We had an amesome time on our beach horseback riding adventure. The guides were amazing and fun! They were very informative about the area and culture, as well as wonderful horsemen. We have rode horses on lots of different types of vacations, and this trip was one of our favorites. I would highly recommend this trip!

The beach horseback riding was a great experience! The staff / our guide was great at picking the right horses for us( we are inexperienced riders) and the horses were really gentle. I would highly recommend this experience and the company.

We had a great time riding horses in Placencia. Jimmy and Alessandro were great guides and took the 6 of us out for a 2 hour excursion. My daughters, 9yo & 10yo, had only ridden horses once before but the team at Sand & Saddle were great. This kids loved the ride up the beach and at the halfway point we stopped at a nice resort and were able to get a drink at the bar and swim in their pool to cool down. Riding in the sand and water was a fun excursion for the entire family.
