No precautions on what (dangerous events) that might happen, like how my horse would jump when it was startled. It jumped 2 times in between the rides and the experience was quite scary for a first timer. Did not expect that to happen, the guide saw that and did not say anything too. She was good in explaining the history of the place but mostly interact with the person right behind her, I could only hear some things when she was loud enough. In my opinion, there were only 2 riders that day, she was able to talk clearly to me when my horse stopped for pooping, so it shouldn't be a problem to interact with both of us. And when the ride ended, she only said goodbye and did not emphasize on my encounter or whatsoever. I took the initiative to mentioned again on the horse jumping thing, but she only say it happens because the horse are trying to keep in line too. Summary: I am disappointed with the interaction with guide, explanation on horse jumping (startled), and would suggest the team to have clear instructions, precautions and the horse's behaviour before riding. (My horse like to detour a lot but I was only told about that during the ride, personally I would prefer every precautions beforehand)
