- JJaneabout provider19 Sep, 2023This was my second visit, and this time I opted for the mini beach trail with two friends. I was reunited with a small Arab mare who, despite being 20 years old, showed no signs of slowing down. Despite the wild and windy weather, the three long days in the saddle, along with short rides on arrival and departure days, were filled with fun and plenty of trots and canters wherever the terrain allowed. The highlights of the trip were the ferry crossing and the exhilarating beach gallop on pristine, firm sand at low tide. Tarika was like a bullet once we got the signal to go—I've never moved so fast! This experience is definitely recommended for experienced riders.

This ride is truly unforgettable! We opted for the Morgan Bay afternoon ride and were mesmerized by the stunning scenery of the Morgan Bay Cliffs, topped off with a thrilling canter on 'Golden Mile' beach, all within 2 hours. Our group of 5 was accompanied by 3 guides who exhibited kindness and professionalism, especially towards the less experienced riders, ensuring everyone felt confident and enjoyed the ride. Each horse in our group was remarkably well-behaved and obedient. I highly recommend booking an experience with them - my own was exceptional! - PPetraabout provider7 Jul, 2022
I just completed the 6-day Wild Coast Trail, and it was absolutely fantastic! The scenery and views were breathtaking, and our guide Tertia was both fun and knowledgeable. My horse Lizzie was a true gem—calm, relaxed, and incredibly surefooted, even on the most challenging terrain. Each day on the trail brought something new, from riding along beaches to traversing hills, gorges, and rivers. The riding was quite intense, with a mix of fast and long rides, so it's important to have sufficient horse riding experience for this trail. However, they also offer shorter rides along the beach for beginners. Huge thanks to Julie-Anne, Tertia, and Bianca for an unforgettable experience! - Patricia
