❓ Frequently Asked Questions
No! We have horses for complete beginners. The guides will help you throughout the tour.
Safety is our priority. Galloping is usually reserved for experienced riders and only on specific sections of the beach at the guide's discretion.
Generally, children 6-12 years old can ride their own horse if they are comfortable, but a guide will lead them. Younger kids may need to ride with an adult (please check with us).
