Finca Xetuc, Santiago Atitlan

Do not go on a trail ride with these people. It was the most dangerous horse experience I have ever been on. The owners and workers have no love for the horses, our trail ride leader was cursing at the horses and hitting them. The horses were skinny and malnourished. The "trail" was not even a trail it was a narrow path through farm land on uncovered ground. My horse kept spooking and me and my friend felt very unsafe the whole ride. In fact we felt so unsafe we asked to turn around and the trail ride leader would not let us. When we were going back to the farm they had us riding on a road where huge trucks passed by. Our horses took off at full speed when a gas tank truck came speeding by. Luckily no one was hurt, but it could of ended very badly. Do not ride with these people.

DO NOT BOOK WITH THESE PEOPLE! My wife just called me from Guatemala, terrified after her and her friend were intimidated, and coerced by the owner Jim to pay for a ride they weren't comfortable taking, after being lambasted for not wanting to leave their purses behind. I'm just about ready to book a plane ticket for the sole purpose of finding this ranch and setting this fella straight.
