    What a fantastic experience! First, I love that this organization is a rescue and your money is…read morehelping to rescue, house and rehabilitate horses in need. We arrived and the check-in process was smooth - they went over a few rules and the basics of how to ride and were intentional about what horses they paired us with. The ride itself was fantastic - the first part was slower, walking in the water, and getting used to our horse. Then, we got to take them deeper into the bay and actually experience them swimming. I was paired with one of the largest/tallest horses, so it took a bit more effort to get her to a spot to swim, but once she did, it was absolutely magical. Our guide was great at giving us pointers, telling us our horse's story, and taking photos. (The photo package was only another $25 for two people and it was so so worth it!)

    A safe but thrilling ride with beautiful rescue horses and a knowledgeable, personable and…read moreexperienced guide. We had Holly who obviously loves her job and she was assisted by another guide, Mark, for whom I can say the same. We swam and walked through the waves for over an hour. Horses were well-trained and also seemed to enjoy the experience! Comfortable Western saddles made it an easy ride so you could immerse yourself in the experience. My daughter and I have been riding for years but I was a bit nervous as I'm a senior citizen and used to familiar horses . Several others in our party were pretty new to riding. All was well and we want to go again soon!

Our guides were friendly and lovely people to spend time with. We forgot our own bug spray (BRING BUG SPRAY. BRING IT.) but they had their own and let us use it, which was very kind. We saw deer on the trail and butterflies. Our party had a seven year old and their horse was lovely with her, very gentle and rode nicely. Catastrophe struck during our ride- my phone fell out of my pocket on the trail! Char and Kathy went out and rescued my phone, so now I can write this review. Overall, me and my family are very satisfied with their horses and the service of riding on this trail. Them helping to save my phone on their own time was super nice, they helped us take family photos while we rode. Couldn't recommend them enough! You'll have lots of fun! Bring water, snacks, and long sleeve pants and shirts and you're all set

    Just a fabulous experience whether you're a seasoned rider or have never ridden before. They…read moreensure you are well equipped with helmets if you desire one or not. They make sure you are suited with the best horse that meets your skill level. They care for their animals as they are all healthy and happy. This is not a hack stable outfit..these are people who care about their horses as much as they do the humans who ride them. You won't be disappointed!!

We had an absolutely incredible experience with C Ponies, and I can't recommend them enough--especially if you're looking for something unique, meaningful, and truly unforgettable. What makes this experience so special goes far beyond just "riding horses on the beach." These are rescue horses--many of them coming from difficult or neglectful situations--and C Ponies has created something really beautiful by giving them a second chance at life. You can feel how deeply loved and well cared for these horses are. They are healthy, happy, and genuinely seem to enjoy their work. One of the most fascinating parts was learning that the water is actually healing for them. Being in the ocean supports their joints and overall wellness, so this experience isn't just fun for us--it's beneficial for them, too. That alignment made the entire experience feel even more special and ethical. Our guide, Raina, was fantastic. She had the perfect mix of humor (yes, some delightfully corny jokes), warmth, and knowledge. More importantly, you could tell she truly loves these horses and what she does. She made everyone feel comfortable, safe, and engaged the entire time. Walking the horses into the water--and even getting to experience them swimming--was surreal. Each horse had its own personality, which made it even more fun. You could tell they were relaxed, confident, and happy to be there. It didn't feel forced or transactional--it felt like a partnership between humans and animals. Living in Sarasota, it also meant a lot to support a business that is doing such meaningful work in our own SW Florida community. C Ponies is not only creating unforgettable experiences, but they are actively rescuing, rehabilitating, and giving these horses a life filled with purpose and care. If you're on the fence--book it. It's one of those rare experiences that stays with you long after it's over.

    What a great experience we had, guides were awesome. Fun in the water with the horses-Awesome…read moreexperience. Definitely do it again.
