Tips from the Community
I'm not a fan of it because I feel sorry for the animals. But you have to admit that all the horses looked very well-fed and cared for.

An easy hike. Take the timing with a grain of salt. You will probably take more time for all the pictures and if you like info boards, give yourself even more time! Great rundown of some of the history, and great views, with an easy paved path.
