This was the absolute best. No one in my family has ever been on a horse before, but this was essentially my daughter’s dream. So we surprised her with the tour today. It was worth every single dime. The guide that came with us was remarkable. She talked us through the sites and helped us learn to ride. The tour also goes through some wooded trails. Honestly, this is a forever memory. The horses were so good. They pair you up with horses that match your ability. It was so clear that all the girls working there loved the horses. They were such professionals. Get there early because they book up. But we are all so glad we had this experience. Thanks for everything.

Great ride with our guide Renata. She was very knowledgeable about the island.

The staff were wonderful. My husband and I are both experienced horse riders. It was great that we were able to take horses out just the two of us. The trails were great and we enjoyed the two hour ride.

Great experience! If you are a little more experienced/comfortable you can ask to be able to ride off on your own for a bit. Bryan (not sure if spelled right) but she was a fun and talkative tour guide! I recommend getting there right when they open so you have first picks at times.

Mila Agosto | May 1, 2020
Brenda Cook | May 2, 2020

No, they don't allow you to go off the designated route whether you're with the guide or not. Most of the path is in trees and not on the paved roads.

I'm not sure. We rode Daisy and Oz. Daisy was awesome. Already planning to go back and I want to ride every day!!

My daughter will be 5 in December. Do you have any riding options for young children? We'll be visiting the island soon.

I'm not sure about their child riding options but their sister stable Jack's does drive your own carriage rides. She could still interact with the horse but still see the island

Do you take out first timers

Sara Carter | Aug 4, 2021
Janine Puleo | Aug 5, 2021

They absolutely will! The guides are extremely helpful, and they'll have you fill out a survey to get a feel for which horse best suits your needs. You'll be in great hands (or should I say hooves?!)

How strict are they about the weight limit? Do they weight you?

Brandon | Jul 5, 2021
Scott William Foley | Jul 6, 2021

The maximum weight is 250 pounds. They do ask for your height and weight on a form you have to fill out. They also have a scale. The horses' safety is a prime concern for them, so I imagine they take it very seriously.

Hi! I rode a horse there named Ellie, she was a paint (black and white) and I was wondering if she was still there? 😁 Also I had a great experience there, all the horses were great and the people were very kind.

Erica J | Aug 4, 2021
Janine Puleo | Aug 5, 2021

She is still there and spunky as ever ☺️ I was just there this past weekend, and she was a busy girl!

can u ride the horses along the beach

Sandy Fitschen | May 1, 2020
Melanie VanDyke | May 2, 2020

You can ride along the outside loop of the island, which has a bit of shoreline, but not really a good beach. I recommend biking M-8, with the hills, it's a very easy ride, then using the horses to travel inland and up.

Will they match you with a group if your a solo rider

Sue Lotito | May 1, 2020
Lily Jesswein | May 2, 2020

Yes depending on what time you go and the other group goes.
