This trail is possibly the easiest going of all the riding trails. However a reasonable amount of fitness is still required by the rider and horses are to be fit and shod (or boots) as the surface is stony.  There are two stopovers where we spent two nights at each.  If people wish to shift floats etc its up to them to organise.
