Very accommodating; instead of us joining a large group, Christina gave my husband and I a private ride which was very nice; we rode horses to the ocean, my husband got to ride his horse in the ocean bareback and his horse swam in the ocean. We had a great time and Christina was fantastic.

I own my own horses and ride competitively in dressage and jumping, but my husband rides very little and we like to go on relaxed trail rides to see new places when we travel. We were well-matched with our horses, who seemed happy and content with their jobs. The owners and guides were safety-minded (but very laid back) and cared for the horses and the land they used. Scenery and the beach were fantastic. I was able to go on an exhilarating gallop along the beach while the rest of the group stayed back so I wasn't bored. I have worked as a professional trail guide and can say that any trail riding establishment that allows you to wear a backpack does not care for your safety, so plan on bringing sunscreen, wearing comfortable and protective clothing, and bring along some bug spray to stay comfortable, then leave it at the ranch while you ride. If we're lucky, we'll be back again!

Sherman and his crew will set you and your group up on some excellent horses. They'll give you as much assistance and training as you need. Most in our group had little or no riding experience. I hadn't ridden much, and the last time was long ago, so a little refresher was given to me. Like most stables of this kind, the horses are use to traveling in a line. (Mine enjoyed being in the lead.) we rode through the plantation and our guides pointed out various kinds of coconut trees, mangos, cocoa, and pineapple plants. They'll give you an opportunity to taste a cocoa bean. (The goo on it is surprisingly sour and tasty. Nothing like chocolate.) The crew also cracks open a coconut for a taste. But the big draw is riding your horse on their beautiful beach. (The horses love to walk in the water, but we had to keep them out the day we rode. . . rough seas.) This was a lot of fun, and the crew are very friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this experience.

Coming by Cruise Yacht, our on board services tried for 3 days by phone & email to get contact with the ranch. After reading all the positive reviews I only wanted to ride with them! No luck though, very sad !

My family visited the ranch as an excursion from the cruise ship. The host guide (Leah from Cox tours) was very friendly and informative. We had 13 people in our group and upon arriving were fitted with the appropriate gears and horses by Winston Trim. Winston seems to own the ranch and was quite stern and at times rude and sarcastic in showing how to hold the reins and be in control of the horses. There were a lot of first time riders and most of us found him to be intimidating as he seemed to be irritated by the time he had to spend with each of us going through the fitting process - on the other hand the horses were quite calm and seem to be well trained for this ride. We were led to the beach through a banana plantation by Alex and I give him a lot of kudos as he is very experienced and was quite courteous with the horses and riders. At the beach we dismounted our horses and mounted one horse for a swim in the ocean - we were then treated to coconut juice and papayas from one of the guides. On our return to the ranch, we were provided water bottles and guavas from the trees nearby. One of the drivers was so sweet that he climbed up a tree to pick ripened guavas for us. We also tipped everyone on the ranch for the service provided. The most memorable part of the trip was the ride on the horses and the service from Alex and Leah and thank them both from the bottom of our hearts!

i was so annoyed with my horse riding excursion, that i had to bite my tongue to stop from complaining, 1st, the horses looked like they needed a good feed, 2nd, we were not allowed to take any back packs on the horse with us, which meant we all had to leave our water and sun tan lotion at the ranch, we were also told that when we got to the beach we could unsaddle our horses and ride them in the sea, what they meant was,,,,,,, we will ride a horse to the beach without a saddle, and you can ride that one in the sea while we hold it for you, we were there for 2 hours in total, no water, no suntan lotion and it was about 95 degrees in the shade, we were all very badly sun burned, which totally spoiled the rest of our cruise, would i recommend this horse riding excursion, what do you think?

We had a very nice ride in a scenic area. The guide was very informative while traveling to the ranch. The tide was up and the waves a little high to enter the water. I'm not a real experienced rider, but have ridden some. I think the horses are used to being able to do what they want.

Great experience and good service! The waves were too high to swim with the horse, but I got to canter back and forth on the perfect beach which was what I really wanted to do. The beach was much nicer than the other riding treck I did in the Northern part of the island.

Highly recommendable activity! just wear long pants if you want to canter as the stirrup straps were nylon and rather uncomfortable.

My husband and I had a horse ride down through the banana plantation to the beach, where we had a lovely swim and then I cantered along the beach. The guide Alex was very friendly and informative on the area, and took lots of photos for us. We were picked up and dropped off at our cruise line, and thoroughly enjoyed the company of both Winston and Alex. A fun and memorable day out added to by the flexibility of Winston to take us to the local rum factory for a sampling of the rums, before returning back to the ship. We will definitely be in touch next time we are back in St Lucia!

This was an excellent excursion. The guides that we had were fantastic. We were all fitted with a horse that fitted our needs (experienced, not so experienced & never rode a horse before). It was really cool riding the horse in the ocean. I would very much recommend this to anyone.
