“"The" place to ride horses”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 14, 2012
1
person found this review helpful

First, let me say there are several companies offering rides. Most of them ABUSE their horses...riding them all day long on the beach with no real break, water, shade, etc. My wife and I were shocked and dismayed when we saw this. Cuadra San Franciso's, however, is how it should be. The owners and tour guides were very friendly, and... More

“Best trail riding on the Baja”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 2, 2012

The trails and guides are excellent. The horses are in wonderful condition you feel like part of the family the moment you arrive for your ride. This is a great family activity even for very young children if you go to Cabo and want to ride horses this truly is the best in the Baja. More

“Beautiful Horses!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 24, 2012

My family and I just enjoyed 7 days in sunny San Jose. One of the best experiences of our vacation was riding at Cuadra San Francisco. The horses were some of the most beautiful, well kept and well trained I have ever ridden. Our guide was wonderful with my two children, 7 & 8. We rode up a lovely canyon,... More

“Great family activity.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 12, 2012

I agree with other reviews that horses are well cared for. They don't allow rides during early afternoon. During the peak heat hours. We did a private ride back though the hills and out on the beach. It was a great family activity different from resort activioties. Also we were able to get a childrens helmet onsite. Highly recommend this... More

“If I lived in Cabo this is where I would ride”

During our recent trip to the Hilton in Los Cabos Mexico my husband and I opted to ride horses at the Cuadra San Francisco Equestrian Center owned by Fransisco (Paco) Berrena. This place is the real deal. If you are a horse lover or just like to ride on vacations, you’ll want to ride here. It’s about a quarter mile... More

“Great time”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 3, 2012

My husband and I did an hour long hill ride with Cuadra San Francisco on March 1st. Their stables are very nice and horses are obviously very well cared for. They have dogs and chickens and cows around too-pretty neat! My husband had never ridden a horse before and I've only ridden twice before so they got 2 horses that... More

This was my first time riding and it was great. They give horses to the riders based on rider experience level. Wonderful time riding down to the beach and along the beach. No crowds in early January and the weather is perfect - low 80F for a 10am ride was gorgeous. It is a bit tricky to find the Equestrian... More
