  We booked a ride for 3 adults on the 7th Feb, and Carol was very flexible about the possibility of rescheduling our ride as the weather wasn't the best. It ended up being good enough to ride and we arranged the ride to be 30mins later to accommodate for the near last min rescheduling. Thank you Carol, for being so patient! We had a wonderful ride, the helmets provided came in a variety of sizes which were well looked after. Carol and Mandy (her helper) were very good at making sure we were comfortable and OK during the ride (we were all beginners). Carol would introduce and tell us a little about the landscape during our scenic ride, and took many photos of our group! There were other horses in paddocks which the team would point out and introduce them to us. Each horse (Spook, Fern, Pluto) has their own personality and Carol/Mandy would explain their behaviours so we weren't taken by surprise when the horses did what they do. All the horses are well loved and looked after; we were given the chance to do post-ride care with the horses (wipe down sweat, brush, etc) and were given the opportunity to feed them carrot treats! We have an extremely enjoyable ride, Carol and Mandy were attentive and looked after us really well, made us feel at ease during the ride and provided a wonderful experience.

  We went as a small group of brand new riders, Carol and Mandy were extremely knowledgeable and did a wonderful job coaching us. The horses were obviously well loved and extremely well taken care of. It was very fun to ride in the bush and Carol even took photos of us during the ride. It was a great experience!

  It was an amazing experience to ride through the bush and you can ride down at the beach too. Would definitely go there again and would recommend to everyone, they also can do all levels of riding

  Had an amazing day out with the wife on these amazing horses today. Carol was an awesome guide for us, giving helpful riding tips and scenic commentary the entire horse trek. Was pretty much my first time on a horse, but thanks to my horse adjusting for me , I enjoyed myself the entire ride through paddocks, Bush and along ridges to take in the incredible scenery along the eastern coastline. Highly recommended, you won't be disappointed. I'll definitely go again 👍

  Amazing ride with some very nice horses. They were very calm and well trained horses which means whether you are a beginner or experienced rider you'll have a good ride. Our teacher was excellent, knew a lot about horses and the area. I highly recommend Coastal Riding, all in all the trek had great views with excellent horses and an experienced teacher.
