a year agoMy husband & I came to South Africa for our honeymoon, & on our stop in Swellendam, we decided to go horseback riding! Setting up an appointment with Debra was super quick & easy !Upon arrival, we were greeted so warmly & enthusiastically by Debra! It was my first time riding a horse (my husband had ridden before), but Debra explained everything & I felt completely safe in her hands! She introduced us to the horses & sized us for the equipment, & we were on our way!The views on the trail were absolutely incredible, the conversations with Debra were great, & you could tell that she truly does care for her horses & all her guests! Truly a great experience that you must try if in Swellendam!Thank you for such an amazing experience, Debra! :)

5 years agoRiding with Debbie was a wonderful experience! We had no prior riding experience but the horses were so friendly and calm that that wasn’t a problem at all. Debbie has such a wonderful personality and is incredible knowledgeable when it comes to horses. She is a very patient instructor, and we trusted her every step of the way. The trail through the forest is gorgeous, and we are excited to come back and ride a different route next time!

a month agoExtremely disappointed. Made an enquiry whilst on holiday, was told I would receive notification when a ride was available, and no one had the decency to let me know. I was asked weights of riders, fair enough, but was not asked about level of competence (we both ride in the U.K.) just got the feeling we were too old as I disclosed our ages. Couldn’t be bothered!! That’s how it felt. Will never contact them again, disgusting how they treat people.

a year agoWe loved our riding with Debra. The horses were very well looked after and you can tell she really cares for all of them. Beautiful scenery too!
