I have been here twice and agree with the two previous reviewers. The horses do not appear to be properly cared for and can be difficult to control, the required guide was not friendly or helpful and did not speak English, and the ride was shorter than I paid for. The first time my daughter and I went on the... more

We went to the ranch this weekend and for the most part it was okay. I’m not a picky guy, but I have some good and bad things to say about this place. We get there around 12:00 and as soon as we get to the area to check in and pay, we are immediately told that my girlfriend cannot... more

I just returned from my experience at Seah Horse Ranch, and I can tell you that I am totaly disgusted and heart broken at the way these horses are living. I understand that muddy water makes dirty horses, but the condition that these horses were in literealy brought me to tears. These animals were dead tired, and clearly were having... more

We just got back from Sea Horse Ranch. When we got there the staff took the time to find out about our experience, so they could pair us with appropriate horses. Once the horses had been untied and bridled, the staff helped the whole group get on their horses, and adjust their stirrups to the right lenght. All the horses... more

The good part of this attraction is that you can just show up and decide if you want a trail, beach, or trail and beach ride...they have plenty of horses and guides. I was asked if I wanted to go with a group of girls who were celebrating their 18th birthday or not...it was up to me, which was very... more

I just returned from Sea Horse Ranch. I had 2 young nieces visiting who wanted to ride horses along the beach. We went early and did the 2-hour early bird special which included a trail ride and beach ride for $35, a pretty respectable price in my opinion. First off, no, the horses aren't of the highest quality, but you... more

We just got back from the Sea horse and friendly acres ranch where we had a great time. After I booked it I read the reviews on this sight and was not really looking forward to going. I am so glad I did. We took a very large group (19 kids and 12 adults) and not one person had a... more

There were too many horses to be cared for properly and the stables looked more like a shanty town in a third world country. The employees were very rude and did not have a record of our reservation. In fact, they'd never even heard of signature days, the company through which we made reservations. Our 'guide' spent the entire ride... more

My husband and I have been to Sea horse ranch 3 times. I understand this isn't for everyone as this ranch isn't in the best condition and does appear to be somewhat 'dumpy'. However we haven't noticed the horses unhealthy or mistreated in any way. The appearence of the ranch shouldn't make people think the animals aren't taken care of.... more

My ten year old daughter and I had a wonderful experience riding horses here together. It was her first trail ride, so she was a little nervous and I was worried and hoping that it would be a good experience for her. I selected the hour and a half ride, because I've always wanted to ride on a beach. We... more
