Lovely quiet horses, super friendly knowledgeable ladies taking us and amazing views
Their horses are kept very well, beautiful and shiny. The views are fantastic! The ride is half way up and then downhill, it is in a quiet and peaceful area. Unfortunately, I was given broken stirrups, which did not keep my right foot in place and it kept slipping out during the ride. It felt very dangerous and unfair as all other visitors did not have any problems with their equipment. Nobody apologized for that, I was only told that , yes, they are not all new... I believe in this case my safely was compromised and it did not feel very respectful to a customer. I would normally expect the professional behaviour by the personnel to take the broken stirrup as they are trained and skilled in the field... So, everybody else enjoyed the ride much better from a safety perspective....
An enjoyable trek through the fields of the equestrian centre, with amazing views over the island. Disappointing that the horses had clearly done the ride many times before so all you had to do was sit there, perfect for a novice but if you have any riding experience I wouldn’t recommend this trek.
