Animal abuse

We are really outraged about the condition of the horses. Malnutrition, extremely tight plucking, extremely sensitive. The bones are salient it is shameful. The guide does not even try to communicate with you, puts pressure on the horses not letting them urinate or slow down. Returning from the ride 1h30 instead of 2h30 indicated the horses not even to water in this heat, nor to rest. It’s money for money...

Peaceful ride on the beach!

Beautiful ride along a long quiet beach. Horses were gentle and easy to control. We were delivered to the start of the ride and back to our hotel by motorcycle safely and carefully
