    Everyone should try this amazing beach ride with the horses. My husband and I brought our seven-year-old daughter. This experience was exceptional from start to finish. We went on a two-week vacation in three states and this was by far our favorite event from the trip. First - We are horse people and support rescue. We would not do this if it wasn't clear the horses were treated well. The horses were well-groomed, treated kindly and the handlers had extraordinary communication skills with both the horses and riders. They staff was enthusiastic and friendly before, during and after the ride. And the horses were happy doing this - They loved the water and it genuinely was a fun experience for everyone. Second - We are very mindful of safety with horses. If you're afraid of horses (or falling), this is the perfect place to take a stress-free ride. We actually drove out to watch a ride and ask about safety before booking for the next day. I would not have put my seven-year-old daughter on the back of a horse if I wasn't fully confident that she would be safe. Each rider has a guide and a lead rope to hold the horse to maintain control. The children wear helmets and they offer life jackets for all ages. If my daughter had fallen (which she didn't), she would have just landed safely in the water with a life vest and the handler would have been in control of the situation immediately. The guide doesn't leave you alone with the horse and they maintain control the whole time so you can enjoy without fear. Finally, we had an experience like nothing else. I've ridden horses for years at a relatively novice level. I'm not going to wow anyone with my horse skills, but I've taken Western and English riding classes. This was so different. You weren't worried about the next step to keep yourself safe or learn something new. You were just enjoying the horse and being in the water with them. The staff took tons of photos and we also were able to bring waterproof iPhone cases to take photos throughout the ride. I wish I could give more stars. This is an experience for all levels of skill and all riders. It was so special and we are so grateful to the staff and horses for making this happen. Thank you, Beach Horses! :)

    I had an amazing ride. My horse was Jemabelle- she was a hoot! She'd put her nose under the water and blow bubbles. The hour ride was perfect. A great mix of walking on the sandbars and swimming through the water. I highly recommend!

    It was a wonderful experience!!! The horses were beautiful! I do think for the price I would have had a little more independence and the guide not have ahold of the lead rope the ENTIRE time. I didn't have any time to just relax and enjoy some alone time bc she was always right there., only moving for photos. It was comparable to a pony ride. I am not a beginner so I excepted to be able to ride by myself. I had an amazing time regardless! The guides were otherwise awesome, knowledgeable, helpful, and fun. They allow you to take all the pictures you want. This would be great for kids and beginners, or people who have no experience with horses! A great time!

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.

    Absolutely exceeded our expectations! Raina was an amazing guide, full of tons of information…read moreabout the bay, history of the ponies and nuances of each pony to better assist each rider.

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!

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!!
