Horses On The Beach

My valentine and I just finished our Valentine's Day Sunset ride at Horses on the Beach and it was awesome!The staff was friendly and the horses were so sweet! We rode nice and easy for 1.5 hours. We were first time riders, so we'd say it was worth every penny, and we got the souvenir photos. We definitely left wanting more -- in a good way. The only disappointments were that we could not trot with our horses once we got comfortable, we were in such a large group of novice riders that most couples' horses had trouble staying next to each other, and the weather was less than ideal. It was cold and cloudy, so no beautiful sunset was seen. We'll have to try again soon!Tips: 1. Check the weather before you book, and if it isn't looking like it'll be to your liking, change your reservation in advance. 2. Dress comfortably and cutely for photo ops.3. Do NOT drink/eat much before you go. (They only have porta potties.)4. Bring toilet paper and hand sanitizer... for the porta potty.

We had the best time on this ride. The ride was largely uneventful and it was a group of just 5 of us, all beginners. It was a lovely stroll on a gorgeous beach on a beautiful day. Doesn't get better than that. I didn't read the other reviews until after our ride and I'd offer these tips to potential riders:- if you are inexperienced do not go during peak season where they have large groups and probably have to assign horses that are not the best temperament. - we had one guide for our group of 5. Noted other reviewers had one guide for much larger groups. That really is not acceptable since one guide cannot control such a large group.- make sure you are seated comfortably before departing. My friend's saddle was not centered so she was uncomfortable the whole way to the midpoint. At that point the guide helped her adjust the saddle. - I recommend wearing your helmet. Horses are unpredictable and with so many variables of riders and horses, better to be safe than sorry.- the picture they take for you on the beach is gorgeous. You will want to buy it. Again, small group of 5 so we had no issue waiting a bit as each rider had their picture taken, but it would be annoying to wait so long for a large group. The key to a good ride is a small group. They should not book large groups and they should add a second guide for larger groups.Also appreciate that many of the horses are rescues, and the horses seem really well cared for.

My Daughter and I wanted to do something other than the beach one day so I looked for activities and came across Horses on the Beach. We had such an amazing time. The horses were in great condition and they had so many which eased my mind! This means they swap them out and don't tire them. The ride was beautiful and they even take pictures , which you can purchase for a small fee. The staff was super friendly and safety was first. We did the morning ride and will be coming back for the sunset!!!! Big shout out to the staff and my horse Cisco!! We made great memories before sending my Daughter off to college in a month!

We drove from San Antonio TX to attend a 10am ride. It was overall a great experience! Great staff, very friendly too. My friend rode the horse Cheyenne, and I had Valentine. They were the best and so sweet. Thanks again for everything!

What a great little operation. The horses are great and you can tell most importantly they are well taken care of. The ride was nice and so great being by the beach.The guides were super courteous, helpful and patient with beginners. No matter your skill level, I think this is something all can enjoy.Tip: we were told that GPS would not get us there correctly and tried by going by their instructions which fit us lost. Use WAZE, it got us correctly to the location after the mishap.

I had a very nice time. I did the Sunset ride on the beach. The beach and the waves and the sunset combine to make this a magical experience. The horse was gentle and easy to ride, even for a greenhorn like me.

The horseback ride was beautiful and worth it. Our guide was an easygoing, friendly young man. Hope to do it again someday!

10/10!! i would highly recommend if you are wanting to try something new or if you love riding horses. i got blue duck and i was told he is the easiest one out of all of the horses. blue duck was really nice, he was listening, and whatnot. i highly recommend blue duck if you're terrified about being/getting on the horse. all of the instructors was really nice, funny, and helpful for tips and tricks. they knew how to calm my nerves. i also highly recommend wearing clothes and shoes that you do not care about getting dirty and/or getting poop or pee on. some of the horses will kick wherever they just pooped or peed and it can be kicked up at you(which happened to me lol) and you also go through a small little pond where there is poop in, so be careful of that lol. the ride was very enjoyable. on the beach (don't know if it's public or private) but there was a lady on the beach with family or friends topless the whole time we were on the beach.... and she showed us everything as well. so just be careful to possibly see that on the beach lol. they don't have any food for the horses or the animals in the petting zoo which i think they should because they'll definitely make more profit off of it. they had a deal for one picture and one shirt for $25 but most of the shirts were XL+ and i'm a small and my boyfriend is a medium/large... but other than that would definitely do this again!!

Very nice staff and beautiful view! Actually a dream! Loved my sweet horse! Very glad we booked this ride

I have experienced Horses On The Beach multiple times over the last several years or more with friends and family. We always have a great time. The horses are all usually very well behaved and easy to ride, even for beginners. Staff are always very courteous and friendly. The ride is like very few others that I have experienced as it's not very often you can have this type of experience with horses, being able to ride on the beach and even a little into thesurf. It's great fun! I definitely recommend and will likely keep returning in the future.
