A horseback tour around a historic Jamaican plantation. I was in the middle of our group of 8 so I couldn't really hear either guide (one was in back, one was in front). Later the horses were lead to the ocean (with you on back) where we galloped around for a while and then rode along the beach. It was... more

After speaking to the resort about the different available horseback riding options we chose Hooves based on their advice. We were not disappointed! First of all let me say that I was concerned about the treatment of the horses. I know that in many poor countries the animals are not taken care of as I would take care of them.... more

We loved Hooves! After doing the Beach ride, we were so impressed with the personal care given to us by everyone at Hooves that we booked a second tour with them (the Rainforest Ride) later in the week. The horses were well taken care of, and very well trained. The guides could not have been any nicer or more helpful... more

We booked the Hooves excursion as part of our week-long stay in Jamaica in October 2008 as a family with a 7 year old daughter, 2 of our group have never riden before. It wasn't the cheapest trip, but I can honestly say it was money well spent! The bus picked us up at the hotel and drove us to... more

The horseback riding excursion was a bit disappointing. We were picked up at the dock and taken in an air conditioned van to ride the horses. We arrived and were told wearing helmets is required, but no hair protection was provided - you might want to bring a bandana to help prevent lice. There were about 30 people on the... more

We did the beach ride with Hooves on our trip to Jamaica in July 2008. This excursion was truly one of the highlights of our trip and would highly recommend it! We were initially drawn to Hooves because all their horses are rescue horses. The staff was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. You go out in small groups - we had... more

Definitely 5 stars!!! This was the first time we were on horses and it was a BLAST!!!! I've never heard of "Hooves" before our AppleVacations rep recommended it to us.....all the advertisements were about Chukka horseback riding....and that is what I researched prior to our Jamaica trip. I am sooooo glad we took our rep's advice and booked this tour!... more

We booked with Hooves because they used rescued horses and gave longer tours. The horses were well behaved and well cared for. The riding saddles were in good shape and comfortable. They use english saddles. Another reason we selected Hooves is because they allow for a longer ride in the water. Everyone goes in at one time, in a line,... more

Me and my best friend left our boyfriends at the hotel (SJG) for the day and went to hooves for a hack to the beach. You get matched to your horse after the safety chat, etc. The horses are in top condition and well looked after. The ride in the sea was exhilirating and definitely get the photos, they are... more
