Great experience - Excellent experience. Took a 2 hour ride through the forest and along beach. A good mix of fantastic scenery where we walked the horses as well as a chance to trot and canter in areas. Horses were very well looked after and in good shape. Great support and help from the lads who took us on the trip, and good communication on pick up location and times. Thank you

Amazing experience ♥️ - It was a beautiful experience! The horses are so well taken care of, you can really feel the love and attention they get. I opted for the 2-hour ride, and it was absolutely the best decision I could’ve made! Galloping on the beach was truly incredible 🥰 Thank you so much!

Great experience and lovely horses - Great experience - a friend and I went and we have ridden before. We walked through the countryside and on the beach before ending with a canter and gallop across the beach. The horses were lovely and very well looked after. The tour guides were helpful and accommodating.

They take good care of their horses - It was an amazing experience, you can also tell that they take care and love the horses. The 2 hr trip was a little too long in the heat I feel like an hour would have been much better. The trip was truly amazing and fun, I just wish they gave us a little more of a free hand with the horses, they held on to my partners horse the whole time.. they let me go freely. There were insane views, and empty beaches… I don’t think someone can ask for more

Horseback riding on the beach - Relaxed ride, you ride a bit through jungle and along the beach:) You can choose which level of experience you are at when riding and get help accordingly:) Sun protection is recommended, drinking water is available on site:)

Pay attention to the weather forecast (only do below 30 degrees!) and keep in mind that the journey is only free from Ao Nang. - The experience itself was beautiful. I thought the guide was riding a horse and not just running in front. This would have opened up the opportunity to trot or gallop in the woods on the way. Instead, you can only do it on a beach. However, it was already so hot at 10am that the horses had absolutely no desire. In my case, this went so far that the horse ignored all riding aids and marched stubbornly in one direction. Trying to gallop at it, it tried to grab my leg. I could understand my horse somehow but also... I then "parked" it in the shade until we got into the jungle. Then the horse was again "steerable" in the shade. The horses themselves seemed mMn healthy, well fed and the people were very friendly. The fact that the stable boys smoke all the time doesn't bother me either. For riding itself 4/5, as the stable can't help the heat, but you couldn't ride faster in the shade. But the booking was far from smooth and deserves a decent deduction again. According to the description at the time, "included in the service" was the transfer from Krabi city. Conversely, some places were not included. Further down in the fine print it was stated that the collection costs 200THB p.p. Classic example of hidden costs. Pointed out, but insisted on the costs and pointed out that everything was "clear and concise". I see things differently when it is clearly stated in one place that the transfer has been incubated, and in another place clearly the opposite. Naja... We would have paid for the transfer as well, but since the decision was made for us here, they felt blown away. Then suddenly the transfer was cancelled for us and we wanted to pay these extra costs in advance via a link. We then arrived by grave. For the whole bohei and the relentless tone I would have actually given 1/5 stars. But everything went smoothly except for the approach and we were at least brought back to Ao Nang for free. Therefore, a total of three stars again.

Animal cruelty - Please do not support this. Horseback riding should not be a thing in Thailand if horses aren’t properly taken care of. I’m pretty sure there is animal abuse happening here. My horse kept stopping to eat along the way and there was an incident with the instructor’s horse. He used a string to guide my horse forward because the horse refused to go (most likely tired and probably not even fed properly). That string ended up tying around his horse and the tail. I’m attaching one photo I managed to take of the ordeal where you can see his horse fallen on the ground. His horse ended up pretty much biting the guy. Someone came to cut the string but neither of the horses were very responsive afterwards. It was traumatic. It really spooked my horse and I tried to help but I honestly slid off the back and distanced myself from the situation. I only got 15-20 min of my ride so I’m here to warn you against booking this experience. It’s really not that fun or great nor worth it. Go for a walk instead. Animal cruelty is not okay and these horses should be left alone. I don’t think that there is a good relationship between horse and human here. I’m from Texas, and I have never seen horses being handled like this or acting this way.
