Follow the rules and you’ll have a great time. The rules: 1. Read the email you’re sent prior to your ride 2. Don’t lie about your weight (your safety and your horse’s safety depends on it) 3. Don’t try to sneak banned items onto the trail 4. Arrive on time (just like when you were in school, no one’s going to repeat instructions just for you. They’re also not going to hold up the group just for you) 5. Listen to the guides during the ride It’s that easy. My group of 10 had a great time. The host was efficient, funny, and professional. The guides were very helpful. We’d definitely book here again.

Greed took the fun out of it. These people are quick to cancel your reservation if you’re late to their 6 minute talk about how your feet are attached to your body. The riding demo was useless if you truly know nothing about riding. These people don’t allow you to bring your phone on the property because you might take a picture. They sell picture packs starting at $45, I’ve been to much better ranches and they just texted me the pictures for free. As soon as I got on the property, it was clear that the driving factor is not the customer having a good time, it is only to make money. I wouldn’t go back if you payed me.

I had a horrible experience with this company. I’d never ridden a horse before, but wanted to try something new. The demonstration was 3 minutes long and wasn’t very thorough. The guides then let my whole group leave without me. Then when instructing me and me asking for clarification they shouted at me and said in a very condescending tone, “Didn’t you listen to the demonstration? You no watch? You no hear?”. I was uncomfortable the entire ride and they did nothing to help. They did end up moving me up with my group, so our horses were together which was nice. My group signed up for a 2 hour sunrise beach ride and it was only an hour and a half. After getting back and trying to dismount, I got yelled at again even though I followed their directions. I’ll never be going back and because of them, I may never try to ride a horse again. If you’re a first time horse rider, this is not the place for you. I wouldn’t want your first time to be tainted by a horrible and traumatic experience like mine was.

I had the best time ever at Seahorse Ranch with my family. My mother booked a family ride for my baby sisters 24th birthday. We had a party of 10 including my 10 year old handicap nephew and 6 year old niece. We communicated to the host about my handicap nephew and she was able to make special arrangements for him. We were surprised to see a personal and professional photographer with us on the ride to capture our moments as a family together on the beach ridding horses. "DO NOT PUT YOUR KEYS IN YOUR FRONT SWEATER POCKET" I made that mistake after they told me not to have anything in my pockets..(totally my fault, I should have left my keys and personal items in the office like everyone else) Sooooooo, I had to leave my car over night on their property while I drove 6 hours home to get my spare key. When I arrived the next day, my car was just the way I left it. ALL THE STAFF WAS FRIENDLY AND SUPER ACCOMMODATING. I CANT WAIT TO GO BACK. THAK YOU SEAHORSE RANCH FOR THE AMAZING EXPERIENCE.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Questions & Answers

dawn rivera | Aug 23, 2018

Depends how long of a ride you want to take the beach ride it's 1.5 hours and 80.00

How can I speak to someone because your website says to call to book? I have left a message and nobody answers during your business hours or returns a call?

Attosha B | Aug 22, 2021
Willa Chapman | Aug 22, 2021

Attosha, sorry you've had trouble reaching us. What the website does is suggest you call us to see if there is any availability--if there is, it shows you that you are able to book your ride. If not, it suggests you call to see if some cancellations have been received. So, you don't need to call to book--just locate a day and time which works for your schedule as well as ours, and set the reservation. Thanks.

I've never ridden before. Do I need to take some classes before make a booking? Thanks in advance!

Kiril Shivachev | Aug 22, 2021
Willa Chapman | Aug 22, 2021

No, you need no previous riding experience. We have horses for first time riders, and we do a pretty thorough riding demonstration before we put anyone on horseback. Thanks.

Will they allow me to take videos on my GoPro while riding? I do not see a point in paying extra for pictures. I want to be able to capture videos of the ride.?

Madura Hegde | Aug 22, 2021
Willa Chapman | Aug 22, 2021

We don't allow cameras of any kind while you are on horseback. If our photographer is here, which is generally weekends, he will be out on his Segway taking wonderful shots of each group. If he isn't here, your guides, with their smartphones, will be taking pictures of you, all along the ride, and then if you give him/her your phone number, they will send them off to you as soon as the ride is over. Thanks.

Do they let you run the horse's?

Renato Padilla | Aug 22, 2020
Linda Culver | Aug 22, 2020

Sometimes the horses pick up their own speed to get caught up. It all depends on your experience on riding. If no experience they won't. Safety is always first.

Odd question perhaps. When you have barn animals, horses for example, do you keep a journal of info on each horse? Health, weight? Or no journal writing at all.

Joyce Derenas | Aug 23, 2018
Sea Horse Ranch | Aug 23, 2018

We keep health records on every horse, including farrier records, dental records, vet visits, worming, health issues. Thanks

Is it better to book online or just walk in?

Sea Horse Ranch | Aug 23, 2018

Thanks for your inquiry, Souphan. We don't take walk-ins, so PLEASE book online! Hope to see you soon.

is there a weight limit for riders

Lisa Lang | Aug 23, 2018
Dan Kuehner | Aug 23, 2018

Their paperwork says 240lb weight limit. But they said that riders bigger than that *may* be accommodated if a capable horse is available. Best to call in advance to set that up specifically.

Do I need to book in advance?

JM AG | Aug 23, 2018
Richard Emery | Aug 23, 2018

I too would Recommend making reservations in advance
