I arranged this for me and my wife, I was excited although both of us have little to no experience on riding horses. My wife rode Casino who initially whilst waiting for us seemed out of sorts and a bit bored. In the arena we were told to go to a horseshoe on the wall and wait with our horse, Casino didn’t fancy facing the wall (probably cause that’s what he had been doing for the past 20mins). On the trail itself he was well behaved, if not a bit stubborn in that he didn’t want to move off a few times. I was riding Jara, as I said I was so excited and I walked her down to the arena, faced the wall without issue. Whilst on the trail that’s when my ordeal happened, Jara felt wobbly, I didn’t know of this was due to the terrain, normal or there was something not right with her. As we continued on Jara started to buck and I lost control of her. I wasn’t instructed on what to do if this was to happen so naturally I gripped the reigns for fear of being thrown off and that’s exactly what happened. I was thrown off the back of Jara , I have landed on rocky ground but managed to get myself to safety and away from the out of control horse. I got back on Jara as I didn’t want to blame her for this, something obviously hadn’t been right but the instructors gave the impression she would be fine to get on again. As we moved off, one of the instructors told me to loosen the reigns if it was to happen again (I was already fearful and didn’t want there to be a second time). But sure as fate there was a second time, this time I managed to stay on Jara but I was quite scared the rest of the trek back. I was asked if I was ok but felt it wasn’t that sincere as they said it with nervous giggles. I have been very lucky not to have any major injuries. A few scrapes and bruising to my hips and glutes. In all honesty I didn’t want to be completely truthful regarding this experience. I felt bad for Jara the horse as I don’t feel it was her fault. I felt that she was bored, hungry and unsteady on her feet.

Nice ride in the mountains. Very relaxing. Like to visit again🐴😊.The groupleader (Finnish Mirka) was taking care of us.

Ok I’m not quite sure where to start here, as a professional qualified British Horse Society coach/rider and represented Great Britain on 2 separate occasions I can hardly put in to words how little care was taken over this horses and how disgraced I was, as an advanced professional rider they gave me a horse that they referred to as lazy…… as an amateur wouldn’t be able to make it go, the poor animals had ill fitting saddle that pressing on its spine causing it pain to move, and stumbled the whole way around, and nearly fell over on two occasions, this could have caused a serious accident to a less balanced rider.! then on returning back to the stables i informed the staff who do not hold any for of qualifications in care of horses, so as I try to advise them the horse was uncomfortable I was met with a huge amount of hostility. Then also formed the horse I was on had on go issues with both front legs which they couldn’t identify correctly, even though they said it was under vet supervision but received no forms of Medication. so the poor horse was being made to work in pain, I can’t tell you how deeply upset and angry it was, it was be given NO medical treatment,to top it it off, very little attention was give to the horses feet which should be trimmed every 5/6weeks, I’m guessing they haven’t seen the farrier for at least 8/9 weeks this then has the affect of over stretching and stressing tendons, ligaments and joints I ended up speaking to the manager who claims the be BHS qualified, yet I can’t find home On the register, he obviously knew he was in The wrong and dealing with the wrong predom and just hung up the phone on me…….. if you have any love animals please do not go here. It was absolutely heartbreaking, see under malnourished horses having to carry over weight riders

Pick up was on time and quick from Maspalomas. Horses were in good condition and safe to ride. On the route there was rocks, but horses were well adapted to rock ground. 1 hour route was walking, no faster speed. On the rocky route I wonder how on earth could we even at some point trott or gallop without breaking horses. View over the mountains was great and experience overall. I would take this tour again anytime. Superbonus nice cats at the stables..:)

Super nice expérience...thé staff was fantastic and the horses well treated... everybody was happy to spend such a good Time!bravo a todos...i recommend this activity

We have been today and thoroughly enjoyed every minute being as I've not ridden in along time, even my children enjoyed it too, to my suprise as they've never got on a horse before!! The girls were very friendly and extremely good at giving advice to the novice's, the horses are well kept, the views are spectacular and I would highly recommend this trip to anyone, thanks so much for making me realise..I do need to get back in the saddle!! Many thanks Sarah Armitage 😘

