Horseback riding in Belize

[Gotaquestion]

Has anyone taken a "non-cruise" excursion for horseback riding in Belize? My 10 year old daughter is an experienced rider and very bummed that Carnival imposes a 12 year age limit. I just wondered what other alternatives we might have?

You probably need to check the ports board, but I have done the one thru the spa there.

 

We had a good time and our guide gave us a tour of the area and to shopping on our way back to port.

 

It was a very relaxed ride, only our group of 5. Horses looked well taken care of.

 

I was quite surprised to see all the pine trees there, but these pine trees had spider monkeys in the tops that really liked to put on a show.

Thanks for sharing your experience and also for the hint on the "ports" board. I'm new to this and your pointer really helps!

They had a great time. They got a wonderful lunch and horsback riding (my kids were age 11 and 6 then and both got to ride). of course it rained that day and even with the ponchos they provided my 6 YO was pretty wet and they gave her a dry shirt to go home with for free. Highly recommend them. This was from trip in Jan 2006.

Thank you! I've just dropped them a quick email to get current prices / details. I really appreciate the personal recommendation!!!:)
