Carl2021-07-08Excellent ride Fidel is excellent. Takes care of horses and his visitor! He allows you to enjoy the experience based on your comfort level925chelsiee2020-02-12PEACEFUL!!. SERENE. LOVE. PERFECT VIBEZ. Fidel is the most passionate and loving tour guide one could ask for. He made our large group of 6 feel safe and knowledge about the type and style of horses we were engaging with! His son, 5 year old Prince, has cool tricks and horse moves of his own. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! LOVED EVERY MINUTE! You should have booked this excursions like YESTERDAY! Thanks FIDEL, PRINCE, AND ENGLISH!!Lyn N2020-01-24Riding Horseback to and in the ocean was an amazing experience If you can only pick a couple things to do while in St Lucia this is one worth the time. How often can you bare back in the ocean!!! Met Fidel in the morning and took off on horseback through parts of town, through the country side to the beach, and in the water (bareback once you arrive) Bright sunlight the entire time. Lovely. Fidel was fabulous. Kind, caring and considerate that both of us had not ridden in a few years and a little rusty until we got going. Horses were pretty easy going, but would get going when we wanted to. Was about 2 hours in length. I would suggest a few things. Wear bathing suits under you clothes, change of under garments after swimming, a towel to dry off. Pack in a back pack for ease during the ride and to keep it all together. Flip flops for after ride as it is not good for walking around barefoot. CAMERA, Water (drinks of some sort) sunscreen, sun glasses, hat, gloves are a great idea for ride but not essential. At the stop to swim in the ocean there are vendors trying to sell you everything under the sun for insane prices. So cash if you want to buy the typical, sold every where kind of souvenirs. There is a little bar there for drinks too if that is of interest. As expected expensive as they have you in the middle of now where. Ohhhh and one more thing if you have a water proof phone/camera or GoPro this is the place to bring it. We captured some amazing pictures with the GoPro This is NOT an excursion if there are accessibility issues OR very small childrenMark O2020-01-18Time of my life I contacted Holiday Stables throug its owner, Fidel, several weeks before my cruise. As a solo traveler I have to be very particular about details.Fidel was so very accomodating to arrange a special pick up for me in St Lucia.My horse Ginger was wonderful and a good fit to my ridding style. We had a sigificant ride before we ever got to the beach. We stopped, rested, and prepared the horese for the water. What a rush! Don't miss this chance. And don't worry II'm 74 and I did it. Fidel I hope you see this. Hello, my frienddob19852020-01-12Fun Ride Fidel, the owner guided my daughter and I. He was awesome!! Beautiful beach and she loved being able to take the horse in the ocean.Jim F2019-10-19A friendly place to go. We went here with a group of 7. The stables were clean and the horses were well fed, healthy and well mannered. Fidel, the owner was our guide. He was very good and polite. He took us through the streets by some amazing homes on the way to the beach. Once there, we walked to a small bar we had a beverage while he took off the saddles in preparation to swim. The view of our private cove was amazing. We one small problem. When we arrived, Fidel did not have our reservation. His receptionist had lost it. No problem, he said. It was a very short wait while they got the horses ready. We would use them again.Roxanne R2019-09-14My Niece and I took this Excursion during Southern Caribbean cruise...was wonderful Fidel provided an excellent adventure for my niece and I as we chose this excursion during our day visit to port of St Lucia. We were the only 2 people on this particular ride but he treated us extremely well. Would definitely recommend it to anyone going to St Lucia and looking for horseback riding adventure. Fidel had Dennis pick us up at the cruise port which was very convenient although it took us a few mins to get on same page as where we were to meet up. Horses were wonderful. If memory serves me correctly, I rode Morgan. She was very well mannered and had no issues. I requested we trot some on the way back which was a lot of fun. Even got up to a run going up big hill. Be sure to wear long pants (jeans or leggings) This was my first time riding bareback (little uncomfortable but manageable) and going into water on horseback. Can now mark it off my bucket list! Was quite the experience. Horses really enjoyed the water. Attached couple of photos for viewingsuzie a2019-09-12Fantastic The horseback riding was really good for someone that had never done hires riding before they put my mind at rest. The horse was really good and did ask they were asked we went and n the sea with them and then rode them back again. I would recommend this trip to anyone who is looking to do this.Alison A2019-08-25Simply Amazing We booked the 2 hour beach ride direct via email and were looked after from this point on. We had a driver collect us and return us to the hotel and the owner Fidel and his son Prince took us down to the beach with our horses Morgan and Big Red. The horses are in immaculate condition, really well looked after and Fidel made sure we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. We rode the horses along the beach and then bare back into the sea. It was lovely to see how much the horses enjoyed their beach visit and the sea. On the way back we had the opportunity to canter along the beach but again it wasn’t forced, we were made to feel comfortable and encouraged to do what we were happy with. Fidel you are a star, loved spending the morning with you and Prince and learning about St Lucia. I am a total beginner regarding horses but I felt totally safe, comfortable and at ease for the entire ride. If you’re considering a beach horse ride in St Lucia look no further than the Holiday Riding Stables, you won’t be disappointed. Thanks again Fidel and Prince and not forgetting Morgan and Big Red.Christine S2019-08-10Scenic riding My daughter and I booked a 2 hour trail. We chose this stable based on the reviews and were not disappointed. They arranged for us to be collected from our hotel which was very handy. As soon as we arrived at the stable we were met by Fidel (owner). He introduced us to our horses and ensured we were happy before we set off. We arrived at Cas en Bas beach where we had an opportunity to swim in the sea with the horses which was great fun. Fidel stayed with us the whole time and emsured we felt comfortable. On the beach there is also a bar and a few locals selling souvenirs but it is optionable. We finished off with a canter on the beach which was lovely before heading back. Horses seemed well kept and it was obvious that Fidel knew his horses very well. I would definately book again A few tips, bring a towel to stop saddle from rubbing in the heat, wear suitable footwear and wear a swimsuit or similar underneath you clothing so you can go in the sea. A great experience
