My daughter and I experienced the C-Ponies Platinum Water Excursion at Bradenton. Our Guide was Maya and we rode Snookie and Coral. I have been on many Horseback rides but this was by far the best experience I have had. The guide was wonderful and funny. The horses are beautiful and very well trained.The in-water ride was truly awesome and beautiful. We walked and swam in the bay near Bradenton, FL. C-Ponies made the booking and planning very easy. Highly recommend this horse back riding experience if in the area. Will do this again.

Everything with C Ponies was great from booking to finish. Rachel and Misty were wonderful to work with and took their time to tell us the stories of the beautiful horses in their care. The ride could not have been better, we even saw dolphins! I will definitely ride with them again in the future!

We decided the morning of to see if we could do the CPonies platinum package as part of our 15th wedding anniversary. I reached out to CPonies and despite the early hour received a response right away and they were able to fit us in at the time requested. We arrived and I was very pleasantly surprised to see beautiful horses, so well cared for, with lush coats that just looked so happy to be there. This was my first indication that CPonies is the real deal. The representatives, Misty2 and Rachel, were a joy. They were funny and personable and took care with each individual there. I immediately felt I was in good hands as a not so experienced rider. Misty took us out in the water with the horses and I was very impressed with how well she maintained communication with all of the riders and our horses. She took pictures of every one of us individually, and in groups and as the entire group. Pretty impressive considering she was on a horse and we were out in the Bay on a sandbar! The entire trip was phenomenal, I was so happy with it, as was my husband. We will definitely be back again and have already recommended it to several of our friends.

We weren’t sure exactly what to expect but were pleasantly surprised at every turn. When the weather started turning bad, our guide gave us several options to reschedule and kept an eye on the radar. . Rachel was very safety conscious. The water was high due to a storm moving in and she made adjustments to our riding plan. Gypsy and Pearl had terrific personalities and kept us well entertained. Rachel clearly enjoys her job. She was fun and encouraging. Gave us helpful instructions, taught us the history of our horses and helped us learn their personality quirks. We would do it again. Lots of fun. Definitely a worthwhile cause.

Nikki was a great guide. Very knowledgeable and you could tell she really cared about the horses. We had a great time and it was a new experience for us. We felt very comfortable on the horses - they shared everything we needed to know. We even got to see some dolphins. Whan an experience!

My two sisters were visiting from England and after hearing about my experience and joy from doing this last year it was top of their list to do. It was truly magical. Rachel is a terrific host and knows all the horses so very well. We were amazed by their stories which are so sad but we were so emotional to see how wonderful they are now cared for. This experience was humbling and truly exhilarating at the same time. The most beautiful personalities of each horse was felt by us all.

We decided to surprise my niece for her 10th bday and ride horses in the bay. It was so great and even though we are all beginners we had such a wonderful experience. Dolphins swam around us which just added to the experience. The ranch takes great care of these rescue horses and they all seemed to enjoy the ride. My horse loved to put her face in the water and blow bubbles.

This is a great outfit. The guide was fun and focused on safety for both horse and rider. The horses are well cared for and love their jobs. I highly recommend CPonies for all ages and riding skill for a memorable experience.

So very thankful I got to experience this adventure! Rachel our guide was fabulous! Very much enjoyed the back stories of the horses, and to see them thriving now!! See you next time Dori, you'll be forever in my heart:)

My friend and I are true lovers of horses. We decided to have a girl's trip to experience C Ponies and I had no idea it would be so amazing. Misty #2 was an incredible guide. Her knowledge of each horse and their stories was inspiring. The fact that each horse is a rescue and dollars spent help these magnificent creatures thrive is worth every penny. We will be back again and tell all of our friends too!!
