Omg the sunset ride met ALL of my expectations. My husband (Ivan) and I got to ride Medicine Man and Gunner! We loved how we were paired up and the ride was beautiful, relaxing, and enchanting. I look forward to coming back to Corpus Christi- this will be a must do for us! PS The pictures made the whole memory even more memorable read more

The horses were absolutely beautiful and clearly well cared for, and the scenery made for a memorable 25th birthday experience. From an animal and setting standpoint, everything looked great. Unfortunately, the guide's demeanor took away from what should have been a fun and relaxing ride. When we arrived and paid (nearly $300 for two people), she made a comment about having "seen crumpled one-dollar bills before but never hundreds," which felt unnecessary and unprofessional. Throughout the ride, she micromanaged constantly despite us following instructions and staying behind her horse the entire time. At the end of the ride, when I said thank you, she commented that it looked like my shorts were undone. They were slightly baggy Levi shorts -- that's the style -- and they were clearly not undone. When I calmly said, "No, they're just baggy," she turned to the other attendants as we were walking out and asked them to look and confirm. At that point, we simply left. Making personal comments about a guest's clothing and involving other people was unnecessary and inappropriate. For the price paid, I expected professionalism and a welcoming atmosphere -- especially for a birthday celebration. The horses were wonderful, but the overall experience felt overly critical and oddly personal at times. For guests celebrating special occasions, a more professional and welcoming tone would have made a big difference. read more

Such a great time, the crew and the horses were really great. I highly recommend this you won't forget it.

My valentine and I just finished our Valentine's Day Sunset ride at Horses on the Beach and it was awesome! The staff was friendly and the horses were so sweet! We rode nice and easy for 1.5 hours. We were first time riders, so we'd say it was worth every penny, and we got the souvenir photos. We definitely left wanting more -- in a good way. The only disappointments were that we could not trot with our horses once we got comfortable, we were in such a large group of novice riders that most couples' horses had trouble staying next to each other, and the weather was less than ideal. It was cold and cloudy, so no beautiful sunset was seen. We'll have to try again soon! Tips: 1. Check the weather before you book, and if it isn't looking like it'll be to your liking, change your reservation in advance. 2. Dress comfortably and cutely for photo ops. 3. Do NOT drink/eat much before you go. (They only have porta potties.) 4. Bring toilet paper and hand sanitizer... for the porta potty. read more

Our guide Laura was exceptional. The horses are well cared for and the saddles and tack are in pretty good condition We did the 4pm ride(the 630 sunset was sold out). I like the horses have cover while they hang out together during the day. Overall excellent vibe. Snd walking the beach? Doesn't get any better? read more

We had an amazing time on the horses. We are beginner riders and they gave us the perfect horses to ride for our first time. All the staff was extremely kind, friendly, very knowledgeable, and welcoming. I'd definitely recommend to anyone wanting a bucket list experience for all riding experiences! read more

My baby sister went there for her 25th birthday. She came home in TEARS because the instructor (who did not mention her name) woman in her mid 30's early 40s brown hair that BULLIED HER the ENTIRE TIME. She publicly embarrassed her making comments about her shorts stating that they "looked unbuttoned" when my sister told her that it was in fact not unbuttoned, the instructor then said to the entire crowd of participants "don't you think that they look undone"? She publicly embarrassed her, and was very rude. My sister called just now to explain her experience and the manager was less than helpful. "We haven't ever had complaints about her before, we will speak to her when she comes in" no apologies. The horses were beautiful and I hope that they treat them better than they do their customers. read more

For Valentine's we decided to ride with Horses on the Beach in Corpus. It did not disappoint. It was a big group of about 20 people. They pair you beautifully with a horse. You do not need previous riding experience. In fact, many in our group, it was their first time. The horses are very gentle and trained to go easy. We rode Cisco and Apache. Apache got in trouble for acting up a bit but the guides jumped in right away and helped out, I was never nervous with him knowing the guides were around and he was just being happy. The ride was relaxing and being on the beach and watching the sun go down was amazing. It is a fabulous experience and highly recommend. read more

Girlfriend and I had a few days on the island and stopped in to ride some of their horses. We were greeted by Cash inside who proceeded to take great care of us for the entirety of the ride. Takes about 15 minutes to get out to beach, and then it was so beautiful. Cash even rode by and grabbed a great picture of my girlfriend and I using my phone. Would definitely recommend. read more

