Had a good time, but different than I expected. If you're expecting a long ride on the Gulf beach where the horses only get their feet wet - this isn't that kind of ride. After a short ride on the bay's beach you are led into the bay. The horses go deep enough so they have to swim, so if... more

My best friend and I just participated in a BeachHorse ride for her birthday. We had such a great time! Our experience with horseback riding is very different (I am somewhat of a novice, while she used to barrel race); however, both of us had a blast. The ride felt like a movie experience. We barebacked our horses while they... more

The term "horse surfing" sounded intriguing, and as my age didn't seem to be a limitation for this adventure, I decided to give it a try. I ride for pleasure back in Massachusetts, and had always wanted to ride a horse along the ocean shore. This equine experience surpassed all my expectations and and provided more excitement than a 65... more

But do not worry it is just fun, not dangerous and you could do it with small children on your lap also. You can operate the horse by yourself or you ask the guide to... more

I took the kids to ride horse on the beach ran by Great World Nature Tours. I expected something like a donkey ride along the beach but it was so much more. After a short ride along the beach you spend most of the time in the water with the horses. The team are great, even getting my scared daughter... more

Went on the trail ride and had a great time. Tim's knowledgeable and fun and the horses were great. Even provided a nice picnic at the end of the ride. Had so much fun that I went to watch the beach ride and surfing the next day. Can't wait to try that!! more
