Horseback riding?

[Momma Mojito]

Two years ago when we in Aruba rode horses from the Gold Mine Ranch...Loved every minute!!!! Wanted to do in again on our cruise in April, I contacted them but unfortunately they are taking the week off that we were planning on being there.

 

I would really appreciate your suggestion as to another ranch that offers horseback riding

 

Thanks in advance

Check out the Rancho Ponderosa on Trip Advisor. Very highly rated. We are using them in February. They use paso fino horses which are supposed to be very expensive, well bred horses.

We rode horses at Gold Mine Ranch in February and thoroughly enjoyed. it. They only take a max of 6 people and it is not a "nose to tail" type of ride. Our ride was about an hour and a half. The owner picked us up at a gas station that was an easy 5 minute walk from the port. The horses were calm and easy to ride. There were just 4 of us on our tour plus the guide. We rode along the beach, took the horses in the water, and around some hills. It was a very pleasant ride. The guide stopped to take our pictures with our camera multiple times. I am sure we will use at least one of them in our Christmas card - the background of the water splashing behind us while we're on the horses is just beautiful. We would definitely recommend Gold Mine Ranch.
