To ride with Lindy Hill and her good friend Sue on a weekly basis was THE NUMBER ONE experience during my half year abroad in Mauritius. I started as I total beginner, never been on a horse and I left as a passionate greenhorn that continues to ride whenever time allows. If you’re a amateur, Lindy teaches you everything you... More

We miss you Joel! Your special treats were something we really looked forwards to every week, and the delicious shrimp club sandwiches that you lovingly created for our "after-the-full-moon-ride" were simply mouth watering! Our horses miss you too - you were always such great company to have around, always kind and caring to our special horses. It was a real... More

If you are thinking of going riding in Mauritius look no further. These are ex-racehorses reschooled for trail riding. They are so responsive and still have a turn of speed if that's what you want. All the various different trails sound stunning but the one we went on was through the sugar cane fields to the cliff tops overlooking the... More

We visited Mauritius Horse Trails on 09/10/2011 during our ten day stay in Mauritius. We opted for the two hour Senneville Bridge Trail as Lindy had advised this would be the most suitable ride for both of us to do together. I had riding experience from when I was in my teens, however Alec had never rode a horse before.... More

I was so disappointed at not being able to ride with you, but knew that leaving you in the capable hands of Sue and Nitish would be as good as riding with me, if not even better! I was very happy to hear that Alec managed so well by himself, especially after such a short time. That was thanks to... More

Riding with Lindy was the highlight of my trip to Mauritius. Charming company, wonderful scenery and the best kept, best schooled horses I have ridden on holiday for a long time. Whilst Lindy caters for beginners, as an experienced rider I was not disappointed by the quality and challenge of the riding. It really is the best riding in the... More

Wow! What a brilliant statement! The best in the Southern Hemisphere?!?!? Now THAT really makes me proud of our amazing team of staff and our beautiful, responsive horses. Thank you SO much for your review - my staff are going to be glowing with pride! Just as well the horses don't understand - none of them would get their heads... More

After many emails to Lindy explaining about my ankle. I had a brilliant ride on one of the beautiful horses. Lindy could not have been more helpfull taking time and care to make sure that my ankle was ok before and during the trail. It's such a pity due to family commitments that Lindy is leaving the Island. If you... More

It ws such a pleasure to finally meet you after all our emailing back wards and forwards while we prepared for your ride. I must admit that I was always a bit concerned when people like yourself with small health problems requested a ride, but knowing my horses are as trust worthy as they are, I knew you would manage...

My husband and I were in Mauritius in September and after comparing a few different riding possibilities we spoke with Lindy on the phone and I was immediately convinced that this would be the right place for us. My husband had never rode before and was very apprehensive but Lindy was a great teacher and he felt at ease very... More

Both my wife and myself never touch a real horse before we had this fantastic experience. And my wife is actually afraid of animals very much. So when I planned our Mauritius trip and suggested we try horse riding she strongly objected that. But I'm quite interested as I never ride a horse before and always wanted to give a... More

Let's start by saying what a fabulous outride we had with Lindy. Her horses are brilliant, beautifully re-trained ex-racehorses that are obviously very calm, happy and enjoy what they do. We are both experienced riders, and are very much into natural horsemanship, so it was great to chat with Lindy about how she retrained the horses in what was clearly... More

I booked to ride with Lindy whilst on holiday last week and the experience was wonderful. The scenery is spectacular and the horses are all well cared for as though each one is a part of the family which is sadly not the case in many stables. I am a semi-confident rider and the horse I had was chosen for... More
