Query: Very thorough - could be more critical

Overall, I have found the book very helpful - it covers a vast range of guest ranches across the US. Lots of fun to read and plan the next trip - great photos.The descriptions are generally complete and describe the key points about the accomodations, dining, and activities. However, they tend to read as if they were authored by the owners of the ranches - there are very few, if any, critical comments that might be helpful to guide the reader in their selection (quality of the horses, the accomodations, etc.). Although almost all of these facilities offer horseback rides for the beginning rider, I would like to see more explanation (where applicable) of the rides offered to the more experienced rider who may be looking for something more than the typical nose-to-tail trail ride.But overall this is a very nice book and a greating starting point for researching a horseback vacation.
