    Amazing 😍
    What an absolutely amazing experience. A bucket list dream for me.. im an experienced rider and my fiancè a beginner. The team at Riambel went out of their way to ensure we both had a memorable, fun and safe experience. Steve is a natural horseman and it is clear he loves all the horses and they are his passion. He spent lots of time chatting to us before the ride gauging our experience levels and what we wanted from the experience as well as what suited the horses which he knows inside out. Do not hesitate and book this place you will not be disappointed. By far exceeded our expectations and the beach is just stunning. They are clearly very happy horses.

    Amazing experience
    We have recently been on holiday to Mauritius. My daughter wanted to do horse riding and we came across Centre Equestre de Riambel. It was such a lovely place, the owner was very helpful and everyone was very nice. Steve was the coach and he took time to speak to my daughter about her ability and he also gave her lots of riding tips. The rescued horses were very well looked after. We would love to go back again next year. My daughter had a lovely ride with one of the riders from the stable. We definitely recommend this place.

    Fun ride, beautiful beach with the horsemen at Riambel
    Great experience. It is obvious that the people who work here truly care for the horses. The horses look healthy and happy. Most of the horses are former race horses, which means they are sensitive and some need an experienced rider. The owner, Steve, therefore takes a lot of time finding out the style and experience of the riders in order to pair them with a suitable horse. My daughter and I are fairly experienced riders and I must say that our horses indeed needed a rider who was able to handle them. My daughter’s pony Étoile was a little spooky, and my friend-for-the-day Gris Cheval was quite enthusiastic and a little naughty. We were in a group with another experienced rider and two beginners. The ride was accompanied by Steve and by a group of grooms, two of which led the horses of the inexperienced riders. At the beach, which is breathtakingly beautiful, the beginners were led to another direction for a stroll on the beach, while we did a strot and a few canters. Steve was very careful and kept giving instructions, as former racehorses tend to get too excited if you lose control. However, although they were a handful, the horses were also very receptive to the rider’s instructions and it was lovely to canter on the beach. The way back was limited to an easy walk trough the sea, as my horse apparently would not be held back if we had tried a canter again. It was fun to hear Steve explain how he trains the horses. Some take years in which no one other than Steve is allowed to ride the horse. Then he lets one of the younger guys ride, and another one, until he thinks it is responsible to let a guest ride the horse. At the end, we took off the saddles and took the horses deeper into the water. As the ground is not very even and the horses climb up and down, it was a challenge to keep your balance. Back on the beach a few horses decided to show that they could be naughty, but Steve managed to keep them under control. The ride back was easy and relaxed again. Communication for the reservation was easy through whatsapp; the company is responsive, flexible and quick (I changed the booking twice in 24 hours..). Note that you need to pay in cash and that you should wear proper clothes (at least long trousers and sturdy shoes) if you wish to make the ride for advanced riders.

    Sunset horse ride
    We were so pleased with our sunset horse ride. What made us really happy were that the horses were all rescued, and were so well looked after. This was not a money making place - their priorties are the welfare of the horses, and the safety and enjoyment of clients. Highly recommend.

    we visited yesterday the ranch of Riambel. It was a wonderful expirience. We made the Sunset Walk on the Beach. Wonderful Tour. The Owner and the Guys who are working there make a very good Job. Very polite and helpful. We had a lot of fun. Also the horses are lovly and are treated well. You can see that the workers love the animals. Whenever we will come back to Mauritius, we will also come back to Riamble horse riding. We Can absolutly recomment it. Thank you guys for this amazing Time in your ranch and which your beautiful horses. Natalie & Lukas

    🏝️ Honeymoon beach ride experience 🐎
    Me and my husband were in Mauritius for our honeymoon and as a keen horse rider myself (having my own horses at home in the UK) I was delighted to find after some research, that there was the opportunity to do a beach ride on our honeymoon. Upon arrival, it is clear that these horses are all well cared for. They have access to basic husbandry as well as fans in each of the stables to keep them cool. It was evident straight away that Steeves and his team have a shared passion and love for their horses. All the horses at the centre are rescued from slaughter, and given a second chance at life. The horses were chosen based on experience (I am an experienced rider, whilst my husband is a beginner), but we were still able to enjoy the experience together with stable staff following on foot to lead my husband’s horse and document our ride with lots of photos. If we ever visit Mauritius again in the future, we will definitely come back! 5 stars ⭐️

