Nature & Historical Horseback Riding Tours St. Lucia

The overall experience was great. The lead (older) man was a pleasant, kind, helpful and informative man. The young kid assisting the older man was rude to the horses, poking at them from time to time, and had a flippant attitude. When you get on/off a horse, you normally mount from the left side of the horse. Once for me and once for my husband, they had us dismount, and I'm pretty sure once, even mount, on the right side of the horse. This is very awkward. I managed to do OK. We had on HOKA shoes and they are large at the front of the shoe, so they were difficult to get in and out of the stirrup. NOTE TO SELF: Never wear HOKAs to horseback ride. Because of this, my husband's foot got stuck in the stirrup, plus, the kid had him on the wrong side of the horse, even though my husband told him "this is the wrong side" he didn't do anything about it. My husband ended up falling because he couldn't get his foot out of the stirrup and additionally was on the wrong side of the horse, and ended up falling onto his back. Praise God, there was no injury or even no pain the next morning, but it could have been disastrous. SO, if someone wants you to get on or off on the wrong side of the horse, be sure to speak up! And don't wear HOKAs. The older man was very helpful to get my foot out of the stirrup, but the kid was clueless. Now, the older man gave us a great tour of the ex-sugar mill and he was informative and gave a great experience. I was tempted to give this a 4 star rating, but wanted to make sure they knew they need to improve in these area. I would do this ride again, the horses were great, just don't get on or off the horse on a side you are not comfortable with. And don't wear wide shoes that won't easily come out of the stirrups when needed.

Very serene experience, the guides were so patient and allowed us to enjoy ourselves. Soaked in some history knowledge along the way, fresh coconut water, and saw very interesting little forest crawlers. I felt very calm and assure of myself during our time- and that was from the help of the guides 10/10

A great trip. Picked up and dropped off as arranged. Well looked after by East Coast Riding Stables. A ride through the old sugar plantation, jungle and the beach. A refreshing drink of coconut milk for both of us on the beach.

Tour guides did a nice job with the history and with the horses since we are not avid riders. The stables are about an hour from Rodney Bay.

Enjoyed the sites including the beach and farms.

Not your usually ride. Varied terrains. We went across creeks, up and down hills. Still easy for inexperienced riders. The history information and sites was informative and fascinating. We saw iguana, sampled spices, fresh coconut harvested by our guide. The horses were healthy and full of character. Our guide Judaism was delightful and attentive. I'm an active 70 yrs young and It was perfect for my abilities.

I had never been on a horse before but the horse I was given was trained very well. Very informative trip.

This was a great ride down to the beach and back, very relaxing and informative. My kids loved it, especially feeding the horses banana peels at the end. I was a bit nervous at first, but Spirit is a good horse, and riding him down the beach was definitely a bucket list experience. Many thanks to Paul and his team, who went out of their way to make sure everyone was comfortable on horseback.

Very nice experience. My first time riding a horse. The tour guide was patient with me. I felt comfortable during the ride.

Beautiful staff, very attentive and informative! I loved Paul and Rheem! Ride on the beach was epic and made my entire trip worh every penny. A must do!
