- Sandy Hoofs St. Lucia - Experience St. Lucia’s North Eastern coastline on a private, eco-friendly horseback tour. Explore two undeveloped beaches along forested and open trails, immersing yourself in the island’s unspoiled nature. This tour is suitable for all skill levels, whether you’re a beginner or an experienced rider. For the well-being of the horses, a weight limit of 220lbs per rider is enforced. Your personal guide will lead you through natural landscapes, ensuring your comfort and sharing insights about the area. For those interested, there’s an optional opportunity to ride your horse into the ocean, provided sea conditions are calm. However, this may be affected by Sargassum seaweed, a natural occurrence in the Caribbean since 2011, which varies with the tide. As an outdoor activity, be prepared for possible rain during the tour. If dangerous weather is forecasted, we will contact you to reschedule. Your guide will provide water and take as many photos as you’d like. St. Lucia’s climate includes a rainy season (June to December) with wet conditions, and a dry season (January to May) with drier trails but less greenery.

Unforgettable - Let me tell you...Sandy Hoofs is the only choice for your horse adventure in St. Lucia. I began looking for the right stable to provide beautiful beach riding weeks before our trip. Keri (owner) responded to my questions immediately and when I had to change my booking, she handled it and refunded me the difference in minutes. When we arrived at the stable, I felt like I had always known her. Everything about our experience was personal, professional and outstanding. I encourage you to read the "Our Story" page on their website to learn about this husband and wife - lifelong horse people - who have persevered through many obstacles to fulfill their dream of providing top notch riding experiences for both visitors and locals. They take their business seriously and it shows. They were great, the horses were great, our guide Alpha was a blast. Thank you Keri and Josh for what you do, and giving my husband and I a once in a lifetime experience. I can't wait to come back, and wish I could come work for you! So very grateful and impressed.

Fantastic bucket list experience - horseback riding on the beach! - A beach canter and getting into the sea bareback on horses has always been on my (and one of my daughters') bucket list. Sandy Hoofs delivered beautifully, with a lovely canter along the beach, a refreshing swim/ride with the horses, and some fresh coconuts to drink from for good measure. It was an absolutely perfect outing, and our guides clearly loved the horses and made sure they got a good roll in the sand and cooling off (with us!) in the water.
The horses were obviously well-cared for, and the owners take pride in this - our mounts were energetic yet well-behaved, and we felt they enjoyed the trip as much as we did. With resort pick-up and the horses ready and tacked up for us as soon as we arrived, we got a lot of beach time.
Thanks for the lovely memories (and great photos taken by our guides!) - it was the ultimate gift for my eldest daughter's birthday!

Incredible experience! - We had an amazing experience. Josh, Tevin and the team - thank you!
Can't recommend Sandy Hoofs Stables enough. The beautiful horses are clearly loved and looked after well, and the ride we had was incredible.
Stunning coastal scenery, and of course riding on the beach and having a swim with the horses was a memory of a lifetime.

Fantastic experience-horseback riding on the beach - Fantastic riding experience! As first time riders, we were delighted to ride on the trails and sandy beaches of St Lucia.
Our experienced guide, Jordan, took us on two horses, Patches and Teflon, from the stables to two scenic beaches on the east coast of St Lucia. He kindly offered to take pictures and videos of us riding with picturesque views of the beaches in the background.
Then the rains came! We sheltered on the beach until it was safe for us to return to the stables. Our horses knew the trails well, so it was easy for us to guide them.
We thanked Keri de Freitas for arranging the riding experience through her aptly named "Sandy Hoofs" tour. We even had a good "Guyanese Gaff" on our return to the stables as Keri visited my country of Guyana.
Recommend this tour even if you do not know how to ride. It was a wonderful holiday experience.

Not worth the hassle. - I booked my ride days in advance of my trip. I had every expectation of enjoying a wonderful horseback ride with my wife on a private beach on a beautiful tropical island! Fantastic, right? I get a call 90 min before my scheduled ride in the day of, and am told that I (at 240lbs) exceed the weight! When I entered my weight online there was no validation, no red flags. I am told that the weight restriction exists in the additional info section of the online form. I did not see this. If it’s there, great! Where is the validation when the weight is entered? You validate my credit card, my zip code, even validate the dates and times I chose, but you don’t validate the weight? Lastly, 90 min before the ride you cancel on me? How about when I booked the ride or at least the next day!?!!! Customer service at this place leaves a lot to be desired.
My recommendation: Skip these online booking services, book with the locals or your resort/hotel for the better experience.
