Customer Reviews
My mom and I absolutely loved our experience with Hollywood Horse and Pony trekking! Ray greeted us right away at the gate and was a lot of laughs. Lisa and Hannah were incredible guides, had great conversation, and the views along the trek were amazing!! They were very accommodating with skill level and provided a lot of guidance for beginners. If you have experience riding there are plenty of opportunities to canter if you'd like. Again, Ray, Hannah, and Lisa were extremely hospitable and the experience was overall fantastic! They even offered to take pictures along the ride. I can't recommend this enough! It will definitely be a highlight of our trip!
What a fun trek! We had a great time with Ray, Lisa and Hanna. (Our guides) The horses were lovely and very easy to handle. We had the best weather and the farm was beautiful! Well worth the drive and price. Wish I could go every day.
Myself and my boyfriend went for our 7 year anniversary. We were complete beginners and had no idea about horse riding. I can safely say I am so grateful for choosing Hollywood horse and Pony trekking to be my first time. Ray is so kind, funny and comforting. He made us both feel safe immediately, we knew we were in the right hands as beginners. They even provide you with boots and helmets so everything you need is just yourself - they even provide confidence! Ray is incredibly experienced and he and his partner have trained the horses incredibly well. Every horse was so well behaved and just beautiful. The scenery is next to godly, with beautiful hills and astonishing views. Fields full of foals and horses, greenery everywhere, this truly is a paradise. Worth every single penny and we will 100% be returning for a giggle with Ray (and Lisa, she’s great) THANKS GUYS!!!
