Great experience! - Great experience! Nice calm horses and amazing guides! It was easy to get to the meeting place and the parking lot had room for several cars. Good instruction if you haven't ridden before! I felt well received and cared for. During the tour, you could hear about the various areas around and enjoy the beautiful views - and there were a couple stops where you could take pictures. Finished the tour by giving the horses carrots and chewing with them :) All in all a great experience, really recommend this trip!!

Not to be missed if you love horses and even if you don’t. Thoroughly recommended. - A lovely slow ride through the pine trees to some spectacular views and photo opportunities. Our hosts were caring, not just for us but the horses as well, and our hosts clearly love the horses and their work. We had lots of laughs and fun. Thank you ladies for being super lovely and super fun in this memorable experience.

Super nice and highly recommended - Nice simple trip. Good to do without experience. But especially very nice supervisors. And the story behind it made it even more beautiful. Trying to give abused horses a nice new life. That finished it off. Such beautiful people

Lovely horse ride - We enjoyed a ride through a shady park-like trail and out to the coast where we had a beautiful view. Those of us less experienced riders felt very comfortable with the guidance of the trip organizers.

Breathtakingly scenic ride on wonderfully cared for horses. - I had an absolutely wonderful ride with GM Equestrian today! The route was breathtaking riding along the cliffs with stunning ocean views, through peaceful forest trails, and open scenic stretches made it a truly unforgettable experience. The ride felt perfectly suited for all levels: safe and comfortable for beginners, yet still engaging and enjoyable for more experienced riders. What stood out most for me was the genuine care and love Jose and the team show for their horses. Each one is a rescue, beautifully cared for, healthy, and clearly happy in their work, it made the whole experience even more special.
