C Ponies Beach Horseback rides

This is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that lets you experience horseback riding in Bradenton, FL. Begin your excursion by meeting our beautiful, amazing horses. 95% of these horses are rescues! Within minutes you’ll fall in love with this rare breed. Keep an eye out for wildlife, as it’s common to see manatees, stingrays, and dolphins swimming by. Palma Sola Bay is a natural breeding ground for our manatees! Enjoy the beautiful bay views as you ride with your gentle companion. Ask your guide about your horse’s story. You may even shed a tear when you hear some of the horrible conditions our horses came from. After a brief swimming lesson, our horses will swim while you ride them. The horses are never forced to swim; this is actually their favorite part! So grab hold of their manes and hang on tight! This almost feels like you’re flying through the air. There is no hard impact or bouncing as the horses’ feet do not touch the ground while they swim

Beautiful horses and wonderful experiences, Nikki and Amber are very experienced and fun to hang out with along with the horses! I love how all the horses are rescues and each have a fun personality (one of them is on island time lol). Would love to do again!!

Florida Beach Horses

We are a company that offers many unique beach horseback rides for the young, old, beginner, and experienced around the Tampa Bay area. Many of our horses are rescues from all different types of environments and are now living the best floridian life.

Reviewed By ZPolensky

This was by far the highlight of our trip. We had a bunch of beginners and an experienced rider in our group of 8 and they tailored the experience to fit everyone. My cousin got to gallop down the beach, which has been a dream of hers forever. The water activities were the bomb. I never thought I would body surf behind a horse!
