The horses were fine. (Other reviewers either had an off day or probably can't ride.) The trail itself was not fun. You either are on the side of the road or going up and down (the same) very steep hill. Maybe 30 feet on the beach. The view at the top was lovely though. The owner, Dana, was very nice,... More

We are avid horse riders, so riding on St John seemed like a necessity for our trip. It was, overall, a good experience and we're happy we did it. We rode nice horses and saw a couple of truly exceptional views of the virgin islands. The "trail" however was either along a paved road or up/down a very steep, rocky... More

We visited Carolina Corral in October 2011, we were early, Dana, our guide was already there getting the horses ready. Did it smell? Absolutely! Like goats, sheep, chickens and horses like you would expect any farm to smell like. We had time to meet some of Danas rescues, some goats and sheep she had helped out along the way. The... More

Yes, the first impression of The Carolina Corral is that it could use a face lift. The buildings are a bit rough, and the aroma is that of live animals, living. There is a loo for humans, a shady place to sit down, and most importantly - healthy animals who would otherwise have met their end very badly. I was... More

That is to say- these are not well trained horses. The owner and guide, Dana, described the horse I was riding as having "an attitude problem" before asking who would like to ride her. I reluctantly agreed to ride "Princess" because no one else volunteered and I have some riding experience. Princess repayed me at the end of the ride... More

The only good part of the trip was at the top of the hill, very nice view. More

We were greeted by Dana when we arrived. It did take some time until we were off to get all the horses situated, but not a big deal- I'm on vacation. I hadn't riden a horse in years and that's the only thing I HAD to do in St. John. The conditions at the farm weren't ideal- but it's a... More

I agree with the other poster. When we arrived, my husband and I we waited about 30 minutes to get on our horses. Everything went according to plan with my husband and the other two (father and daughter). With my horse, "Princess" gave me a fuss about riding and began to act up. The owner procedes to punch and kick... More

We were there yesterday, 7/15/2010, and couldn't have been more disappointed. We were dropped off by taxi to find nobody there, only some poor abused horses in disgusting conditions and a smell to knock you out. We have much riding experience and we know that these stalls had not been cleaned in months. The horses were standing ankle deep in... More
