Castleberry Riding Stables, Hot Springs Village

Perhaps if you have never been around a live, breathing horse you may find this ride acceptable. As an avid horse rider who was taken here on a date (by a city boy who knows nothing about horses), I couldn't disagree more. First of all, our poor horses seemed to be quite exhausted and VERY worn out. Mine kept tripping throughout the entire trail as though it were going to fall at any time. Second of all, the "trail" is no adventure! It is quite boring, vague, and extremely slow. Let me stress that it is VERY VERY SLOW! There weren't any notable views of what Hot Springs has to offer--just a slow, redundant drag through a bunch of nondescript woods. Please do these poor, tired horses a favor and let them rest--go somewhere more exciting!
