Kelly cares about his horses, and he cares about the environment. The trail taken by the horses goes through a wildlife sanctuary where many endangered species nest. They blend in and do not disturb the wildlife. The gentle pacing of the horses' hooves cause no damage to the trail and the surroundings, unlike the impact of motorized vehicles. Kelly's horses are docile, disciplined, well-behaved and well cared for.
Groups are limited to a dozen or so riders.
One guide horse takes the lead, and another is placed at the rear as the ride begins and the horses trot leisurely. Along the trail, riders often encounter a wide variety of waterfowl and sea creatures, with sea turtles, blue heron, wood storks, osprey and even penguins the likely sights. Reservations are a must. Visitors should arrive at the ranch 30 minutes before ride time. During that half-hour, the riding equipment is adjusted for each individual and riders are taught how to manage the reins to signal the horse when to turn, start and stop.