Went on a 1 hour ride at 1pm, including transfers. 2 adults (me and my daughter, who both have horses at home) took a friend's 7 year old daughter for her first riding experience. Transfer was punctual, staff were friendly, and the horses were clearly very well looked after - deep shavings beds with dinner and lovely green hay after the ride. The stables were really tidy and cool for the horses, despite the heat. We got the chance to buy treats for the horses after, and a shoe with the horses name on for our little girl. She had an absolutely amazing time, and is coming to our horses when we get home! Really good value for money. Just to comment on some negatives from other reviews - yes the path is rocky and sometimes the horses stumble, but you are on a volcanic island so it is to be expected. The horses are used to it and it doesn't hurt them. Finally, yes some are a little lean, but I imagine it is very difficult to keep weight on horses that are getting older in this climate. They all had lots of good quality food, and I noticed the horse in front of mine had corrective shoes (which are quite expensive) showing that they receive good vet and farrier care. Very much recommended.

I like Divano. It was a really sweet horse. we drove through the mountains and it was very beautiful. The people took it easy for the people who had never been on a horse before. the horses looked well cared for, the people handled the horses correctly. the horses were very well behaved.

Horse Riding May 2024 The horse was old had hardly any teeth and was tired they did not look in best condition (skinny) this was in hot gran canaria island. I feel they are not the best but not the worst it could of been so much worse. At the beginning of the ride before we mounted we got a pep talk 👄 they explained how to use the REINS very simply and how to kick them on, they explained nothing else did not even welcome us or seem happy to see us. They asked if we ridden before which I had in the past and this was my first riding experience in several years it was disappointing though the scenery was lovely very desert like adventure. My husband was was told to whip his horse because it would not go, hungry I would guess, even though he was a complete beginner that was his first taste of the sport. Fortunately he was not put off. He felt sorry for these horses too 😢 over worked and under fed shame really as it could be a special place with happy healthy horses. Over all my score is 2 out of 5 poor rating they could improve by treating their horses better and giving you a bottle of water it's not much to ask on a hot day.

We just thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We had not ridden horses before so we needed good instructions which we got. The guides were very good, nothing was rushed and it all just ‘worked’

I booked this as a surprise for my wife. She used to ride horses all the time but then life got in the way. As such, this was a lovely gift for her whilst we were on holiday (her words, not mine). Collection to and from our hotel in San Agustin was on time and simple. The transfer was nice, with some lovely views of local towns on the way to the stables. At the stables, everyone was introduced to their horses and, where necessary, given a few tips on horse-riding. The group consisted of highly experienced, current riders to absolute beginners and right across the age spectrum. The group went out for just under an hour and had a wonderful, calm walk in the sunshine. My wife’s horse was called Jara and she was a sweety. My wife loved her time with Jara and there was only one disappointment. When they returned to the stables the horses were immediately taken away (probably due to another group arriving shortly) and so she didn’t get a chance to buy/feed Jara some of the horse snacks that are on offer. That was the only even vaguely negatively negative aspect though as she had a lovely time and recommends this trip to others.

Excellent experience with lovely staff. Pickup and drop off was superb and on time. Horses were friendly and didn't bite me! 🤣

Me and my mother booked this while on holiday. Being my first time on a horse and mum not being on since an accident years ago this was a beautiful experience. The staff were patient and helpful matching everyone up with the right horse and led us on a beautiful hours walk. Also pick up and drop off from accommodation

Very nice experience. Well organized and the horses were lovely. The ride lasted for a whole hour. Totally recommended ...

I had an amazing experience @El Salobre Horse Riding! The horses were not only healthy and well-cared for, but it warmed my heart to learn that some of them were rescues. The staff is exceptional – incredibly nice and attentive. Their genuine care for both the riders and the horses added an extra layer of warmth to the experience. It's clear that they love what they do, creating a friendly and welcoming atmosphere that made the ride even more enjoyable. Kudos to the fantastic team! I highly recommend this company to anyone seeking a positive and ethical horse riding experience.
