This ride takes place just before or after our low tides, so there might not be a lot of beach to ride on.
These rides are available for children as young as 10 and riders who weigh up-to 300 lbs. [Note: Children ages 3+ can do our Thrill Ride.]
Our horses are mostly rescue horses. We only use Certified BeachHorses–trained by us,–who enjoy being in the water. We prefer horses that are well-bred and professionally trained, but we are not limited to a single breed of horse. We are not horse breeders.
Second, we have a tremendous staff of talented guides.
Locals have been riding horses at Palma Sola Bay since the 1950’s. It’s a Bradenton tradition and folks love seeing the horses at they drive out to Anna Maria Island.
We use water-proof western-style saddles and custom-made waterproof bridles. Helmets and life jackets are provided for no additional charge.
