Well it's been about a month since I had the pleasure of experiencing Mexico's different terrains by horseback, does my mind not travel back to that two hour journey every day! I am barely an experienced rider... I used to ride in my youth, while I feel comfortable on and around horses, I would have to say that having riding... More

Have you ever met a person and knew you had a connection? Well, that's how I felt when I was riding AJ at Painted Ponies. What a fantastic animal!

We had a great time on our horseback ride. It was my 6-year-old's first time riding so they led him on a pony and had a helmet for him to wear. He loved it! The ride along the beach was beautiful. I would highly recommend this place. More
