At the end of July, we joined an amazing trekking adventure with an overnight stay and a picnic, making the whole experience even more special. The horses are beautiful, incredibly well cared for, and perfect for exploring breathtaking landscapes. Every ride was well organized, and the food was always delicious. A special thank you to Mohammed and his amazing team for making us feel so welcome throughout our stay. And a special mention to Oues, Sultan, and Balios—the incredible horses who made every ride even more memorable! If you're looking for an authentic horseback adventure with wonderful people, amazing horses, and unforgettable experiences, this is the perfect place. We can't wait to come back. Thank you for everything!

We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed every part of your trekking adventure, from the overnight camp and picnic to the beautiful landscapes. Knowing that you felt welcomed by Mohammed and the whole team is the greatest reward we could ask for. Oues, Sultan, and Balios will certainly appreciate their special mention—they are very lucky to have had such kind riders! Thank you for choosing to share this experience with us. We hope the memories of Morocco stay with you for a long time, and we can't wait to welcome you back for another adventure in the future. Take care and see you again soon!
I participated in the “4 hours on horseback + picnic” tour in Essaouira. I also participated in the 3-day, two-night experience. The organization was punctual, but throughout the entire excursion, I was very disturbed by the conditions in which I saw some horses. I observed visibly exhausted animals, with signs that made me think of inadequate management of their well-being. This experience completely compromised the tour and prevented me from enjoying the day. For this reason, I do not feel like recommending it to those who, like me, care about the respect of animals.
Unfortunately, we have recently been the target of a coordinated campaign of false and malicious reviews intended to damage our reputation. The welfare of our horses has always been, and will always remain, our absolute priority. They receive daily care, regular veterinary attention, appropriate nutrition, and sufficient rest. Anyone visiting our stables can see firsthand the respect, care, and dedication they receive every single day. We encourage future guests to form their own opinion by reading the hundreds of genuine reviews from our riders and, above all, by visiting us and seeing our horses with their own eyes.
We had really an amazing time with Amine, he was super kind, and patient as I am a beginner. Recommended me the right horse and put me in confidence after a bad experience the day before. Truly recommend this activity and with Amine ! A lot of fun, amazing pictures and good company :) thank you ! Merci !
Voici une réponse chaleureuse que vous pouvez publier : Thank you so much for your kind words! We are delighted to hear that you had such an amazing experience with Amine. He truly has a special talent for matching each rider with the right horse and helping beginners feel safe and confident. We’re especially happy that he was able to restore your confidence after your previous experience. It means a lot to us that you enjoyed the ride, the photos, and the company. We will be sure to pass your lovely comments on to Amine — he will be thrilled to read them! Thank you again for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back for another ride soon. Merci beaucoup! 😊🐎
Great guide Amin took us on a 5h ride with picknick. I’m pro level but my friend was a bit scared at first. He guided her and supported her during the trip in a great way! Really nice guy!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you both enjoyed the 5-hour ride and picnic. Amin will be very happy to know that his guidance and support helped your friend feel comfortable and confident throughout the experience. Making every rider feel safe while having fun is very important to us. We hope to welcome you both back for another ride on the beach soon! Best regards, The Ranch Team
I would like to thank Muhammed warmly for the quality of his instructions. His calm and kindness allowed me to gain confidence quickly and enjoy the experience to the fullest. The walk was simply incredible: between the beach, the forest and the dunes, the landscapes are beautiful and offer a real sense of freedom. Being able to steer your horse at your own pace makes the experience even more unique and galloping provides unforgettable sensations. The group I was in had an advanced level. Being intermediate myself, I was able to follow, but I recommend that less experienced people choose a shorter duration, as the ride can be demanding. An experience I highly recommend!
Je tiens à remercier chaleureusement Muhammed pour la qualité de ses instructions. Son calme et sa gentillesse m’ont permis de prendre confiance rapidement et de profiter pleinement de l’expérience. La balade était tout simplement incroyable : entre la plage, la forêt et les dunes, les paysages sont magnifiques et offrent un véritable sentiment de liberté. Le fait de pouvoir diriger son cheval à son rythme rend l’expérience encore plus unique et galoper procure des sensations inoubliables. Le groupe dans lequel j’étais avait un niveau avancé. Étant moi-même intermédiaire, j’ai pu suivre, mais je recommande aux personnes moins expérimentées de choisir une durée plus courte, car la balade peut être exigeante. Une expérience que je recommande vivement !
Wonderful experience! It has been a dream of mine for a long time to go horseriding on the beach. This trip surpassed my expectations - even though I didn‘t expect my legs to be this sore after it! Amine was a great guide, has an incredible knowledge about his job and really loves what he does. It was lovely to ride with him. He also doesn‘t hestitate to give you some riding advice - I‘m not the best rider, but could manage it all quite well thanks to his explanations. I will definitely come back!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 😊 We’re truly happy to hear that this experience fulfilled your dream of riding on the beach — and even surpassed your expectations! (And yes… a little soreness is part of the adventure 😄🐎) Amine will be delighted to read your kind words. He’s indeed very passionate about what he does, and it means a lot to us that you felt supported and confident thanks to his guidance. We would love to welcome you back anytime for another ride! ✨
The best trip we made with amine❤️
Thank you so much
Thank you for a very wonderful day spent with beautiful Berber horses. Special thanks go to our great guide Abdul, who took care of us perfectly the whole time. And thank you Abdul for meaningful conversations about horses.
Many thanks for your kindness 🙏🏻
I celebrated my birthday on horseback, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. Our guide, Abdu, was attentive, kind, and had a great attitude throughout the entire ride. I don’t have much horseback riding experience, and he helped me with everything, making sure I felt safe and comfortable at all times. Whenever I felt nervous, he stayed close, reassured me, and kept the atmosphere relaxed with jokes and calm guidance. I couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Highly recommended.
Thank you so much for your lovely review 😊 We’re thrilled you chose to celebrate your birthday on horseback with us, and we’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to Abdu. He’ll be so happy to read this! 🐎🎉
