Horse riding
Scenery & surf on horseback
The wild East Coast and the less populated North of the island provide dramatic landscapes for some enjoyable horse riding .
The island’s two main stables offer relaxing excursions on horseback for intermediate-level and novice riders, including children. For 1–3 hours you soak up the scenery and the views and get to walk your horse along the beach through the surf.
Both stables offer magical moonlight rides when conditions are favourable.
Note: The horses are well maintained and the guides are professional.
Ocean Echo Stables is based in St John, in the southeast (this entry’s map location).
Ride Barbados is based in St Andrew, in the northeast.
Bank on paying around US$70–150/person (1–3hr) for a small group ride. Transfer to/from your lodgings can be arranged at extra cost.
