The 10 Best Other Outdoor Activities in Willamette Valley, Willamette Valley

Reviewed By doviepickering - Reno, United States

I have taken several riding vacation. This ride is at the top of the list. I have ridden there three times and it keeps getting better. I am older and ride two to three times a week. That prepared me for the long days in the saddle. In 2019 I did a horse drive in Idaho again long days in the saddle the only downside was the food and the attitude of our hosts they were for the most part very stand offish. They included the tip in the price of the trip most of the staff was family so that rubbed me the wrong way The Willamette Coast ride had great food, caring hosts and the best English riding to be found on the West Coast. What impressed me the most was the attention paid to the safety of the guests. I have been on rides where wearing a helmet was the exception. For the most part you are riding with strangers who may not have the riding experience expected for these ride one unsafe rider can endanger the rest of the group. I have seen the hosts at the Willamette ride evaluate the riding skills of the people and match them with horses that will keep them safe and still preserve the fast pace of the ride. I am going again in Sept.
