2 weeks agoI very much enjoyed our little ride on the Algarve beach today! My horse (Pizarro) was very responsive and easy to steer & gallop. Our guide Jesus was very friendly, fun & easy going. I enjoyed the safe environment (sandy beach, no cars or stones) and freedom to move as our group was small (3 including the guide + 1 dog). The only down side is that I would have loved this ride to be a bit longer…but due to restrictions the beach trail only allows for a 60min ride! I’ll definitely sign up for another one soon✨🙏🏻✨🐎✨

5 months agoAfter watching Yellowstone my wife and I whilst on holiday decided to go horse riding. We found Jesus through google and he arrived with 3 gorgeous horses that were so laid back. We walked through the Avocado and citrus trees. Had photo with the sea on our backs. Jesus was a great tour guide and ensured our safety throughout. Would highly recommend even if youve never been on a horse he makes it so simple. We loved it and we willbe doing it again in April

6 months agoMy friend and I had the best ride with Jesus and his horses. I’m a complete beginner and a little scared of them, however, Jesus told me to ride Pizarro and he was a complete saint with me, really gentle and calm. Jesus was always making sure we were okay and guided us through the most beautiful avocado farm.
