    Such a memorable experience! Our Friday sunset ride got cancelled due to a storm (totally understandable, safety first for us and the horses), and we were quickly rescheduled for 1pm the next day. I rode Knox with guide Dakota, and my wife rode Wahoo with guide Erica. I had riding experience, my wife was a beginner, and Erica made sure she felt comfortable and confident the whole time. Dakota was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing great insight throughout the ride and clearly experienced with both the horses and the terrain. Both guides made sure we never felt pushed to do anything we weren't comfortable with, though honestly, we felt at ease the entire time and just had a blast. The horses were the best part. Wahoo cuddles and kept resting his head on my wife's shoulder. Knox is a bit of a prankster and loves stealing hats. Riding through the salt water with them was unlike anything we'd done before. Highly recommend! Dakota and Erica took great care of us, you could tell they genuinely cared about both the riders and the horses. We're already looking forward to doing it again!

    We had an amazing experience with Florida Beach Horses for my daughter’s 11th birthday! It was all of her dreams come true. We truly had an amazing day & enjoyed it so much that we plan on booking again very soon! The guides were amazing & made the experience even better. They made sure they got so many pictures of our family which we really appreciated. You can really tell how well cared for & how loved the horses are by all of the guides/caretakers. Highly recommend!

    This was truly one of the most incredible experiences I’ve ever had! Horseback riding on the beach at sunset was actually the #1 thing I wanted to do for my birthday, and I’m so glad they happened to have an opening for me and my partner. We did the Sand & Surf Sunset Ride, and it was such a beautiful and romantic experience. Riding along the beach as the sun was setting was absolutely magical and made for such a special birthday memory. Knowing that all of the horses are rescued made the experience even more meaningful. It was very obvious how much the staff genuinely cared about the horses. Everyone was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and patient, and I learned so much about the horses throughout the experience. The sunset was gorgeous, the experience was unforgettable, and it was absolutely worth every penny. I couldn’t have asked for a better way to celebrate my birthday, and I would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for something unique, romantic, and truly memorable!

    My daughter, granddaughter and I love to have an adventure for Mother's Day and this year we selected Florida Beach Horses to finally enjoy riding horses in the local waters. It was AWESOME! Totally safe and incredibly fun, we rode with our beautiful horses... mine was Naomi which happened to be my Grandma's name... through shallow and deep water with a guide swimming along with us. Loved "surfing" by holding onto Naomi's tail with the guide "racing" her through the water! We 3 thought it was amazing! My granddaughter mastered standing up on her saddle. Highly recommend Florida Beach Horses!!! So safe, and magical. Yes, the owner follows along and picks up every bit of what horses do naturally. 😊

    This was honestly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. From the start, the team made everything feel really personal and fun, and you can tell they genuinely know and care about what they’re doing. The horses were gorgeous and clearly well taken care of. We rode Naomi and Jazmiae, a mother and daughter pair, which made it even cooler. The whole ride felt relaxed and special, and at one point they even blew bubbles in the water. What made it even more unforgettable is that my fiancé actually chose this spot to propose. It couldn’t have been a better setting for such an important moment. We’ll definitely never forget this experience and would recommend it to anyone looking for something really memorable.
