Nice experience - It was a beautiful experience. It's okay for beginners. The Guide doesn't speak good English but it was okay.
You should plan more time .

Not suitable for beginners - It was my first time ever on a horse, and we went through the forest where the horses were slipping and I was convinced I was going to fall off. My helmet didn’t buckle which made me even more anxious. Otherwise the views were very nice and the horses were cute but I was honestly terrified for 90% of it, it was just too slippy and we were going very close to ledges and I just didn’t feel too secure at all 😅

Wouldn't recommend - Can only give 3stars. Incorrect pick up location so late for pickup time, guides didn't speak English as provided and alot less time than advertised. It was a shame as looking forward to a Christmas day ride

Beautiful ride but not suitable for complete beginners! - This activity is not suitable for complete beginners! My partner has only ever sat on a horse once but we booked this activity as the description states it is suitable for beginners. Once we arrived we were both given a horse to ride with no questions about our experience levels. Our ‘guide’ was a 12 year old boy also on horseback who refused to lead the horse my partner was riding despite him clearly being anxious about riding unattended. Our guide proceeded to trot and canter up steep hills which meant my partners horse did the same. if I hadn’t been there to tell my partner to hold onto the mane and lean forward I’m pretty sure he would have fallen off. However, the ride was beautiful and I’m sure anyone who is capable of riding all paces off the lead rein would enjoy the experience.

Nothing like pictures or reviews. - My girlfriend and I went on this experience, I have previous riding experience and she does not. We were brought to the ranch and were given helmets. My girlfriends didn’t buckle up. We were given our horses and led for a while on the horse. The guy who took us let me and my horse off the lead but my girlfriend was kept on. The guy spoke no English and didn’t attempt to have conversations with us. We were brought around a forest and the horses were slipping all over the place, he didn’t ask if we had any previous experience and there was no riding in a closed space for my girlfriend who is a beginner as stated on the description for the ranch. We were mounted on and basically went from there. There was not anything like the pictures or reviews at all, it would be better if instructor spoke English and attempted to speak or reassure us. I myself am experienced with horses but even I thought it was a bit dodgy honestly, wouldn’t go back or recommend. Horses hooves were also in bad condition, needs farrier asap.

Nothing like the description ... - I booked this after the description seemed good and was what i was looking for. My mum and i are both experienced riders however we were kept on lead rein the whole time, it was just a walk in some woods and fields, the 2 guys who took us spoke no english and so we could not ask them any questions. The helmet selection was poor and most of them were broken too. The horses did also not seem in the best condition. Very disappointed and would not reccomend.

Worst experience, do NOT recommend it! - This was the worst horse riding experience I have ever had. I do not recommend it or supporting this company.
Firstly it was two small boys leading the experience, they spoke no English and was smoking during the experience.
The horses are treated so poorly, during the ride the boys were pulling the tails of the horses! Especially when they wanted the horses to stop, utterly unnecessary!!!
It’s a slow walk through barren bush, I couldn’t wait for it to be over and felt so sad for those poor horses, I left in tears.
