I booked a solo holiday to Cape Town and was desperate to trek . Horse Riding Cape Town is an booking agency run by the very patient Stephanie . You tell her your requirements ie fast pace ?, slow notice pace ,beach ride ,vineyard etc and she will taylor to your needs.excellent service indeed .
You then pay in advance to agency
All this information I didn’t know and tried to research so I’m now passing on my experience to other travelers.
Firstly I was driven to Franschhoek which is inland and incredibly hot . Water and lotion a must .
Rusty my guide was incredible. We went out on a two hour private trail . The scenery was lovely . We rode through the olive vines and grape vines . We picked juicy plums fresh from the vines . Tennessee my chestnut mare was a delight. We cantered and its clear that Tennessee enjoyed her work
Thank you to all
Next stop was Yzterfountein . 1.5 hours from 1st ride . The beach was amazing. Dominique was so friendly and lovely. My mare was an Arab
called Cassie . She was forward and accommodating. We galloped along a beautiful stretch of beach . Dominique took lots of videos and pictures. We saw giraffe, zebra , buffalo. It was amazing
Thanks to my driver .
Well worth doing this

Me and my mom (both experienced but retired horse riders) had booked the vineyard trail from 3,5 hours including wine tasting. Arriving at the location we had a warm welcome from Dominiek and Marily and a bunch of dogs. Dont forget to bring cash because they dont have card option!
We were both a perfect match with our horses. Who are very well taken care off and trained. It was only us together with the guides. So we could do everything at our own phase. The trail through the vineyards is breathtaking. And the winetasting itself also very nice (even though my mom does not drink alcohol, they made here a special coffee). Dominiek also brings extra water for along the way!
We are in love with this place and the horses and highly recommend it to anyone who loves to do something different than the typical whine tasting! Also suitable if you are less experienced

We had a private horse ride with Dominique in Stellenbosch. After an hour ride, we had a very nice late afternoon lunch with wine, bread, cheese and fruit (specially arranged for me ‘cause I don’t like cheese).
Dominique is a very lovely lady, the horses are very sweet (Magic & Merlin).
Special thanks for Stephanie. We asked for a date/time that was not available. She did everything to find a date and time that suited us and due to that we had an unforgettable horse ride 😃
Thanks

I get it. I booked the wrong date for a birthday experience and will take the mistake on the chin.
What I do find interesting is the absolute lack of empathy and any attempt to rectify the situation, or maybe offer a rebooking at a reduced cost. Something. Anything... but no. Absolutely nothing coming through at all: "... you had ample opportunity to notice your mistake."
I would firmly suggest that you find another booking agent to book this experience through.
This is no way any refection on the experience itself.

Enjoyed my ride but the advertised 'beach ride' was short lived. The hour and a half ride took at least 35 minutes to get to the beach then maybe 20 minutes up and back the beach then 35 minutes back. Scrub land to get to the beach, not very interesting really. Horses quite calm and generally obedient. They looked in fairly good condition. 2 guides were jolly but not terribly helpful, expecially as I told them one lady in front of me was really nervous and was having trouble controlling her horse. They didn't seem worried or help her in any way. Shame.
When trying on helmet at the beginning I thought mine was on the loose side but the bloke said "don't worry we're only walking the horses"!! Not really the point!!! Was exceptionally hot, they could have provided some water would have been useful. Advertised as you must wear long trousers, one of the party had shorts on! No point in having rules then??
It was OK, not all bad but the experience could have been better.

Me and my friend absolutely loved our horse ride on the beach. As two experienced riders with horses at home it was great to be able to have a canter on the beautiful beach we was taken to. Dominique and helpers were very friendly, interactive and made us feel comfortable and at ease. The horses were lovely and had personality which we liked! Would definitely go again if returning to Cape Town!

Such a wonderful day, beach and roaring sea! It was just me and the guide so got to enjoy the silence as much as I wanted. They have horses suitable for everyone, I just wish I'd be a better at riding, had hard time to get mine obey me, stubborn little one :)
The farm, where the stables are located is just fantastic, attraction as it self to be honest. Had breakfast before the ride at the farm market cafe and there's a shop selling locally produced goodies etc. Also a small chocolate shop in the premises.

An easy and very pleasant experience at Noordhoek. Was long enough to be fun, but not so long that it was too tiring. Would recommend.
