I
decided
to
book
the
5
day
āPacific
Crestā
trail
ride
for
experienced
riders
ā
and
it
turned
out
to
be
one
of
the
best
trail
rides
I
ever
did.
What
is
really
important
to
me
when
booking
such
holidays
is
that
the
owners
are
real
āhorsemenā
and
take
good
care
of
their
horses.
They
did
not
disappoint
me.
One
thing
you
need
to
know
upfront:
Most
of
the
rides
are
for
truly
experienced
trail
riders.
Which
is
great
if
you
do
have
this
experience,
because
itĀ“s
no
ānose-to-tailā
and
therefore
not
suitable
for
beginners.
I
think
they
do
offer
beginners
lessions
on
their
farm
as
well.
My
suggestion
is:
Do
yourself
a
favor
and
be
honest
to
yourself
in
terms
of
your
riding
capabilities.
The
horses:
Most
of
the
horses
are
Mustangs,
many
of
them
born
in
the
wild
and
domesticated
later.
They
are
extremely
sure-footed
and
reliable,
smart
and
very
ārideableā.
They
live
in
huge
pastures
in
a
big
Group.
On
the
first
day,
you
spend
some
good
time
with
them
before
going
onto
a
trail
ā
which
is
very
good
for
building
up
some
initial
trust
and
understanding
between
rider
and
horse.
The
rides:
We
decided
to
ride
in
the
early
mornings,
returning
around
lunch
time.
The
afternoons
were
far
too
hot
to
continue
riding
-
which
allowed
to
spend
some
free
time
on
the
farm
or
in
the
L.A.
area
for
the
humans
and
some
recovery
for
the
horses.
Daniela
doesnĀ“t
take
the
same
trails
every
day,
but
also
loads
the
horses
onto
her
truck
and
drives
to
trails
further
away,
which
is
nice
in
terms
of
variety
of
rides.
ItĀ“s
a
very
nice
mixture
of
mountain
climbing,
tiny
paths
through
bushes,
nice
trotts
and
canters.
The
location:
The
rooms
are
spacious
and
due
to
the
remote
location
of
the
farm
very
quiet.
Beds
are
super
comfortable,
the
shared
kitchen
and
bathroom
is
equiped
with
everything
needed.
They
do
also
offer
Quad-Tours
etc.
for
non-riders.
The
hosts:
Daniela
is
a
German
living
in
the
US
since
many
years,
so
you
can
communicate
in
german
if
you
like
/
need
to
and
of
course
in
english.
She
is
very
interested
in
getting
a
good
connection
to
the
guests,
but
absolutely
respecting
your
privacy
/
relaxation
time
if
you
need
it.
It
might
not
be
the
cheapest
offer
you
can
get
in
this
area
ā
but
to
me,
the
good
care
for
the
horses
(and
for
us
š)
were
definitely
worth
the
price.
