Customer Reviews

Thank you Michelle for making our experience absolutely memorable.I would definitely love to do it again?? - Melissa Rosé Kahn


I rode a lovely, well trained Fresian mare who never put a hoof wrong. The ride was for an hour along trails in the hills overlooking the valley and vineyards. Our guide was delightful and a pleasure to talk with. All too soon we were back at the farm. Next time I would most certainly go for a much longer ride. - Chantal Dinnage


Thank you for a fantastic ride in the beautiful vineyards. Marne gave our daughter the best ride of her life(her words) and Pigeon was a great babysitter for Mum and Dad who are not so comfortable on horseback. You were both happy to give your time and commentary on the vineyards, horses and your interesting lives as well as allow us loads of cuddles with the horses. A brilliant morning all round, we will definitely come back when we are in the winelands again. - Anton, Pia and Saskia Terblanche


My little granddaughter and I enjoyed the ride very much. The gides were patient, attentiv and we felt good. I was a very pleasant experience and we have recommended it to friends already. - Martin Noser
