Great horse riding day trip! - Great day with the team from Sandy Hoofs! The guides (Tevin, Josh, Jaylan and Alpha) were very friendly and attentive. The beach was a beautiful spot for lunch and swimming. The food was locally sourced and delicious. Highly recommend this tour! P.S. Thanks again for the guides teaching me how to open a Piton with a water bottle.

An unforgettable picnic - We went for a morning private ride with picnic, from the moment that we arrived we were greeted with great hospitality and knowledge.
We felt secure and informed at every moment.
We got lucky enough to be able to ride with Atlanta and the company of her 4 month old baby Cinnamon (we did not ride him fyi he is just a baby).
The picnic was tasty and fuelled us to keep going.
Would definitely recommend and 100% come back, just make sure you wear some sunscreen, and be ready for some refreshing water splashes :)

Scenic and great experience - 10/10 experience, very scenic. Our guides were great and we felt comfortable as beginners riding the horses. The picnic is a great addition and my favorite part was going in the water with the horses. Would recommend this place to everyone.

We had a great time at... - We had a great time at Sandy Hoofs. the staff was amazing! The horses looked very well taken care of. We had a wonderful ride out to the ocean where we had a picnic lunch. The food was very good and there was plenty to eat. the guides were very diligent in keeping us happy and safe. We also had the company of their three dogs who were an added treat to the ride.
I would very much recommend doing your horseback riding experience with this company!

A fantastic excursion - A fantastic experience full of great views and good times! Our guide was fantastic, and even though my wife and I were completely new to horseback riding, he made sure we were comfortable the whole time. The food at the picnic was great, and we even got to ride our horses in the ocean!

Fabulous experience! - Absolutely fabulous ride with a lovely picnic on the beach. Our morning started with a concise safety briefing including how experienced we were so they could match horse to rider. I had ridden a lot in my youth (now 64) but had not been on a horse for 40 years. My husband had never ridden and was slightly anxious. However, he was soon reassured as our guide (Jordan) was going to walk with us, alongside John to give him support if he needed it.
It was a lovely experience to ride a horse through the waves along a beautiful beach. Jordan soon hung back as John became more confident. We stopped for our picnic, tying the horses up by a shack on the beach and enjoyed an excellent packed lunch washed down with a cold bottle of Prosecco! Jordan asked if we wanted to take the horses into the water (bare back) but we were quite happy just riding together with Jordan taking photos of us with our phones. We would both do it again in a heartbeat!

Amazing trip - What an amazing experience we had riding in St Lucia, we were made to feel very welcome and after a short induction we were shown our horses and was on our way. The horses are so well behaved. Jordon was our guide and was very professional and you could feel the passion he had for his job. The trail was amazing and after an hour or so riding we arrived at the beach. Jordan and some other guides that were with another group collected fresh coconuts for us to sample, lovely added touch! And they tasted amazing!
We then rode the horses into the sea. We felt completely safe and had complete trust in the horses and Jordan.
Also, what made it even more special for us was the two lovely dogs that belong to the owner, they followed us all the way and enjoyed the coconuts as much as we did.
Would highly recommend and should we return to St Lucia, will definitely book again!

Beautiful views & friendly personnel. - The guide was friendly and when we got to the coast, it was beautiful. The drive to the stables was difficult because it was steep & wet. We did not have 4 wheel drive so had to park the car & walk the last part. The ocean views were beautiful. We got in the water with one horse to take photos but it was guided. We selected the picnic ride. The food was bought from a grocery store and put in a cardboard box which was OK but nothing special. The shelter where we had the picnic had beautiful views but was trashy & needs to be cleaned up.
