    We had a large group 15 riders 7 on ATVs and 8 on horseback. Super well accommodated for both. Great staff. It was hot but they provisioned us well for the heat. We rode as 3 families with kids and adults. All the staff were delightful. Very much a family feel of the operation in the best possible sense of the term. Would HIGHLY recommend. It is dusty but that is part of the climate recommend sunglasses as a result.

    We couldn’t praise our hosts here enough, we are three older middle aged people with little or no riding experience and Michelle and her niece made sure we had a great safe experience. We rode through the vineyards and bush with plenty of chat about what we saw , pointing out things of interest.we would recommend 1000%

    We enjoyed sharing the trial ride with our kids. They never rode horses before and was a bit scared at first, but with the great guidance of owner Michelle and exceptionally well trained horses they quickly became confident riders. It is definitely recomendable and we had a great experience all together. The beautiful farm with its incredible views is the perfect setting. We also enjoyed the company of their friendly Jack Russel, Lexi leading the way!

    Looking for a family activity in Cape Town, we read about the combination of a dedicated horse breeder/rider and the film industry and decided to try it out. It was definitely worth the trip. The horses are very well looked after with lots of space and love. Thanks for a fantastic (and fast) ride!
