What riders say about Bradenton stables

Cponies Beach Horseback Rides

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What an unforgettable experience! This was our first time ever riding horseback through the water, and it was truly one of the highlights of our trip. My daughter, Calli, rode Gypsy, and I rode Skittles. We loved that they were a momma-and-daughter pair, and we were matched perfectly with our horses.

★★★★★ Cindy, Jul 2026

Florida Beach Horses

This was truly one of the most incredible experiences I’ve ever had! Horseback riding on the beach at sunset was actually the #1 thing I wanted to do for my birthday, and I’m so glad they happened to have an opening for me and my partner.

★★★★★ Skyla, Sep 2026

Sarasota Manatee Association for Riding Therapy, Inc., dba SMART with HEART

Amazing organization! Extremely loving people and horses! 🐎 I went through their Veteran equine therapy program and left a happier and better person. Learning that trust and confidence is the only way to move a 2k lb animal is a great lesson to learn and a wonderful practice to incorporate into regular life.
