As an avid rider who leases a horse, I have mixed feelings about this adventure. I ride a taller horse because of my weight 165 pounds. My weight and experience weren’t asked about ???? 1st concern. The horse are well cared for, the Bali police board their horse at the stable (that says a lot ????????) I found it difficult to trot with my horse because she was too short for me (2nd ???? flag). It was an experience to go on the beach, yes but it wasn’t the experience I really had hoped for because any barn that has a lesson program or trail riding asks these questions so they can match you with the right horse, experience to help make this what you want to remember. Horses in Bali are considered sacred, I think they missed that in this. One last note to share with you, I had given my driver monies to go to town while I was riding to get carrots for all the horses. When I returned I shared to share with them, but when it was time to share with my horse Engine, she was already gone on another ride (maybe 12 mins had passed) and remember Bali is 85 degrees. Just some notes for my fellow equestrian friends out there to take note of.
