Great people, great service, great horse (Happy). Aaron was an exceptional, knowledgeable and patient host who engaged with the entire family on our tour. He told us about the good, the bad and the ugly of this beautiful city. He also had a nice mix of the paranormal and the abnormal history of St Augustine. He loves his horses and I have no doubt that loves and respects them back. This company truly takes great care of their horse family. I wish I had a pic to share as I know they help ratings so here is a pic of our rental Aaron dropped us off at as we were very close to historic downtown.
