This was a wonderful experience! Jawad, my guide, was very patient with me as an inexperienced rider. REALLY PATIENT! I appreciated that. He also took amazing photos and videos of my trip so I can remember the beautiful beaches of Essaouira. Highly recommend this experience.

This was a wonderful experience. Ismail and his family are passionate about their horses who are treated very well. The horses are beautiful . The beach is lovely. Sunset was the icing on the cake but it would have been good anytime. Highly recommended for any level of ability.

One of the best experiences we had in Mogador. Experience, location, sunset and all the attention of the treader who guided us through this wonderful experience. We recommend everyone who passes by to try it.

It was my second time to do horse riding with him in Essaouira. Very patient and supportive whenever help is needed. Ismail made me feel very safe and calm. Also he is very passionate about horse riding and taking very good care of them. I really loved the soft saddle. Ismail have always been professional, flexible with timing and very easy to communicate. He was happy to answer to all of my questions. Good English, great energy and very funny! I would highly recommend Ismail and his horses! I would love to go back as soon as possible! Thank you for beautiful pictures, your time and advice! It was so easy to forget about everything and to be in the moment. Truly had the best time ever!

Just the best! Ismail and Jadi (I hope I have the name right;-) ) took so good care of us. We were family of three. Experience level from very little to good and they were able to give us a ride that all of us were happy with. It is clear that they take very good care of horses, they arebclean and safe.

My parents and I loved the sunset ride! The three of us have very different experiences with horse riding, ranging from a little bit of riding to most of childhood spent with horses, but everyone always felt very comfortable and safe despite this gap. The views were of course stunning and our guides Ismail and Jaw Ad were very attentive and made everyone feel secure, and Ismail has been very helpful and easy to be in contact with leading up to the ride if I ever had any questions. Ismail's horses are absolutely gorgeous and obviously very well taken care of (as well as responsive which was a little bit of a learning curve for us who are used to stubborn Icelandics), and the caring nature definitely shows not only in the horses but also in how well we were cared for! 10/10, will for sure be back whenever I make it back to Essaouira!
