What the day feels like
What the hour feels like
After arrival and a short lesson and safety briefing, riders mount for the advertised one-hour in-saddle experience. The guide paces the group to suit each rider—walking, trotting or cantering where appropriate—so the hour is spent entirely on the beach. Allow extra time before and after the ride for paperwork, helmet and boot fitting, and a photo swap at the finish.
