Junior made our ride fantastic ! This was a honeymoon treat doubled with my husbands first time ever on a horse ! We got to trot - gait - canter at our pace with junior telling us stories and jokes along the way . We had an amazing time
ANIMAL ABUSE!!!
Absolutely do not go there. The horses are malnourished, neglected, lame, and carry much more weight than they should or can handle.
The lady also has the condition: “If you present yourself at your appointment and for whatever reason do not do the tour, 50% of the payment must be forfeited.”
Terribly poorly (pathetic!!) maintained ponies! Way too skinny, don't go here! And the terms and conditions are ridiculous: ‘if you present at your appointment and for whatever reason do not do the tour, 50% of the payment must be paid’. That means that we actually had to pay after we saw the animals. Hopefully something changes for the welfare of the animals because this was abuse. Our hearts broke when we drove away.
My wife & I visited this ranch during our honeymoon in Curacao. Junior the tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about horses, the surrounding area, and how to caterer to our skill levels….which was none. The horses were well cared for and gentle with us, although I think the girl horse Mari that I was riding had a crush on Charming the horse that Junior was riding because she wanted to do whatever he was doing when he was near. But seriously the tour was great, we really enjoyed our experience which lasted for a couple of hours and cost $125 USD each. If we visit Curaçao again, we will definitely be doing this again.
DO NOT GO ://: ANIMAL ABUSE
We really wanted to go horseback riding this vacation here in Curaçao. So my dad looked for a place and we went. There were some videos and photos on the Instagram page, but I didn't notice anything unusual or suspicious (Dad booked it, so it's probably fine). When we arrived, there were five horses, already saddled and waiting in the blazing sun. THE HORSES WERE WAY TOO THIN AND LOOKED VERY UNSAFE AND SAD! They were all very small, super skinny, and barely had any muscle.
My dad is just an average-sized man, quite large. He got on, and the back of that small horse, which weighed half his weight, completely collapsed. And the horse turned out to be lame.
We got off and left!
All of them were thin, skinny, starving, unhealthy, and not happy. "They kick people and horses, but they don't do anything else."
Maybe a step stool to get on so you don't pull the horse over—nope, no need for that—or a safety helmet—nope, no need for that—they'll never fit anyway.
*In summary, this is really not a good place to go horseback riding. The horses are only seen as moneymakers and aren't properly cared for!*
I regularly ride horses in the Netherlands and know the difference between a healthy horse and an unhealthy one.
