A ride on the beach!
I have always wanted to ride horseback on the beach, now I can say I have. Yes, it was a very controlled ride. In previous reviews I noticed some people griping about not "being matched with their riding ability". I grew up on a ranch and have a pretty exceptional ability--I also understand just how risky riding horses can be and how easily someone can get hurt-and they only have so many horses. I understand they can't really have "high spirited" horses and take the chance someone wouldn't be able to ride and get hurt. I was very pleased with my horse and I was riding with my granddaughter (2.5yo) it was a big old draft horse. He behaved very well and the ride was quite enjoyable. Would I loved to have been able to take off at a gallop through the water? Sure, but you just can't when you're in a group situation like this. The "wranglers" were quite nice and helpful to those in the group who had zero experience. I would definitely visit and ride with them again.

Always fun
We've come here many times. The guides are always nice. The horses are well trained so there's no need to worry about safety. Try to plan ahead as there sometimes is a wait.

Fun hour of riding
We enjoyed a fun hour long ride on the beach. Staff was courteous. The group was a little too big - no real chance to ask questions about the area and visit on the ride. Good value for the inexpensive ride though.
