“I reached out to the operator to confirm my dates would work before booking 2 months in advance. About a week before my trip the operator asked if I could change the dates. I was unfortunately not able to and then a day or two before my booking it was canceled by the operator.

Operator did suggest another contact I could reach out to in order to book a different horseback riding experience, but I sought out another company on my own. I did pass by Rancho…”
