Krabi cabalgatas en la playa

Also suitable for beginners. As 2 beginners, we were accompanied throughout the ride. The part was very pleasant, the other one inland was interesting because we went through fields and near houses. The 2 guides, 1 each, were very friendly and approachable. However, for a beginner level, 2 hours is a bit long, but we didn't think to ask to take a break!

They cater for all levels of rider Great experience Galloping along the beach The guide was always making sure I was ok and the horses appear to be well looked after

It was a very nice ride. Beautiful landscape and super sweet horses. I saw many animals on the ride, even a monkey. However, I would recommend long pants; I thought I could manage with shorts, and I scraped my calves a bit due to the friction from the stirrup strap. It is definitely worth it.

You may see the great reviews however the horses are not trained. They are herd animals and will follow the herd. Hence why in smaller groups/single riders they act up and become dangerous and the guides WON’T help you in those dangerous situations. Also the state of the yard/stables is appalling. Just because this is Thailand and not Europe does not mean you can treat horses and animals poorly. I played down my ability just because I wanted a peaceful ride with a horse with more woah then go. However was given 2 unsafe horses. I get to the yard and im asked to fill out a form about my ability and the standard age name and sign. However they did not check my ability before picking a horse, horse was already picked. I told them I am intermediate which was the ability listed after beginner (I luckily am an experienced rider with my own horse back home) I told them I hadn’t ridden for years and want a peaceful ride. I get on the horse from the ground, had to ask them to at least hold the stirrup the other side (getting on from the ground will cause damage to the horses back over time). I began to notice the horses tack was not well maintained and the bit was very rusty which will cause a lot of damage to a horses mouth. The napping began in the first minuet, not wanting to walk, The guide gave me a stick to use (I did not use it as I don’t agree with that) i get the horse to walk on and it seemed like this horse was more woah then go. Until we tried to go for a trot, the horse starts bucking and pacing to the side. Horse drops a shoulder multiple times when asking to move out of the way of low branches/trees. The guide on the horse in-front was NOT helping and just watching from a far. Which I think is very irresponsible if I wasn’t an experienced rider. After I managed to stop the horse, I jump off and have the horse in hand. The horse instantly changed from a scared/in pain behaviour to a kind well mannered horse. That’s when I realised there is something very wrong. I began walking with the horse in hand back to the stable where the guide finally comes over and says “get on and just walk” my response was obviously “no this horse is in pain and hasn’t got the right tack” the guide tells me to get onto his horse and we swap. I said “no I’ve had enough, this horse can’t be ridden like this” another guide makes his way to us on a dirt bike. They made it seem to me like they was going to walk this horse back however they jumped on him and told me “we got him 3 days ago and this was his 2nd ride with us he just likes to go fast” my reaction was obviously confused and concerned with the fact they are willing to put a paying customer on a horse that’s been ridden once since getting him only 3 days ago. And a horse that likes to go fast will not buck and buck trying to dismount his rider when asked for trot, maybe a little bunny hop but that was no bunny hop. I then tell them I will only get on this other horse if they take the rope attaching its head to it’s stomach away, like a martingale but much tighter to his chest(I soon found out why this rope was there and what they intended for it to do). The horse stood still for about 1 minute while I adjusted my stirrups and then blind bolted all the way back to her stable. This was a full blown gallop and the guide on the other horse or the guide on the bike did not follow (again a horse that wants to go fast will follow the galloping horse) It took minutes for them to come to me. Again, very lucky that I am experienced and can sit a bolt like that however there was no slowing down as when I did try to slow down, it became dangerous Hense why it was better to just sit it. I get off the horse in the stable and the man laughed at me. The men there are now laughing saying “your a good rider you can ride this horse instead” they are trying to bargain with me to get on this “slow” horse. I asked to be taken to the owner, they refused to let me speak to the owner. I immediately say “no, no more horses I want a refund and to be taken back to hotel” they was very hesitant to give a refund however one person gave me it after being advised by other guides against it. I was there for a total of 25 minuets. Overall, do not support this.

Such a great time! We had an awesome guide who was super fun. The horses were well looked after with their safety as a top priority. The horse I had was perfect for my experience level and it was absolutely beautiful. Highly recommend!

I am a beginner rider. I was well looked after and the horse behaved beautifully. Gorgeous sunset and scenery. Well worth doing.

Very enjoyable ride around the forest and village and lastly along the beach, hotel pickup was on time and staff are happy to take pictures for you

Staff were amazing! picked us up and dropped us back of to hotel, helped us take lots of videos and pictures, I am an experienced rider however my boyfriend is not and he felt very safe, lovely well looked after horses

The whole experience was amazing. From the pick-up from our hotel to the horse-riding session itself and was sent back to hotel after the whole session was over. The horses were well taken care of and was fun and wonderful. We rode on the horses along the beach and into a small village. The guide helped to take quite a bit of photos for us as well.

Picked up from our hotel, assigned horses before riding. Quick tip for beginners in horse riding. Rode the horses along the beach and thru the village. And once done was sent back to hotel.
