Horseback Riding in St Martin

[Cruzntime]

Does anyone know if Bayside Riding Club is still open in St. Martin? If so, is this still the "go-to" place for horseback riding?

We used this company:

Had a really nice 2 hour ride, and then a quick swim in the ocean (with horses) to cool off at the end. I would do it again.

Does it take long to get to the stables? Are the horses well taken care of?? I swam with horses in Jamaci and loved it! Thought I might try lucky stables in March!

I honestly don't know, another cruiser would be better to ask for this. The time I did this, I flew into the island, it was not a cruise. I don't remember it being far from the cruise port, but can't say for sure.

I have reservations with them for our cruise in 3 weeks, I'll let you know the condition of the horses. According to their webstie expect about a 30 min ride from the port. Doesn't seem to be too far from the port using Google Earth, but traffic seems to be the big factor on the island.

Oh yes-- I forgot to answer the part about the horses. It was very apparent to me that they are well cared for. They actually limit bookings in order to not overwork the horses, which was also a good sign to me. I had no complaints, nor saw any signs of mishandling or neglect while I was there.

Thanks so much, I used to raise quarter horses and just love ALL horses! The pictures look like the horses are having fun too! I think I am going to book! Thanks everyone, and I would love to hear how your ride goes in the next 3 weeks! Have fun!

But is Bayside still open? There website has been down for some time. They are (were) closer to the area where we'll be, but I can't find any info about reservations.

Is it $30 per person for the taxi to and from the stables? Seems kind of high!!

I have a rental car reserved, so not sure. There is a website somewhere that lists taxi rates for the island. Seemed cheaper to rent a car then get a taxi if you wanted to do a little site seeing around the island.