    Sunset beach ride, Experience of a lifetime
    We had a wonderful beach ride. The horses who are all ex race horses were in fantastic condition, very well looked after and clearly loved by Steve and his team. Adesh who was our guide was great, he explained clearly what we were doing. My daughter and I had the experience of a life time cantering along the sandy beach and splashing in the sea. Would highly recommend.

    Wonderful experience
    We had a wonderful experience riding and swimming with the horses. They take time to check on your experience and to match the right horse. They really take care on safety, and did everything to make sure my daughter had a pleasant experience. The horses are well looked after and happy. This was an experience we will never forget.

I looked for a place where my teenage daughter could ride on the beach – this is the place! Already from home, I contacted Arunima (the owner of the stable) who answered immediately and was of great help. If needed she can organize a taxi transport to and back from the stables. Once at the stables Steve did a great job – he judged everyone regarding his/ her riding abilities and gave each a corresponding horse. Steve also accompanied the 3 riders to the beach by horse and also three other staff member followed by foot (just in case for any problems). If you (the rider) give them your handy they also make photos/ videos of you riding on the beach. My daughter just loved the ride – for sure we go to this place again once we return to Mauritius.

This was something I've been wanting to do for so many years!

Theres a cute overly friendly white cat that will cuddle up to you when you have a seat during the briefing which is an added plus if youre an animal lover!

Steve was really patient and helpful and explained everything very well (something which most mauritians lack!)

Since I was a novice I had a stable hand accompany me by leading the horse. The horse i had was really calm, the few times he got agitated the stable hand knew how to calm him down and make sure everything was under control.

The actual beach ride was really beautiful and so relaxing, you have to cross the road from the stable to get to the beach which is about 10 minutes. After that its pretty smooth.

Overall it was a lovely experience,
only downside was there could've been a few more arrows pointing you in the right direction when youre looking for the place.

We booked the 1 hour ride, my husband being a beginner and I rode horses many years ago. The horses were retired racehorses, very well looked after and cared for. The staff were excellent, very helpful and made us feel extremely welcome. They took us on the horses down to the beach, we had an amazing time and this will be a lifetime memory for me. We both felt very safe and cannot recommended this highly enough.
Thank you for a great adventure:)

I booked the 2hr ride (beach and lake) and it was amazing! I am experienced so I was able to canter. The horses are in a very good condition, well taken care after. My guide Steve also did an amazing job, he is a real horse-man and knows what he‘s doing. I felt safe at all times.
I really recommend this place if you are looking for a stable with healthy, good horses and people who know what they are doing.

I am so impressed with how helpful Arunima at Riambel was. I had quick responses to all my emails, and help above and beyond what was necessary. The price for the taxi booked for us by Arunima to and from the stables was very good, and the taxi driver Mevin an informative and helpful driver. The drive from Riu Creole to Riambel was part of the pleasure of the experience.

We had a fantastic experience horse riding on the beach and near a lake/forest. We booked a two hour lesson which was split one hour horse riding on an empty beach and the other riding inland near crop fields/a a lake and forest. We were all novices - having been horse riding once before. The attention to health and safety was excellent and reassuring. Each of us was accompanies by fully trained staff for the duration of our experience. The staff were very nice and friendly. Riding on the beach was amazing and so relaxing. Would definitely recommend it - what a treat! Would definitely recommend it.

This was our 2nd visit to the stables. The communication from this company is great, very responsive. Horses are all well cared for. Staff friendly and accompany you and your horse to the beach. Once on the beach we had a little and i cantered. We booked the sunset ride, unfortunatley the weather wasnt on our side and the beautiful Mauritian sunset didnt show.

we paid 12,500mr for and hour for the 5 of us.
