We rode on Christmas Day and it was unseasonably cold and windy (about 40 degrees) but it was…read morespectacular! The horses were well trained and easy to ride, the guides were knowledgeable and gave us fun facts about Sea Island and the surrounding areas (we had Noel on Christmas Day), and the scenery was beautiful. We rode through the marsh to the beach. It was low tide so the beach was huge and gave us plenty of room to space out. The sand was blowing across and almost looked like snow! Two things I would improve; it would have been nice to be able to trot or Gallup for a minute when we had ample room to play, and having someone to take pictures while on the beach would have been nice as well. The guide said they were not allowed and it was hard to do it while riding. What a wonderful Christmas ride!

I had only been on about 5 trail rides before this one, always feeling a bit nervous because of one bad experience. However, on this ride, with the wonderful instruction beforehand by the guides and the sweet, calm, well-trained and cared-for horses, I felt totally comfortable and truly enjoyed every minute of the ride. The guides were absolutely wonderful. They were professional, did a great job matching us with the right horse, and put safety first. With one guide leading the pack and another bringing up the rear, we had an incredible ride through the marshland and beach. It was such a peaceful and beautiful ride and one that we will never forget. I highly recommend!

I am not a rider so I stayed behind but they said they had fun. My youngest daughter's horse was hungry on the way back and kept stopping to eat (I thought it was funny, she did not) but it was dinner time. From the time I took my first picture of them riding out u til they came back was only about 45mins so if you are being dropped off or have someone waiting be aware it might not be a whole hour. Everyone was super nice and the horses were so gentle, and relaxed. The girls said it was beautiful out on driftwood beach and I'm glad they got to experience that.

I booked this originally for the 4:30 ride on Valentine's weekend but it got rained out so I…read morerescheduled for 3/13/21. We arrived early just to make sure we didn't have to rush and weren't late. The tour was set for sunset but was running late so sunset was basically over by the time we got the the beach and we had to ride back in the dark. We had also signed up for the photo package and when we got back we're told the camera died and no photos were gotten. The ride was beautiful otherwise, but I felt cheated having to ride back in the dark and couldn't see anything. My horse was good too, listened well, kept out of the bushes. Her name was spirit. My husband wrote booker and his horse ran him into every tree and bush it could find. If you do this, book a private ride. It's more expensive, but probably a much better experience. Also, note they don't follow any COVID protocol. No masks, and they cram everyone in the shack to watch the video regardless of how big the group is.

From the moment the reservation was scheduled with Honey Ridge Stables staff has been great. They communicate via text messages regarding running behind due to rain. The location isn't fancy such a beautiful farm. However, it's worth the visit because the riding trails are great, covers different terrains which was a challenge (I was nervous) for me because I have never rode a horse. It was a great experience. The staff of three was friendly, professional and helpful. Only reason I didn't give five stars is because there is no restrooms or place to wash hands after ride.

She got one leg up on the saddle but then couldn't bring herself to get in, after repeated attempts. Initially the staff were very patient but then stated repeating again and again that she either needed to get on now or stay behind because they were running late. With that much pressure I decided to stay back with her as I wasn't going to let a young girl hang out in an unknown place with one unknown male staff in attendance as they were suggesting. When I asked for a refund I was refused as we did not provide 48 hour notice. Reading the cancellation policy "In order to receive a full refund, rides must be cancelled no later than 48 hours prior to your scheduled ride time. We are unable to provide refunds for rides cancelled the day of or to guests who fail to show up for their ride." Just to be clear, we did not cancel. We were told get on the horse or we have to leave without you. That is the staff canceling, not me. At no time during this ordeal were we told that we would not get a refund because the staff thought we were taking too long. When I had called for the booking I had specifically said that I had two first time riders that were very nervous and was told that it wasn't a problem. I just got off the phone with the manager Claire who said that "it looks bad" if they delay the ride. If I was a no show or canceled last minute I would totally understand the no refund. What is completely unfair and unprofessional is being told we have to leave without you but not give your money back.
