Horseback Riding in Essaouira - Essaouira HorseRiding

I have just returned from a 3 day, 2 night trek with Marta and Ali and I am already looking at dates to return. From the moment I arrived, it was clear that this is not a typical riding holiday. Marta and Ali are true horse people whose lives revolve around the wellbeing of their horses. The horses are not simply part of a business, they are loved members of the family. They ride these horses themselves, know every personality inside out and provide a level of care that is genuinely inspiring to see. The quality of the horses was exceptional. They were fit, responsive, beautifully trained and an absolute joy to ride. For experienced riders, the opportunity to ride such athletic, sensitive horses, including magnificent stallions, is something really special. I learned so much during the trek and came away a better rider than when I arrived. The small group size made the experience feel personal and authentic. Marta and Ali took the time to get to know everyone and ensure both riders and horses were happy throughout the trip. The scenery was simply breathtaking. Endless beaches, beautiful countryside and incredible views made every day unforgettable. The routes were thoughtfully planned and offered the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation. The accommodation was fantastic. After long days in the saddle, returning to a beautiful riad with a swimming pool felt like heaven. The home cooked food was delicious, fresh and plentiful, and every detail made us feel welcome and cared for. One thing that really stood out was how generous Marta and Ali were with their time and energy. They took countless photos and videos throughout the trek and shared everything with us completely free of charge. The quality of the photos was amazing and they captured memories that I will treasure forever. What makes this experience truly special is the love. The love Marta and Ali have for their horses, their guests and what they do. You can feel it in every aspect of the trip. The horses are happy, healthy and adored, and that creates an atmosphere that is very rare to find. This was genuinely a life changing experience for me. I loved every second of it, couldn't fault a single thing and would recommend it without hesitation to anyone looking for an authentic, high quality horse trekking adventure in Morocco. Thank you Marta and Ali for creating such a magical experience. I will be back very soon.

Had a great 3day private track experience. I’m very critical when riding horses abroad. After reading other people’s experience I was motivated to book a tour with Essaouira Horse riding. They are a small stable, taking good care of their horses. All stallions are super gentle and nice to ride. They take into account that the horses have sufficient resting time inbetween rides. They work with great respect to the animal. Amazing was to experience Marocco. Would highly recommend.

My sisters and I had a great time, it was an adventure with a lot of variety in landscapes, beaches, dunes, rivers, and forests. Wonderful. The horses were incredible. Stallions with character but tireless. We ate well.. everything was very nice. Marta and Ali are very nice and took great care of us.

I'm an experienced rider with 6 years of experience and I had FUN. The horses were very used to buggies, cars, everything. So you can just enjoy! We rode with just me, my boyfriend and the guide and my boyfriend is totally new to horses. He had this amazingly calm horse that didn't mind the other horses galloping accross the beach. The horses seemes to be in good condition and well looked after, can highly recommend!

We had a wonderful experience riding the horses with this company. The horses were well cared for, happy and easy to ride. We had helmets for safety and the guides were very professional and receptive to the horses. The walk through the dunes was beautiful and the sunset was too.

I went riding for 2-hours on the beautiful Amyr with Marta in Sidi Kaouki. I wanted to be sure that the horses were well taken care of, so I had a lot of questions. Marta loves her horses and made sure I felt comfortable at all times. Amyr is very lovely to ride and I felt that I was always in control. The tack is also comfortable, clean and well looked after. I was a little nervous at first and wanted to be sure that I felt safe before we cantered. (I hadn't ridden in a while) Marta really listened to me and went at my pace. I was very happy and felt safe.

Went there with my boyfriend. The staff was super friendly and handled everything very professionally. The ride was beautiful and my boyfriend who has very little experience enjoyed the ride a lot and same for me but I would have liked to have a more eager or hotter horse since he did not listen to my ques and wouldn’t go faster then a slow trot. I also expected our guide to ride with us instead of walking along side us. I think I would have gotten more out of the ride if my horse would have had more pull. But nonetheless it was a fun experience!

Beautiful horses, very nice location. The guides were very good with the animals and gave clear tips. There are beautiful images made by the guides!

A very nice experience! My daughter loves horses and this was the perfect gift for her! She went for an hour with her dad and the guide. They both loved the ride and I enjoyed waiting in the horse stables surrounded by the horses, cats and dogs! The guide made beautiful pictures of them in the horses!

An amazing experience, the horses are very well cared for by their two owners who are very friendly people and the photos we took on the beach at sunset are wonderful! It is a 100% recommended experience!!
