Usually climbing on board a horse early, early in the a.m. isn't the way I start off the day. But, I'm in the Carribean! Our first stop on my Norweigan cruise was St Maarten and we had to hustle and bustle to the stables before we were even awake. But the exhilarating ride through Phillipsburg awakened us. The horse ride... More

This was such a fun thing to do. The people are so nice and we had a great tour guide (hi Jay!) who made us laugh and shared fun facts about St Maarten. The coolest part was running into a bunch of horses that were free to roam about the mountain and beach on their "day off". We had the... More

Went for the fun of it...and had a nice time! The stables are right past an industrial area near simpson bay. It's suitable for adults and children because they have other animals for little kids to see such as bunnies, ducks, sheep...etc. My 2 y.o loved it! They also have a little play ground-- not safe for little kids (the... More

We booked this through the cruise line. My daughter and I have done many trail rides, this was the worse one especially for the cost. When we got to the stables we waited over an hour to board a horse. The ride itself was a short loop. The guide stopped a lot to talk about St. Maarten but most of... More

Even tho we got lost on our way, we still got our full time. The staff was more than willing to accommodate our late arrival! Jay was our 25 year old guide who made our 50+ year old group of 4 women feel like we were in our 20s again. He was friendly, took lots of pictures for us and... More

I went horseback riding with Lucky Stables a few days ago, and unfortunately would not recommend them to others. The Good: -The horses looked happy and healthy. This is most important to me when choosing a stable and I am very glad to see that the horses are in great condition. -The guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. The Neutral:... More

I am an experienced rider, but I have never swam in the ocean with a horse before...I really enjoyed that! My boyfriend has only ridden a few times, but the stable provided very mellow horses and he had a very good experience as well. We paid for a two-hour afternoon ride, and there was only one other rider besides the... More

I feel a little guilty writing this review because we wanted to like it and clearly the people working there wanted it to be fun, but for us it didn't hit the mark for 3 reasons.... -You are riding in an industrial wasteland next to oil storage tanks. If you look to the water, it is beautiful views. If you... More
