I visited Petra back in 2005 and it was a very enjoyable experience EXCEPT the Horse Mafia mentioned. The people were nice but they way they pushed those horses to exhaustion and injury pissed me off to say the least. I walked the Siq down and then took a horse back partially they way back up once a local encouraged me to do so. That poor horse almost collapsed and did hit his head against a rock and was bleeding. I immediately jumped out of the carriage and told the local man to bring the horse back to be treated! He said he would and did take the horse back to the stable.....who knows what happened to that poor animal and what goes on daily :( Good to hear.
