Horse riding in Can Picafort

What do our customers think of this horse riding tour?:

• Claudia Harratt

  

  Very good riding trail. We loved it and got to gallop. Only if you wanted to though. Yes the owner is very brash and loud. But his bark is worse than his bite. We did the hour ride. They don’t have time to show you how to ride. So if you have never ridden before to expect a lesson. You get on and go. He did speak to the young children and explain how to hold the reins. The horses do this trial over and over. So will naturally follow each other. The horses seem well Looked after. And one was happily rolling around in field. We did get on the beach. But only for short while. If you want a long ride on the beach you need to do the 3 hour trail. I have been to 3 horse riding places in Mallorca. This was the best trail for me.

  Avoid this place! Myself and my two adult sons booked this as one son had a fantastic first time experience at another ranch a few days previously. The pick up car was 15 minutes late but got us there. Herded straight into a shelter and helmets put on us. Then the man, who we gather is the owner/boss rode in. He started by going round the group asking for tickets or money(cash only)! He rudely snatched our printed ticket from me, no manners or gratitude. Absolutely no instruction given and he mumbled to himself when he realised that most of group were inexperienced. He wagged me forward to get up onto a horse which was obviously too high for me. When I couldn’t get on he tapped his watch to hurry up as we only had an hour. This was in front of a group of more than a dozen customers. His attitude is horrendous, he shouldn’t be advertising a business. At this point I walked off and told him I’d changed my mind. He shouts and yells and made what should have been a memorable first time experience memorable for all the wrong reasons. Also my sons saddle was loose and he knew this as he had a proper experience a couple of days previously. The reins in this place rubbed his fingers raw as they aren’t leather like the other place. Feel sorry for the poor horses. Please book to go to rancho ses roques instead! They treat beginners decently and I have booked to go to them on my last day.

  Bit of a language barrier to start with but got there in the end. Loved the horse riding was very chilled and the horses were so well behaved. Would recommend to anyone looking to do this as we would certainly be back soon

• Pol

  

  Top experience! Amazing feeling while riding the horse in front of the beach and sea views. Totally recommended excursion.

• Titouan

  

  Balade sympathique où l'on peut galoper pour le retour. Cependant l'accueil laisse un peu à désirer.

• Tina

  

  I had an amazing time. We went back 3 times in total. Absolutley loved it.

• Amy

  

  My girls seemed to love it. Customer service skills are awful though. They were late picking us up. It was everyone's first time on a horse and as soon as you got there they just tried shoving a helmet on your head without any instructions. When it came to me trying to get on the horse I asked my partner to help me as I was nervous and the owners were trying to shove me on the horse which caused me to fall off the chair I was stood on (which wasn't sturdy anyway) and I hurt myself and was deeply embarrassed so refused to try again. The owners didn't apologise and left without me so I missed out on a deeply memorable experience with my family. Wouldn't recommend them tbh.

  This is a well established stable they have 40 horses and they are very well cared for they are kept in the shade and as soon as ride ends they go into shadey stables are unsaddled and given food and water . We have no riding experience so did the one hour ride this took you over a busy road then through the woods to the beach along the beach then back,the horses are well behaved (well mine was) my daughter was at the back and her horse kept breaking into a trot which was hilarious as she couldn't get the up and down that experienced riders make look so easy! It was a fun way to spend a couple of hours .

  If you’re looking for a ride that includes incredible views, a variety of horses for all then this is the place. I have horses back in the UK, I can say these animals are treated well, kept under shelter and after use they go in cool shady stables with hay and water. I can ride well but my boyfriend can’t, they had horses for the both of us. The experienced riders got to gallop whilst the inexperienced/beginners/nervous riders had the choice to stay behind and keep to walk/trot. However the horses are so well trained they know when to go and they know when to stop so you don’t even have to worry about being taken off with! I would definitely recommend to family and friends whether they be experienced or not!

  The route was the ride was great; through woods, on open plains and along the beach. Other comments about needing to have ridden a few time are accurate, they do literally chuck you on a horse and go. But the guy who runs the place is nice, and the horses seem reasonably well look after (from the view of someone who knows nothing about horses)