We had the best time on this ride. The ride was largely uneventful and it was a group of just 5 of us, all beginners. It was a lovely stroll on a gorgeous beach on a beautiful day. Doesn't get better than that. I didn't read the other reviews until after our ride and I'd offer these tips to potential riders: - if you are inexperienced do not go during peak season where they have large groups and probably have to assign horses that are not the best temperament. - we had one guide for our group of 5. Noted other reviewers had one guide for much larger groups. That really is not acceptable since one guide cannot control such a large group. - make sure you are seated comfortably before departing. My friend's saddle was not centered so she was uncomfortable the whole way to the midpoint. At that point the guide helped her adjust the saddle. - I recommend wearing your helmet. Horses are unpredictable and with so many variables of riders and horses, better to be safe than sorry. - the picture they take for you on the beach is gorgeous. You will want to buy it. Again, small group of 5 so we had no issue waiting a bit as each rider had their picture taken, but it would be annoying to wait so long for a large group. The key to a good ride is a small group. They should not book large groups and they should add a second guide for larger groups. Also appreciate that many of the horses are rescues, and the horses seem really well cared for. read more

The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about their horses. Also they fitted the right horse with the rider's experience. We saw coyotes and deer along our trail ride. Riding along the beach was a relaxing experience. Definitely worth the trip! Amazing atmosphere! read more

First time here and the staff was super helpful and the horses were well behaved. They even took pictures of us on our phone so we have wonderful reminders of this visit. Highly recommend!!! read more

Went there for my birthday to do a 1hr ride. Was a terrific experience and will go again. I got to learn all about our horses love drama with one another and what their behavior meant. The beach ride was awesome and so were the pictures the guides took. We felt very safe! Use the restroom before you go there. Otherwise you will have to use a port o potty. read more

Incredible experience during sunset tour, friendly staff, calm Horses, well run facility. I specifically enjoyed the professional pictures that was taken in the middle of the tour. It made such a memorable souvenir. Would highly recommend read more

What a great little operation. The horses are great and you can tell most importantly they are well taken care of. The ride was nice and so great being by the beach. The guides were super courteous, helpful and patient with beginners. No matter your skill level, I think this is something all can enjoy. Tip: we were told that GPS would not get us there correctly and tried by going by their instructions which fit us lost. Use WAZE, it got us correctly to the location after the mishap. read more

The best ride we've ever experienced. This was our second return. The horses are so trained, so gentle although each one has its own personality. We truly feel confident and safe with our horses. We will come back over and over again each time we visit Corpus Christi. Huge thanks to our guide, Laura. you made everything possible and special for us especially celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary. read more

Great memories of riding horses on the beach with family and friends, from, everywhere.

My Daughter and I wanted to do something other than the beach one day so I looked for activities and came across Horses on the Beach. We had such an amazing time. The horses were in great condition and they had so many which eased my mind! This means they swap them out and don't tire them. The ride was beautiful and they even take pictures , which you can purchase for a small fee. The staff was super friendly and safety was first. We did the morning ride and will be coming back for the sunset!!!! Big shout out to the staff and my horse Cisco!! We made great memories before sending my Daughter off to college in a month! read more

YES! The answer is yes! Make this one of your stops on your vacation to Corpus Christi! You will not regret it one bit! Scheduling was easy, family of five of all ages! We chose an afternoon trip on horseback to the beach on the shores of the Gulf of Mexico. Sweet and funny Haleigh was our guide. She carefully selected each horse for each rider and they did not disappoint. Look, we know vacations are supposed to be fun and relaxing but sometimes cooped up in a hotel and adjusting to the nuances of a different state or city can be hectic but this.. even our teenagers said this was the highlight of their vacation. Arriving on time (after stopping to use public bathrooms first), this was an old fashioned, down home horseback riding dream. Up over the dunes straight out to the beach with the opportunity to unwind, watch locals sunbathe and fish on the shores. Each one of their horses fit our personalities and Haleigh was able to converse with us and guide us smoothly. We had great photos to take home with us and we plan on this being a regular ride for us when we move to the area next year. Fun for all ages. They even have a little petting zoo with a pig, goats, chickens, and a pony. Well worth the price, and we were told they even have sunset rides for those who maybe want something with a bit more solitude. Highly recommend this adventure while you're in town! Already back home and already miss my horse, Cash. Never ridden before, no worries. They have a horse for everyone! Hat tip to Horses on the beach! FYI- To any snobs who previously posted that staff should 'pick up after their animals'- those horses poo and pee is 100% more natural and biodegradable than the garbage you drink in your Starbucks or the makeup you slather on your face! It's nature, and if you have a problem with that, then horseback riding au natural is probably not for you! :-) read more

So awesome! Not bad for the price. Gorgeous horses, nice walk down the beach. The only thing that sucks and ruins the experience are the ladies who take forever to give you your horse and begin the actual ride. I got there at 3:20pm and didn't start the actually walk til 4:46 when my ride was scheduled for 4. Be prepared to wait. But once you get to the beach it's beautiful, so relaxing. But just know your legs and bottom will be on fire lol. You can also purchase a picture that a photographer takes on the beach afterwards. read more

