We had a such a great time on our morning horse ride. I was so nervous as a beginner but Andrew was very thorough and puts safety first.Andrew makes sure everyone is comfortable, gives thorough and clear instructions and matched us all perfectly to our horses based on experience. My nerves soon went away knowing I was in great hands and I enjoyed the ride. It was such a beautiful morning that we will never forget. Andrew and all the staff were very friendly, knowledgeable and took great care of our group. We had so much fun and highly recommend Rainbow Beach horse Rides. We will return again one day. Thanks again to everyone at Rainbow Beach Horse Rides. You all made us feel so welcomed & safe at all times. We had the best time.We will be back!
