Torn Review..._br/_ There are pros and cons to everything and I understand visiting another country (2nd trip) animals are treated differently. As a paying customer and animal lover, I expect animals to be treated with the best treatment, especially hauling horses. _br/_ The ride was great. Our guide, was good until we headed back to the ranch. I noticed that some of the horses were missing their shoes on the way to the waterfall and I mentioned it. _br/_ His response: 'It's not my job!'. Are you kidding me?! _br/_ My response: 'how would you like walking on rocks, cobblestone, and rough terrain all day?'_br/_ His response: 'ehhh- it wouldn't bother me'. _br/_ Yeah right. I did not appreciate his response and more importantly how the animals are treated. Horses are an attraction of Costa Rica and help provide jobs for locals. Mis-treating animals infuriates, saddens, and makes me feel guilty for paying a company that does not take care of their animals.

it was o, but could have been better if the guide would stop a few time for 30 seconds to let the guess take some pictures
