If you're looking for well-kept horses with good disposition, you want to go to Rancho La Ponderosa, see Lucho and ask for Patrick as one of your guides. The horses are excellent, not pokey trail-ponies (unless you want that, then I'm sure they have one or two) and the tours are good. Experienced riders just have to display that they are in fact experienced, and the guides will give a little lee-way when it comes to the ride.
The rides on Aruba's beautiful rocky horizons doesn't have to be unpleasant. I've done it at least 3 times a trip over the last 8 years, and not a hassle or mishap yet. You just have to know what you're doing.
be well, ride safely when you get there, and say hi to Patrick from the "Rock Star" in Toronto
(his term, not mine...)
