We were picked up by Fidel at Rodney Bay and road with Kennedy down to the beach. They're both very genuine and personable. The horses are among the healthier looking ones on the island and extremely docile. My 13 and 15 year old daughters were perfectly comfortable cantering on the beach and riding bareback in the water, even though we've... More

Fidel was great. Took the ride up the hill to see the atlantic side with wife and 3 daughters. We were blown away. We did alot of amazing things as we like adventure on the island but everyone agreed this was the highlight. Teechaa (Fidel) was great with my 13,15,17 y/o daughters who have only riden a horse about 3... More

Andrea at the Cas en Bas beach (near Cotton Bay Village) had called them to arrange the horses. She is very nice and helped us negotiate a good price, $25 US each for a short ride along the beach and then into the water (I had expected about twenty minutes or so). Fidel brought three horses from the stables (about... More

We had 3 riders and two that wanted to take pictures at the beach. Fidel and Douglas picked us up at the resort and we watched the riders get ready. Some of the equipment was a little tired but newer looking helmets were a must... Douglas wanted to provide a safe and fun experience! Once they rode off, with Douglas... More

This horseback riding trip was ok. We thought we would be riding on the beach and in the water. When we were dropped off at the stables, the person assigning horses barked orders at everyone. When we went for our ride, it was down a mountainous dirt road with a lot of ruts and gravel. This would have been ok,... More

We were picked up by the owner Fidell from our hotel and driven to the stables. My daughter is an experienced rider and I had never been on a horse! Our guide was Douglas who held my horse on a lead rope. We went to a beautiful, deserted Atlantic beach where my daughter was able to canter on the beach... More

We were met at the port on time without an issue and transported to the stables, where within about 10 minutes, we were saddled up and ready to go. We went though a trail that led out to the beach and then led to an area where we were able to "shop" local crafts and get a drink while they... More

WE went horseback riding on a trail which led to a beach where we went bareback in the water! Wow-was a little weird-then trotting along the beach back to the trail-muddy, slipper, a little scarey, but fun!

My wife and I did some horeseback riding along the beach (Atlantic side) in St. Lucia as organized through our resort. The guides were very knowledgable, willing to take as many photos as you wanted, and always concerned with your safety. The "excursion" called for horseback riding along the beach, but to our surprise, we got to ride the horses... More

Nice visit to the Atlantic side of island for the ride. Going in the ocean with the horses was brilliant. Lovely ride through the country side to the beach.
