All of the staff at Horses on the Beach are terrific! They are so respectful, patient, helpful and friendly. I cannot say enough good things about all 4 of them! They take great care to make sure you have a horse that meets your riding needs. We have been on 3 rides with them (over the past 5 years) and have always had a wonderful experience & a fun time. My husband and I take our grandkids there to ride the horses, and they absolutely LOVE it & have never stopped talking about their rides after several years now. Our granddaughter just turned 11 years old and this was our gift to her this year for her birthday. She was so surprised and ecstatic! We take the 1st ride of the day (there are 4 rides a day, I think) before it gets too hot outside. It gets VERY hot & humid here, so keep that in mind. We thought when we got to the beach yesterday for our 10 a.m. ride, it was going to be really hot, but the cool breeze off of the water virtually eliminated the heat! It was very comfortable. Another thing that I love about Horses on the Beach is that their horses are rescues that they have nursed back to health! If ever in Corpus Christi or nearby, I highly recommend this as one of your activities, whether you have just adults in your party or it's a family outing. All will have a great time!

Wonderful experience. Booking horses was easy and explanation of what the ride would be was right on point. Everything was ready to go when we got there. They made forms easy to deal with. All of the horses looked in great shape and well taken care of. I've been riding for 40 plus years and took my son and granddaughter (5) for the experience of riding on the beach. It was a walk only ride but the horses were interested and did not have your typical nose to tail school horse attitude. We were a group of about 12 people several of the riders were inexperienced. The girls leading the ride were very professional helpful and wonderful to be with.

We enjoyed the horse ride. Staff are knowledgeable about the horses. This was a large group of riders and it took almost an hour to get started on the ride. There is limited shade around the property and no water available for the riders. It was very hot and would be nice to have shade and water to drink.

The sunset ride on the beach was amazing! We thoroughly enjoyed riding through the dunes and along the beach. I loved the way we rode as a natural group on the beach allowing us to interact with our family and other riders. Having a photo op for each individual was a bonus and the printed photos were reasonable compared to other attractions.
The staff were all very friendly and knew their herd. The horses seemed well cared for and all three of ours were a pleasure to ride.
The four star rating is only because our group was quite large with 28 riders. It took considerable time with each step, mounting, photo op and dismount. We returned to the barn well after dark. That definitely tested the patience of some of the horses at the end of a busy day.

This was the highlight of our 2-day trip to Corpus! The staff here were awesome and they had 70 horses to choose from! Kat was great at the front desk explaining the process and ensuring everyone had a horse that fit appropriately with their riding experience. She also took 1 photo of each of us riding the horse in the water along the beach. $8 for her photo print out on a 5x8. Dylan & his wife were very helpful getting everyone onto the horses and ensuring we felt comfortable. Very personable! They also made sure we were all safe while riding along the beach with cars, dogs and the public sharing the beach with us. Dylan & his wife even took photos and short videos of us along the way and made sure we captured special moments. The ride along the beach was great and very romantic! 100% recommend the sunset ride. Worth it! Thank you for such a wonderful experience.

We had the best time doing this! I've never done anything like this on the beach, but I'm so glad we did. My 2 sons and their fiances agree as well! The views were amazing and our guides couldn't have been any better. If you're looking for something to do on your beach vacation, I highly recommend Horses on the Beach. You'll be glad you did! 😃👍

We have been horseback riding all over the country and this was one of our favorite rides. It was so peaceful and serene. The animals are all in very good condition, strong and well taken care of. They are very well behaved, but not robots. Each one has his or her own personality, and that was really fun to see. They were compliant and knew just where to walk, but also obeyed individual commands perfectly. If you wanted to move up or circle back, or swing wider than the group, they went right along with your directions. The guides were great; personable and fun and easy to socialize with. We loved the peaceful beach and the gorgeous beaches!

Don’t miss this experience. The horses are well tended and well behaved. The ride is a leisurely pace and suitable for ALL ages. I chose the sunset option, the weather is more predictable and slightly cooler. Also the beach has less distractions for the horses. Highly recommend 🐴

Overall I enjoyed the experience, but several things could have made it better! First, having clear instructions on where the place is located would be helpful. The confirmation email had driving instructions, but they weren't very specific especially for someone who knows nothing about the area. The sign for the place isn't highly visible from the highway, and I only saw 1 sign for the place at the small check in area. Obviously, seeing a bunch of horses on the beach was pretty easy to spot once we were close enough, but we got stuck in traffic, and I wasn't exactly sure how long it would take us to arrive at the place since they said GPS instructions weren't accurate. I called the phone number listed on the confirmation email, and someone called me back about 10 min later after we had already arrived.
Secondly, taking smaller groups of people would be nice. We were in a group of about 20 people. My husband and I were some of the first few people to be placed on our horses. We waited for 20 min or so while everyone else got on their horses. Our son was the last person to get put on his horse. I felt cramped by the others during the ride, and I wasn't able to ride near my husband or son. My husband's horse wanted to be in the lead. My horse was near the front, and my son's was somewhere behind us. We couldn't see or hear him.
The staff was ok but not overly personable compared to other places we've ridden. It definitely just seemed like a job to them which is understandable to a certain extent, but if you're in a service-type industry, then it's helpful to act at least a little interested in your guests.
Sorry for not leaving a glowing review, but it's my honest opinion.

My son and I really enjoyed our ride. The wranglers were very nice and the horses knew their job and gave everyone a nice, safe ride. I have always wanted to ride horses on the beach and this did not disappoint. We had a lot of fun!

Are you okay with gambling your safety or the safety of your children and loved ones? The danger outweighs the beauty. I was bitten on the beach unprovoked as I rode along the beach with the group. These are Unpredictable animals. They do not have muzzles on the horses. They do not care and have no warnings about the horses unpredictable dangerous behaviors. DO NOT sign the waiver! In addition horses are not required to have updated SHOTS unlike dogs and cats do!! I've been in contact with animal control and bite investigators now on my case. They even quarantined the horse for 30 days. Educate yourself and don't ride these horses! These owners just want your money for their fancy living and other WELLS stable buisness. It's a BUSINESS!!. They don't care that I was bitten and my family was traumatized by the meat and blood dangling and pouring out of my wound on the beach. The female guide didn't want to lose her tips for ending the ride early to hall me and the panicked other riders back. She argued with Richard the other guide to keep going. I demanded we return. They have refused to refund me my money and have blown off my calls , emails and messages. I have a LONG recovery I'm on crutches and medication. I will have permanent disfigurement on my leg. DO NOT jeopardized your family or yourself. This place is a poorly managed place. No first aid kits and money hungry and they DONT GIVE A CRAP ABOUT YOUR SAFETY OR YOUR FAMILIES!

Hello Corrineh717
We appreciate your review; however, the one star is surprising. If it was truly a mistake, would you be willing to change the stars accordingly?
Thank you for your consideration.

With all the recent storm events, is this still open and operating as I would like like to try the week of October 1st?
Written September 25, 2017
Good morning, We are always available to answer your questions: 361-991-7433. Thank you for thinking of us.
We evacuated all of our animals prior to the hurricane and returned the following week. We are open daily for the horses have not stopped eating :) Fall is my favorite time to ride; let it be yours too.
Note: Because it is off season we are normally slower; however, due to full, local hotel occupancy with relief workers and displaced families, it is very slow.
We are open daily, but have limited hours.
Thank you,
Brennan
