I arranged a two hour ride for myself and my girlfriend, both of us complete novices. Sophie promptly answered all my questions and made great suggestions. I was after a sunset ride like the website photos and Sophie suggested the perfect time for our ride. We were very well looked after and given the proper guidance throughout. Our horses Kiss... More

My third time riding with Zouina Cheval, came all the way from Malta for a six day 'Knights of Essaouira' trek. The organisation is totally flawless, super fast communicating with Sophie via email before hand and then Najib at the stable in Morocco. We were a group of six girls, and my being the only native English speaker was hard... More

we debating whether we should do a camel ride in Essouira with the kids as every day we were on the beach, we were hassled by people asking us to come with them and see their camels! 'good price for you'..... Decided to ask Bobak at our Riad (Sidi Magdoul) for advice and he recommended this crowd. He even rang... More

Brahim took us out for a 2 hour ride (which turned into more of a 3 hour ride!) which was fantastic. He was a great teacher, sadly I couldnt live up to his expectations of keeping the reigns down, but he quickly had us galloping along the beach! Excellent guide and teacher with great english skills.. and he even took... More

A smaller, very well run stable with absolutely beautiful stallions and lovely guides. The owner Sophie was super helpful in organising my two hour ride throughout the magical eucalypt forests, dunes and beaches. I was greeted by two amiable hounds when I entered the stables who then accompanied us on our ride...having as much fun it seemed as I did.... More

We had an amazing time on our two-day trip from Diabat to Sidi Kaouki and back. Lovely horses, for both beginners and experienced horse riders. Special thanks to the team - food was great and the camp set up very nicely. Thanks to Najib who took a bunch of photos in full gallop on the beach - truely great memories... More

We are very happy about our choice to have ride with Zouina Cheval during our short stay in Essaouira. Guides were expierenced, skilly, polite, always ready to help and good english speaking. And to agree about ride via Sophia was easy and quickly. It was excellent expirence, and without doubt something not usual for us, maybe just our riding skills... More

At first, I put low expectation no matter how good the review was, because I thought what would be different from camel riding in Sahara? But then, I was surprised because it was really different and fun! The camel was higher and more active, it almost feel like riding a very high horse exploring the lovely view of Essaouira's beach...

We booked easily from home with this company as we were very impressed with the website and other testimonials. Our guide and fellow rider was charming, experienced, and great company for our two hour ride. He was extra patient too as the mist engulfed us and made the ride rather memorable. Sadly after arriving back at our hotel we discovered... More