My parents wanted to go horseback riding while spending the weekend in Corpus. We did the sunset tour and we had a great time. Hailey was one of the tour guides and she did an excellent job leading. We had four other guides but I cannot remember all of the names. Some things to know: caps must have a strap. They will offer you a landyard with two safety pins on the ends to attach to your cap and your shirt. They will ask you to give something of yours in return for the landyard. I gave my ring and got it back at the end of the tour. No selfie sticks. Go pros must be worn on your body. They have a fun little petting zoo you can look at to keep you occupied. Great ride and great fun. Plus you get ride in the water as well! read more

The horseback ride was beautiful and worth it. Our guide was an easygoing, friendly young man. Hope to do it again someday!

I had the best time. The guides were great and super friendly. My horse, Cupid, was a beautiful paint gelding. If you're in the area I definitely recommend booking the sunset beach ride, I would go every weekend if I lived in the area. The best part is that all of their horses are rescues, so every dime you spend is all for the horses. read more

What an amazing experience. We did sunset on the beach and it was more than we could have asked for. Both of us have minimal experience riding horses but they gave us all the support we needed to have a fun time. This is a must-go-to for Corpus Christi visitors. read more

This was a very cool experience! They let you pick your preferred horse personality (either spicy or chill). Though we have been riding a dozen of times, my friend and I both picked chill horses because we were not as experienced as some of the other riders in our group and our horses were great! The beach was really pretty. My only wish was that we could have separated from the group the tiniest bit instead of being together the whole time. But I would definitely go again! read more

I have experienced Horses On The Beach multiple times over the last several years or more with friends and family. We always have a great time. The horses are all usually very well behaved and easy to ride, even for beginners. Staff are always very courteous and friendly. The ride is like very few others that I have experienced as it's not very often you can have this type of experience with horses, being able to ride on the beach and even a little into thesurf. It's great fun! I definitely recommend and will likely keep returning in the future. read more

We had a group of 10 (5 kids and 5 adults). Between the guides, photographer, and sweet horses we had an amazing time! It was one of the best horseback riding companies we've rode with. Highly recommended!! read more

10/10!! i would highly recommend if you are wanting to try something new or if you love riding horses. i got blue duck and i was told he is the easiest one out of all of the horses. blue duck was really nice, he was listening, and whatnot. i highly recommend blue duck if you're terrified about being/getting on the horse. all of the instructors was really nice, funny, and helpful for tips and tricks. they knew how to calm my nerves. i also highly recommend wearing clothes and shoes that you do not care about getting dirty and/or getting poop or pee on. some of the horses will kick wherever they just pooped or peed and it can be kicked up at you(which happened to me lol) and you also go through a small little pond where there is poop in, so be careful of that lol. the ride was very enjoyable. on the beach (don't know if it's public or private) but there was a lady on the beach with family or friends topless the whole time we were on the beach.... and she showed us everything as well. so just be careful to possibly see that on the beach lol. they don't have any food for the horses or the animals in the petting zoo which i think they should because they'll definitely make more profit off of it. they had a deal for one picture and one shirt for $25 but most of the shirts were XL+ and i'm a small and my boyfriend is a medium/large... but other than that would definitely do this again!! read more

The horses and guides walked right in between my wife and I and the water. They horses proceeded to take a crap right in front of us, within 20 yards. they tour just continued. I spoke with the owner and he said "they should be going around." Then he proceeded to say 'he doesn't have anyone to clean up after the horses, and maybe we should choose a different part of the beach." I responded "its a public beach and if everyone is cleaning up after their dogs why are horses exempt from cleaning up after themselves?" Very unprofessional and does not provide a very sanitary environment for beach goes on N. Padre Island. Not sure how you can run a business and think it is ok for an animal to crap on the beach and just leave it. read more

I paid over $300 for myself and my 4 children to have an hour long ride on the beach. Our group was HUGE and it took over 20 minutes to get everyone on their ride. We were told to slow down MANY times to let everyone catch up. There was no opportunity to ride any faster than a walk. There was a young girl who was scared frequently but the guides just yelled at anyone near her if the horses bothered her. I would think having a guide stay nearby and offer positive suggestions would be a better response in this situation. I also would have appreciated the opportunity to run a little. The location is gorgeous and the best part. You have to wait during the ride to have everyone's photo taken, this should have been before or after and not during your hour ride, especially with a group this large (I don't know why they didn't split into two rides). read more

We had a wonderful time! Thank you to our guides who did such a good job. We will for sure be visiting again.
