Enjoy a combination nature tour of Rain Forest and beach on horseback. No experience necessary. Families welcome. Riders of every skill level are accommodated. With over 35 years of experience, Jill, owner/ guide, matches horses to riders of all experience levels. Most rides are of mixed experiences. Families with kids go at a slow walk/ trot pace, while seniors may prefer a snails pace. Those with more experience under 200 lbs., please give several days’ notice for a more active ride. Helmets are available, but not mandatory.
Ride through shady rain forest trails to “Cowboy Beach” for a beautiful picture stop with a background of tall palms, sand, and crystal clear sea. Jill will take pictures of each group using your own camera. Then fulfill your fantasy of a ride along the white sand beach as you admire the different shades of aqua, turquoise and sapphire blue sea. Pass historic sugar plantation ruins over grown by the brush and an African Baobab tree . Other interesting trees on the tour are giant Rain Trees whose leaves fold up at night, the “Tourist” tree with red peeling skin bark, a Kapok Tree from which “silk cotton” was used for stuffing life jackets, and several Strangler Fig trees that killed their host tree, the best one of which is nick-named “The Avatar Tree”. The ride takes 1 ½ hours in the saddle but allow an extra half hour for check in and afterwards for a sample of complimentary refreshment of Tamarind, Guava, & Passion fruit juice. Located 1 ½
miles north of Frederiksted just off Rt. 63 North on Rt.58, Creque Dam Rain
Forest Rd., at #2 Estate Sprat Hall.
