    This was our 3rd time my daughter and I rode the horses! It was amazing. It was so much fun and relaxing. Loved riding in the water. The horses actually are swimming. You can even stand on your horse AND get into the water and cuddle with them. I highly recommend Florida Beach Horses. The horses are so sweet and well-trained. We can’t wait to go again!! Florida Beach Horses are the best!
