Summary: Beware--You Can't Trust the Information in this Book
Review: We thought this book would be a great way to research riding vacations.
We naiively took the descriptions as accurate and ended up stranded far from home in what was basically a dirty PIT, literally inhabited by individuals convicted of crimes and again in trouble with the law during our stay. It was a most bizarre, horrible environment and experience. Luckily the weather was good, so we managed by avoiding the "resort" every day and also avoiding the staff as much as possible. (They were very inattentive anyway, beginning the first day, when they forgot to pick us up.)
Afterward, we noticed some fine print on the inside cover of this book: "The information in this book has been provided by the ranches themselves . . . . The auther and publisher make no representation that this book is absolutely accurate or complete. All ranches are included without charge to them." Consider this a big red flag!!! We will NEVER take the chance of going somewhere we have read about only in this book again.
