This step you've got to be really careful with--if luck's not with you, you could have a pretty boring experience. A long line of horses slowly plopping through the mud, no one to really talk to without someone having to crane their neck at an awkward angle, nothing super exciting to do besides keeping your horse from stopping and eating the grass. But if you go early in the season, you might get a smaller group going out on the ride, so your guide might be able to talk to all of you from his place at the front of the line, and the two little girls and their father who are riding in front of you might give you new title ideas for the novel you've been working on. Your guide will snatch up daisies for the little girls and try to get them to sing "Let it Go" while you and their father laugh from behind. And you'll have a nice peaceful ride up a mountain to a breathtaking overlook of the turquoise lake below you.
If you're a hardcore horsey girl that enjoys galloping through fields, this probably isn't the trip for you, but for a relaxing time through the woods, definitely check out the two hour ride from the Apgar Coral before the July crowds swarm in.
