Recently we did a group ride with 8 of us. I was very impressed with the safety briefing and care the leaders too. Each rider was paired with an appropriate horse. A friend of mine was visiting from Michigan and beach riding is on her bucket list so of course we had to go here at my suggestion.
This time it was just the 3 of us and we opted for the longer beach ride. Our guide was Matt, who was one of the multiple guides who had taken us out on my previous visit with a larger group. He is excellent and very, very good at analogies when explaining to less experienced riders how to do something. He clearly loves his job and is an experienced rider.
The trails are scenic however it is public land so there are walkers, runners and dog walkers which you will encounter. We did canter and trot multiple times, ( this will depend on your level of experience and what you discuss ahead of time), however note that you may be limited if there are a lot of other people on the trails. I do feel this is good though since it is a safety issue.
I would suggest bringing your own hunt cap if you have one so you don't have to use one that others have ( think bowling shoes. They are sanitized but public).
Safety is a priority here. If you do have to leave a message, they will call you back but it may take awhile.
I definitely will come here again should I want to go trail riding. Also, if you have your own horse and can trailer, this is a great place to ride in Goddard Park.
2. Nathanael Greene Homestead

This visit was spontaneous as I saw the signs along the road for Nathaniel Greene' Homestead. I followed the signs into a neighborhood, parking is across the street.
Unfortunately, this place is only open on Monday, Friday, and Sunday; I was here on Wednesday.
I still got out of my car, looked around on the outside and read the information on the Homestead. As I was looking around I could only imagine how this placed looked before the existing neighborhood was built around it, I'm sure it was a nice homestead. I'll have to come again with my family and hopefully catch a reenactment of some sort.
