Superb! Highly recommended! - We did the picnic beach ride. My husband is a non rider and we were matched perfectly with suitable horses. I’d definitely recommend Sandy Hooves Stables, it is very clear that the horses come first, they are very well looked after and are in superb condition, something really important to me. The ride was fantastic! Beautiful scenery, lovely beech ride, gorgeous picnic and then we were able to take the horses swimming in the sea 😁
Stefan, was our guide and he was fantastic! He’s very knowledgeable, certainly a horse person, really looked after us and made sure we had the best time! There aren’t enough good things to say about this ride, definitely would highly recommend!

Great vibes on a great beach - Sandy Hoofs provided an awesome horseback riding adventure. The views were awesome and the staff were all very friendly and made sure we had a great time! I would highly recommend adding the snacks and drinks to your ride, it gave a nice break and some time to hang out by the water and sip on some cold ones. All the horses were very friendly and were experts on the trails! Would highly recommend!

Once in a Lifetime Experience! - My husband and I celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary on horseback! We really appreciated Stephan, who guided us on this excursion. We had an amazing authentic picnic lunch and got to ride bareback in the ocean. It's clear they care for these horses and the entire staff is joyful and fun (including the horses)! I can't recommend this enough!

Highlight of our trip! - Likely the highlight of our trip and the perfect build up to our engagement later that evening. The owners Josh and Kelly were lovely and really down to earth and our guide Tevin was super cool and professional (a natural horse whisperer). Thank again!

Great horse riding day trip! - Great day with the team from Sandy Hoofs! The guides (Tevin, Josh, Jaylan and Alpha) were very friendly and attentive. The beach was a beautiful spot for lunch and swimming. The food was locally sourced and delicious. Highly recommend this tour! P.S. Thanks again for the guides teaching me how to open a Piton with a water bottle.

An unforgettable picnic - We went for a morning private ride with picnic, from the moment that we arrived we were greeted with great hospitality and knowledge.
We felt secure and informed at every moment.
We got lucky enough to be able to ride with Atlanta and the company of her 4 month old baby Cinnamon (we did not ride him fyi he is just a baby).
The picnic was tasty and fuelled us to keep going.
Would definitely recommend and 100% come back, just make sure you wear some sunscreen, and be ready for some refreshing water splashes :)

Scenic and great experience - 10/10 experience, very scenic. Our guides were great and we felt comfortable as beginners riding the horses. The picnic is a great addition and my favorite part was going in the water with the horses. Would recommend this place to everyone.

Different than expected - It’s different than I expected. Our guide was great but the ride to the beach and back was very slow, very uneven terrain and hard on the horses. There were so many large rocks and stones the horses had a hard time with their footing and stumbled a few times. There were several very steep hills on rutted and crumbling dirt paths. It was not private, there was another person that sat and ate lunch with us then road back with us. The ocean riding part was bareback, wasn’t expecting that and it was quite difficult to hold on plus the waves crashing I almost fell off several times so I ended early. I enjoyed the scenery though it was so primitive and peaceful. The horses were sweet and well-behaved, and we got to see the guides run them hard on the beach while we ate lunch. With the drive there and drive back it was close to 4 hours so plan for that.
