Such a beautiful morning! Beautiful scenery and relaxing ride! I regret not taking more pictures! I would have like to be allowed to walk and take pictures in the small beach area and walk by the small natural bridge. We just passed by.. I was disappointed but the rest of the ride was great! My tour guide was Leo! Very nice and attentive girl
WOW!!! What can I say? We had such a fantastic time! We were/are very inexperienced riders and they ( I can't remember their names anymore, lost my paper. A guy and a lady) gave us a wonderful time! We have a 9&11 year old that's never ridden a horse, but it wasn't a problem! They are SOOO good at what they do!! Thanks so MUCH!!
I was quite pleased with my ride! I was traveling with a group on an excursion from a Carnival Cruise ship.
I am an experienced rider (I work in a horse stable), and still had a fun, good time! All the horses are Paso Finos, so they're very smooth yet quick. It would be hard to fall off them. We covered a lot more ground than I thought we were going to. I even got a short opportunity to gallop across the sand.
We dismounted near the shoreline for 15 minutes to explore that sea cave/land bridge.
The guides were helpful in assisting the less experienced riders with their posture. The horses knew what to do and everyone was enjoying taking in the Aruba shrub/desert scenery.
There were also these cool little $3 wooden framed photos they took of us during the ride. Well worth it!
Family of 4 2 teen angers,both never rode before, the guide was great, the horses did all the work you just sit and enjoy the ride, the views are amazing when I go back to Aruba we will do again
Always loved this ranch. Lucho has nothing but love for his horses ♡
The staff was amazing. Flavio and Pedro was our tour guide. Recommend this tour
Best vacation horseback riding tour I've been on. The trip is through the desert to the beach and back. My favorite part was riding through a neighborhood and getting to see the non tourist side of the island. Flavio made the tour enjoyable and knew the horses well.
We had the best tour guides!!!! We had a blasts. Horses were great too. I rode "Tequila" and he likes to go!! I am a experienced rider and he was trotting and trying to run!! We went to the beach and the mines. Def do this again!!
2 1/2 hours of tranquility, sunshine , and good conversation with our guide Flavio(also known as kevin) most enjoyable/unforgetable excursion of the entire vacation and highly recommended
The best
Went to the Ponderosa today, had an excellent time with friends and our guide Flavio was excellent as well as the other staff who supported the tour. The horses are well cared for and make for a great tour (2 to choose from). We did the beach tour #1 and it was excellent. I rode Bacardi who was very careful when needed and also loved to open up to a gallop for some running fun. Be sure to make this a part of your trip to Aruba!!!!

We JUST got back to the hotel after a wonderful and safe horseback ride. We went from the ranch to the beach with a short break for a drink at the sea shore/gold mill ruins. The guides spoke Spanish and English very well and provided continuous tips on how to ride better. This way of seeing the coast was way more peaceful than riding UTVs or Jeeps and I would recommend it to anyone of any riding ability.
It was so fun!! We had a great time!!!
Very friendly and laid back. The ride was amazing and the views were pristine. Highly recommended.
Had a great experience with this company. They were very nice and helpful. The ride down to the beach was two hours of amazing sights and great views of the ocean. We even got to ride along the shore of the beach. They often stop to let you take pictures as well as allow you to take your own. You can tell that the owner and manager of the ranch put a lot of time into taking care of their horses. They gave me a drink at the end of my ride and talked to me. Very friendly. If you are a horse lover def check this place out!
