    Travelers consistently rave about the exceptional care given to the horses here, noting how friendly, well-trained, and gentle they are. The guides, including Miranda, Kelsi, Debbie, Nadia, and Stephanie, earn special praise for their professionalism and ability to make beginners feel completely at ease. Many first-time riders mention feeling nervous initially but quickly gaining confidence thanks to patient instruction and supportive coaching throughout the ride. The beach rides themselves create magical moments, with sunrise and sunset tours being particularly popular for anniversaries and special occasions. Guides go the extra mile by capturing photos during the experience and sharing them promptly. The horses respond beautifully to commands and handle various rider skill levels with remarkable calm. Visitors repeatedly mention plans to return, which speaks volumes about the quality of the experience from booking through the actual ride itself.

    Stephanie did a great job this morning. My wife and I had a great time. Horse back riding on the beach is a beautiful experience. Happy Trails has beautiful and healthy horses. Tact was in great shape and saddles are very comfortable. I would recommend this adventure with happy trails to anyone!
