I just went on this awesome horseback riding tour in Borjomi, and let me tell you, it was absolutely amazing! We rode through some breathtaking scenery, and I felt like I was completely one with nature. The guides were super cool - they knew everything about the place and were so passionate about horses. If you're up for a special adventure, I totally recommend giving this tour a shot 🌟🐎

It was awesome, I hadn't been on a horse in ages. The scenery was stunning with those mountains and forests, and Tango, the horse, was super friendly too. Such a great trip!
