Horseback Riding

[Melerella]

Does anyone have any information about horseback riding at Disney? I know a couple of people who've done it, but they never had a lot of information. It would be very helpful if there was anything else needed to know before making reservations. Thanks! = ).

I would call Ft. Wilderness to see what information they have. I know a friend of mine did that there.
