Customer Reviews
Me and my teenage daughter had 4 great days that overshot our expectations! We had expected nice riding, but the amazing scenery was a bonus we were not prepared for.The long beaches gives opportunities for cantering that are impossible around a city where we live. I am a mid level rider myself and after the first to me pretty scary canters I felt completely safe because the horses are so calm, experienced and used to the landscape, the types of rides and each other. They are really well kept. My daughter who is a much better rider than me also got the opportunity to do a free gallop on a racing beach and had the time of her life. Cantering in the woods was also super exciting when we had to duck for the twigs and branches. As the horses were so safe I felt completely safe whatever we did.The day trips were quite different, some with more action, some longer ones with a lot of walking and more focus on the scenery.The farm is lovely and with a really family feel. If you expect to have everything prepared for you before and after riding and just be there for being serviced this might not be the place for you. You will be expected to help out with tacking and taking care of the horses both before and after riding. To me this is an important part of horsemanship and a way to get a feel for the mood of the horse at the beginning of the day, but I know not everybody agrees and have other plans than washing off a sweaty horse after a full day of riding. I truly enjoyed the place with all the chicken, dogs and even a miniature Shetland cross breed around. It is not an industrial stable like some others we have visited. We had a great time!
An absolute awesome three days at Island View Riding Stables Family event comprising family of four and two grandfathers. Riding experience spanning from “been riding my whole life and have my own horse” to “first time ever on a horse”. Ursula assessed and paired us with the perfect horses. We had an absolute blast. The three more experienced did two full day trails in addition to the first day. Well ridden horses, positive and skilful staff, and Ursula was just amazing. We highly recommend this riding venue and hope we will be back in close future.
Awesome! and teeming with life and love, for horse and human alike This proud and wonderful stable will give tou the rides of your life, combining real safety with real adventure in the most heartful way. Island View Riding brings ALL the good, i saw, to where it counts most: I feel that Their horses are happy. Their respect for nature encompasses ALL (ours and theirs and the lands included) The crew is skilled and welcoming. The guided horse rides they offer in the surrounding landscape are packed with action, relaxation and variation. Thank you, Island View: you are THE BEST
