My bf and I went for the hour and half horseback ride through rolling fields and tree lined paths to the beach. The ride was so much fun, especially the beach! First Bernard picked us up at our resort and gave us some history of barbados as we drove to the stable, and showed us some beautiful sites on our... More

Samantha was absolutely wonderful. Her helper were ssooo very patient with us as we aren't regular horse back riders. They were very very good with the horses. The ride was beautiful. Samatha took pictures of us as well as the landscape as we rode so we could enjoy the scenery & answered many questions we had about the island as... More

My husband and I booked a 1 1/2 hour trek with Ocean Echo Stables. We hadn't been on horseback for quite some time, but after 5 minutes of instruction, we were off for a scenic ride on two gentle horses, capably led by Albert and Menard. We soon found Menard to be an entertaining and informative raconteur, much enhancing the... More

I've recently returned from a cruise around the Caribbean,the highlight of the whole trip was the day I went riding at Ocean Echo Stables.I was collected at the port by Bernard and the journey to the yard was an education in itself,lots of information about the Island and musing on life itself! On arrival at the yard I was introduced... More

What a lovely day out. Picked up from the hotel on time, nice chat/tour/history lesson on the wayto the stables. Nice horses, perfect for me as I had not riden for a while and they knew what to do. Trekked down to beach, more chatting about the island on the way - ask about anything you want. Picnic on the... More

We have been to Barbados 3 times. One of our favourite things is going on a horse ride. We hadn't used Ocean Echo stables before,but would absolutely use them again. We are novices with no prior riding experience, but this does not detract from the experience, due to their confidence in their horses, and their care to ensure all passengers... More

We chose this trip based on a review by another novice rider, as we're both completely inexperienced with horses, and my single lesson in England had put me off equine pursuits completely. But the positive reviews of Ocean Echo Stables are spot on. Samantha confirmed he booking and kept us informed of pickup arrangements, Bernard picked us up and Hayley... More

I am a regular rider but my boyfriend had never ridden a horse in his life so I was understandably nervous for him but I needn't have worried as the horses know their jobs and we were in Bernards capable reined hands. We walked through unspoilt country and down to the sandy Atlantic coast it's a once in a lifetime... More
