While our ship was docked in St. Croix, we grabbed a taxi (actually you could just walk here in about 20 minutes) and went to Paul and Jill's stables. Jill is so much fun. This is a very laid-back place, and I rode Bucky. Now, you might not be thrilled to be astride a steed called Bucky, but this was... More

This was very disappointing, I called months in Advanced to book this ride for me and my husband to go on. When we got there she would not let me and my husbands horses ride near each other there was three horses between us. she just said that was the order of the horse. She herself was a horrific rider... More

I will start by saying my boyfriend enjoyed this much more than me. He is a very inexperienced rider. I have some experience. I just was bored. We walked on a trail at a slow pace for a while, spent a few minutes on the beach then came back. Jill and Paul were VERY nice I must say. I was... More

Paul and Jill truly are the islands. They are laid back individuals who inspire nothing but enjoyment and fun. Jill is very experienced as a guide and she allows you to explore and enjoy the tour. Paul and Jill understand you as a rider and do a wonderful job of matching you to the correct horse. My wife and I... More

Paul and Jill run a fun, wacky, and darling horse riding businesses. There are lots of horses, lots of dogs...and lots of stuffed monkeys hanging up on the trees on the trail. Paul does a great job fitting you with an appropriate horse, while Jill leads you through the forest trail and beach. You have a pouch for your camera... More

We have gone horseback riding on virtually every vacation we've taken (many Caribbean islands and throughout the US) as our daughter is an avid horse lover. Paul and Jill's was by far superior to anything else in the Caribbean we've seen - the horses had a great set up on their farm with individual feeding troughs in a pretty shaded... More

I had read some of the other reviews the other day before going for our ride today. I'd hate to see how much 'the prefect ride' would cost those people. This was a lot of bang for my buck. Long ride, great photos and great for beginners. My wife had been on a few rides before and this was my... More

Jill took us out during off season so it was just me and my husband, she told us about the areas we were riding in which were rich in history and also where she had grown up and lived all her life. We are experienced riders and had a great time trotting , and running in places. The beach ride... More

I had been to St. Croix back in 1991 and rode with Jill, so I made sure to do it again this past trip. I was amazed and happy to see "Iron Grey", the horse I rode 20 years ago, still alive & looking great! (he's now 33 years old!). Her horses are so well cared for and extremely well-trained,... More

We came with our family, 4 kids under the age of 12. The overall experience was just average. It was raining and the horses didn't seem so stable. During our 1 1/2 hour tour the horses slipped a number of times as we walked around the rain forest. Jill said that one of the horses fell as it walked off... More
