This isn't just a beach ride--it's a beautiful, ethical experience with rescue horses who truly…read morelove what they do. 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.

An unforgettable first horseback riding experience!…read more As a first-time rider, I could not have asked for a better experience than at In the Breeze Horse Ranch. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel completely comfortable, safe, and genuinely welcomed. They took the time to explain everything clearly, answered all of our questions, and made sure we felt confident before heading out. The horses were absolutely amazing--calm, well-trained, and clearly so loved and well cared for. The ride itself was peaceful, beautiful, and honestly magical. You can tell this ranch truly cares about both their horses and the experience of their guests. If you've never ridden a horse before and feel even a little nervous, this is the place to go. It was such a positive, memorable experience, and I'm already excited to come back. Highly, highly recommend In the Breeze Horse Ranch to anyone--first-timers or experienced riders alike!

Safety for her students and her animals is a priority for her. She knows her ponies/horses and assesses a new student for a good fit for both. My granddaughter trained with Ellian for about 5 years and attended summer camp also before she moved to college. I have attended many training classes over these years and I've enjoyed watching the development of her students during those years. I highly recommend Rosaire's for your rider. Nothing fancy but definitely fun and safe.
