Highlights
This is a once in a lifetime adventure. No need to decide between a chill ride or a thrill ride because with Cponies you get both in each ride! Your mounted guide will take you out into the bay, carefully navigating the correct course. Keep your eyes open for manatees, stingrays, and dolphins to swim by. Enjoy the view of the bay. Feeling adventurous? Try your hand at becoming a circus performer. Our guides will show you some cool things to try and will make sure they get pictures of your achievements. Now the thrilling portion of the ride. GRAB THE MANE AND DROP THE REINS! This will include several swims on your horseback to shore. Don't be nervous, the swims may be fast but are very smooth, it's like flying your horse through the bay.
We do not believe in a one ride fits all. We will cater your ride to fit your equestrian skills. From the first time rider to the accomplished equestrian, we can offer the perfect ride just for you.
