The best experience! Maestro was the absolute best! Even seen a troup of howler monkeys!! 💜 Full of incredible information about cultural and local info!!! Would give 10 stars if I could!
Thank you so much for this wonderful review and for choosing St Leonard’s for your adventure. We’re thrilled to hear that Maestro made your experience so special and that you even got to see a troop of howler monkeys — moments like that make the jungle unforgettable. His passion for sharing cultural and local knowledge is something we’re incredibly proud of. It means a lot to know the experience left such a strong impression on you. We truly appreciate your support and hope to welcome you back to St Leonard’s for another adventure soon.
Wonderful trip. Riding through the farm and along the river was great. Carla was incredible. She was very knowledgeable, pointing out plants and animals, while sharing stories. We even got to see a family of Howler monkeys, which was fun. It was beautiful and peaceful, but the best part was Carla. It was my daughter’s first time riding. Carla was very patient and careful to make sure my daughter was ok. She coached her through the whole ride and assured her she would dismount her own horse and walk along side my daughter’s horse if she felt uncomfortable. My daughter, however, quickly felt comfortable and wanted the ride to last even longer. She absolutely loved it! It is definitely a memory she will not soon forget, thank you Carla!
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful experience with us at St. Leonard’s! We're so happy to hear how much you and your daughter enjoyed riding through the farm and along the river—it truly is one of the most peaceful ways to connect with nature here in Belize. Carla, one of our most loved guides, always brings warmth, patience, and a deep knowledge of the land, plants, and wildlife to every ride. We’re so glad she helped make your daughter’s first horseback adventure such a joyful and confidence-building experience. Seeing the Howler monkeys is always a treat, and we’re happy you got to witness that special moment together. At St. Leonard’s, our goal is to create safe, meaningful, and unforgettable memories for families just like yours. For those considering a horseback ride in Belize, this is a perfect example of the care, beauty, and connection you can expect with us.

Thank you for taking time to write a review. We really appreciate it and we are so glad you had an amazing experience with us. We look forward to having you join us again some day.
Horseback riding with Miguel was so much fun! He took us all around the jungle and was an excellent tour guide! The horses we big, beautiful, and well trained. Clara, the owner, was very responsive and flexible with our booking time
Thank you for wonderful 5 STAR review. Miguel is an amazing guide and we are so happy you had an amazing experience. Carla is our fearless leader and part of what makes St Leonard's tick. Thank you for taking time to share your experience. We look forward to having you join us again some day.

My husband and I had an unforgettable day. We loved the horseback ride through beautiful farmland. Carla is a wonderful guide and we highly recommend her tour company!
Thank you for taking time to write a review. We are so grateful you chose St Leonard's. Carla is a great guide and we are so glad you has a wonderful day. We are so happy you braved the wet and damp conditions with us. Thank you once again and we hope to see you again some day.
Memorable trip! We had a mixed group - kid, youth, adults, mostly beginners and a seasoned rider. Carla, Rudy and Mary took good care of us and really made sure we’d be safe and comfortable, and they are wonderful conversationalists. Love how they paired us with the horses and loved the trail+views. Will be back and plan to do other tours with them when family/friends from abroad visit.
Thanks for taking time to write a review. We really appreciate the effort you put into this and sharing with others about your experience. Carla is an exceptional guide who strives to keep everyone safe and happy. We are so happy to have taken your beautiful family and we look forward to meeting you again some day.
Second time taking my kids on this horse farm ride (ages 13 and 4). It was a beautiful trip. We took a ride by the river and through a field of cows. A few howler monkeys were in the trees as we were riding by. Great experience both times. It is a slow paced ride and the tour guide Mrs. Carla is the sweetest most pleasant person to have. She is very knowledgeable about the area and surroundings. She knows her horses well. I would definitely go again when my youngest is a little older to be able to ride his own horse.
Thank you for your kind words. We are so happy you had a wonderful day with your children and even managed to see the howler monkeys. Carla is indeed a real gem who loves sharing with everyone her passion for horses and the outdoors. We look forward to having you join us again some day with your youngest riding on their own.
The entire experience was absolutely beautiful! We had a wonderful tour guide who was knowledgeable and kind. Definitely worth everyminute! GO ahead and BOOK NOW!
Thank you for making us part of your belizean experience. We are very happy you had a wonderful time on our farm ride with our guide. All the best and keep riding life away, making every minute a special and unforgettable one.
