Rancho Can Picafort: One Hour Horse Ride

Rancho Can Picafort - customer reviews:

  The ranch got my booking muddled with another that changed days so I waited in vain to be collected. The hotel receptionist called them and they sent someone to collect me. One the journey I was asked about my riding experience and was quite clear that I had ridden alot in the past but have now lost me confidence so needed a really steady horse that would pick up on my nervousness. No problem she said. Well I thought by that time they would have moved me to the 5pm but no, there was everyone on the 4pm mounted and waiting for me. I felt very rushed. They didn't all, but mine had a standing martingale (red flag). There was a general free for all as the horses jostled for pole position going out of the gate. And it just carried on really, ears back and kicking out at the horses behind. The boss man in the lead never came out of a walk, but because the three in front of me dawdled they kept doing horrid short trots to catch up. When we got to the edge of the beach one horse behind me with a beginner on rushed past us so of course mine thought way hey, we're off! I have a fear of being bolted with so I hated the whole thing. Then when we got to the clearing several horses went past me, which mine protested at and again I felt so anxious. How beginners cope I don't know. Perhaps not knowing what could happen kept them just sitting there. Once we were on the forest path the boss man didn't look round once so would have had no idea what was going on. In the clearing I couldn't help shouting noooooo when things were getting frantic so the boss did take notice and offered to swap horses, but he said that mine was quiet so I said no thanks. I mean what would be the point, he thinks they are all quiet. We had approx. seven or eight of us on the 4pm. It's such a shame I wasn't put back to the 5pm because only one lady went out with the boss then. Only three of us could have been a very different review. Good points...nice minibus for collection, good value, good hard hats with adjustable back straps, lovely pine forest (I tried to relax and enjoy! ) saddle in good condition, comfortable to sit in and looked a good fit on the horse.

  the horse riding itself was fine, but the staff was not very reassuring and were shooting loud all the time. it scared the children.

  Heel leuk wandeling maar de ene begeleider kwam agressief over. Vond enkel jammer dat we niet in het water gingen

• Bev Atkinson

  

  Excellent value for money drop off and return to hotel included. Hard hats provided horses well looked after plenty of shade for them all in good condition. I have rode most of my life and previously owned a few. The horse i rode was relaxed yet responsive, wonderful ride 99% off road, pine wood, dunes, beach and a short splosh in the sea. Asked if you want to canter, which I did and enjoyed, but this is your choice, which is good if not confident. As a 60+ years old, 1 hour was enough for the old bones and a treat that i would recommend.

  First time riding in a very long time and they explained really well and even helped you adjust along the track helping you to have a better experience. Horses looked well cared for and absolutely beautiful! The route they took us was gorgeous and mainly away from main roads and along the beach which was great Would go again!
