I have been here many times over the years, and it has certainly not the same.  I took my 6 year old grandson for his first trail ride.  Just the two of us with a bunch on other unknown people.  Knowing it was just he and I, they felt it was just fine and dandy to put him up in front with me behind four other riders.  When they initially were starting the trail ride, I informed whomever was lining us up that I wanted to be with him and I was informed since it was his first ride, they thought it best to have him go first.  Fine, but I should have gone next.  I have been there in the past with my granddaughter and never had that happen.  A wonderful memory between my grandson and I was just turned to crap.  I realized I should have been more vocal, but that is not me.  Thank you MacDonald Ranch for ruining a beautiful time between my grandson and I.
