Our horse paddocks are situated above the golf course at Kei Mouth Country Club, the base for short day rides and overnight beach trails. Conveniently located between Morgan Bay and Kei Mouth, this makes for a perfect day trip for guests at Trennerys Hotel or Seagulls Hotel across the Kei River.

Upon arrival, you’ll meet our friendly team and horses, receive a safety riding hat, and complete a simple indemnity form. Once mounted, we provide riding instructions, check your stirrups and saddle, and ensure you feel comfortable and safe before setting off.

Along the trail, there are plenty of photo opportunities, and our guides are happy to stop for a “photo shoot” so you can capture fabulous memories on the edge of Africa. We offer a wide selection of horses, suitable for most riders, with a weight limit of 95kg for your safety and the welfare of our horses.

This 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!

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
