she would provide reminders about reins, posture, and leaning, and never did. After her initial instructions, the ride was quiet. Apart from our own family conversations, there was minimal interaction or commentary from the wranglers. It lacked the warmth and engagement we had previously experienced.When we reached ****************, the photo opportunity was brief, and ***** informed us that we would be heading back due to time constraints. She mentioned that having more horses in the group took up additional time. I expressed disappointment, as we saw bare trees and open areas. Throughout the ride, ***** seemed disengaged, and I noticed she was on her phone. I understand that personal events can happen, as whatever was going on, affected the overall experience. After reading reviews, I saw many guests praising the wranglers for their enthusiasm and conversation, which made me feel disappointed about our own experience. Toward the end of the ride, our last rider unfortunately fell off his horse. He was not badly injured, but it was concerning that the wrangler at the back did not notice the saddle sliding off. My daughter overheard her telling ***** that she hadnt seen what happened. This highlighted the lack of attentiveness and guidance during our ride.
