5.00This was such a fun experience - the owner is so incredibly kind and knows where to stop the horses right on the beach for great photos (bring your phone so he can take your photo). It took us a minute to find the entrance but we made it with no problems and we ended up with a private ride because no one else had booked that time slot. The view of the sea and the rock walls are so pretty. Don't forget your knees and backside are going to be sore! But it was so fun to get back on the horse after so many years. I can tell they are really taken care of well here.

Avoid if you're a novice - a bit "do this do that"

4.00Lovely views and the horses were lovely. I am a horse owner, I wouldn't count myself as an experienced rider, this is not for first timers. The horses know their way home so be prepared for jigging about! Owner was very purposeful which made it feel a bit regimented, not overly chatty so most of the ride was spent in silence. If you're not confident on a horse, I would avoid this and instead use the time and money on a ship or walking ☺️ Positives: horses were lovely, the view and wine were amazing. Day was saved by an incredible bar down the road - Drunkfish, amazing food and underrated on trip advisor! Opportunity for photos throughout which was lovely. Negatives: a lot of plastic litter (not the owners fault), not the romantic feel you get from the listing, horses are horses - if you can't ride it's not for you I'm afraid. The owner is quite "hard" and the setting is rustic, don't expect pristine loo/facilities and horses that are gloriously clean. If you're a horse lover, fancy a scenic ride and can overlook the rustic "get on with it" nature of things go for it!
Crazy horseback ride

1.00While I understand animals can be unpredictable, this ride was not what we expected. They were well kept but 3 out of the 4 horses we rode freaked out and took off! Thankfully, everyone managed to stay on their horse and there were no serious injuries. One of the horses ran up a hill towards a branch and the rider put her arm up to shield her face, she had never ridden before and received no instruction on how to control the horse (she was tethered to one of the hosts for most of the ride but no instruction once released). The hosts barely spoke English and were not very friendly although they did provide band-aids and bad homemade wine at the end. We were very disappointed as this was the excursion we were most excited about but at the end we were just glad it was over!

1.00The horses had sores on their heads and on their hips. They were skinny. They weren’t well taken care of. I was under the impression that we were going to go along the black sanded beach and then said we went through a sandpit with trash everywhere. We did go on the side of beach to get to the sand pits. But it was not as it was described. I wasn’t impressed and I felt bad for the horses The older gentleman was very nice and sweet.
