We had the most wonderful day riding through the vineyard followed by a lovely lunch with wine. After a safety brief we were introduced to the gorgeous, well cared for horses before heading out in a small group. We’re not experienced riders but we were put at ease by Louise, Rudy and the horses so the trail was relaxed and beautiful. The scenery is just epic. So many happiness spikes!

This was a fantastic experience! We picked the half-day horseback ride and rode throughout the different vineyards for about five hours. Halfway through the ride, we stopped at a winery to taste seven different wines and some amazing food. We liked the wine so much that my wife purchased a few bottles to take with us. We are not experienced riders, and they took the time to make sure we were safe and having a great time. The views were breathtaking! We highly recommend this tour if you are visiting Cape Town.

Beautiful horses and amazing ladies who were a joy to ride with. A big thank you to the Pink Geranium girls for introducing me to the SA riding experience and the stunning scenery. I did a 2 hour ride and then re-booked a half-day wine tour and both were amazing. Highly recommended if you love riding in a beautiful setting. Thank you Lucky for two enjoyable rides.

Wonderful riding with Louise over 3 days through the vineyards and on the beach. I rode a different horse each day, all beautifully mannered and lovely to ride. Such a great experience to be able to ride in these open spaces with the backdrop of Table Mountain. Thoroughly recommend riding here and I am planning my next trip!

Highly recommend Louise and the team at the Pink Germainium -- if you are considering any sort of horseback riding experience in the Capetown wine country, look no further, Louise and team are phenomenal across the board. My wife and I did the full day riding tour during a time when all of the wineries were closed due to COVID, but Louise went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time, enjoyed the idyllic scenery, and had a scrumptious feast of a picnic to boot. Louise and team's knowledge / experience and genuine care for the horses makes any tour with them a treat not to be missed during your time in Cape Town.

My wife and I did a full day horseback riding tour with Louise and had an amazing time. We booked directly through her website (can't put a URL on TA - search for Horseback Riding at Pink Geranium and you will find it) and the communication was excellent from the start. It is clear that Louise wants to give the customer a riding experience that is well tailored to what they want, what their riding capabilities are and what is best for the horses. My wife rides a fair bit whereas I am a beginner rider - she paired us each up with a perfect horse. Kelly's would require a bit more attention which kept Kelly engaged and mine was a well seasoned horse that still had lots of capability with the right rider. It was just the two of us and Louise on the tour which made for great riding, and great conversation. A picnic lunch was packed for us and we rode to a perfect spot to enjoy scenery and the food Lou had made. Unfortunately, and randomly, both of the wine farms we stopped at were closed for the day so we could not do tastings, but Lou brought wine, and got a bottle from one of the closed vineyards for us to enjoy on our first stop and over lunch. This was not a huge issue for us as we were doing wine tastings the next day, and this excursion was more about the riding than it was the wine. It is clear that Louise takes care of the horses and they all appeared to be healthy and sound. The horse my wife was riding (Princess) ended up lame at the end of the ride (which happens with any horse for many reasons) and after a short period of assessment, Louise decided it best that she not have a rider on her for the last couple kilometers. So, Kelly jumped on the horse that Louise was riding and Lou walked beside Princess the rest of the way back. It would have been easy for someone to cared less about the health of the animal to force the horse through the soreness. This is what you want to see from someone who works with animals! (Louise updated us and Princess was checked by the Vet the next day, and had no major injury - just soreness and will be off work until healed). Note that we rode in English saddles and I suspect that she puts everyone on an English saddle. So it's not the cushy/comfy western saddle that some people would be used to on many commercial "trail rides". But what you get with this ride is not a commercial "trail ride". It is far beyond that. It is the best way to see the beautiful wine country for horse people and I can't recommend it enough.

My husband and I had the best time riding with Louise and friends! We chose this riding experience due to all the reviews about how well cared for the horses are, and we were not disappointed. Round, shiny, and friendly ponies! The views were absolutely gorgeous, and Louise let us take our time to soak them all in. Our picnic lunch was a blast, and we very much enjoyed getting to know them. Hope to do this again soon!

My girlfriend and I decided to take part in the 1 hour trail ride through the vineyards on our way back to Cape Town. It’s such a unique way to see the vineyards and country side. The horses are incredibly well trained and easy to ride (even for novice riders like myself) with great instruction from Louise. I would definitly recommend this experience if you are in or around the area!

We went for an hours horse riding and that was just perfect for us, as we are beginners! Beautiful landscape and Louise and her horses took very good care of us! Also, we had the picnic which was delicious.

Me and my friend went on a two hour wineyard tour today and absolutely loved it. Both Louise and the horses were so friendly. We will definitely come back!

One of the best horse rides I have ever taken. Louise perfectly adapts to the riders - in my case experienced, and each trip is different. I love the fact that the horses are very well taken care of, with the utmost respect for their needs and keeping it as natural as possible. We rode for two hours, took a break next to a big hay bale, popped a great bottle of rose and then continued our trip. I had so much fun riding through the vineyards, galoping and feeling free in south africa. Thank you Louise!!

What a wonderful couple of hours we had out horse riding!! Would have stayed out longer, but my husband doesn’t really ride. Simone was fantastic at pointing things out and obviously loves the horses. They were well looked after and we were matched perfectly to our steeds! Thank you so much Pink geranium and Simone for a lovely morning!

Horses were great. Not your usual “nose to tail” trail ride, they were obviously well schooled. If you’re looking for an authentic South African riding experience this is it. Louise is very knowledgable.

Had a great experience on the 2 hour trail ride. The horses all had lovely personalities and Louise tailored the ride well for our mixed ability group. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone who wants to see the local scenery and not go on a touristy outride.

The horses are treated very well they look super good. They are well taken care of. Simone the guide was very friendly! The horses are easy to ride. But the most important thing is that they only give private trails so you won’t be placed in a big group. It’s just with the persons you booked it with :-)
