Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

As an inexperienced rider, I particularly appreciated the care Kuriakos, our guide, took in choosing the appropriate horse for each one in the group, including a child and the tips he gave us before leaving for the ride.
At one point on the ride, one of the horses refused to go on and our guide handled the situation very quickly and calmly with the horse.
It is obvious that this person loves his horses and takes great care of them.
I highly recommend this friendly local organization.

Responded very promptly. Horses were responsive and seemed well cared for. Nice one hour ride to the beach and as experienced riders we were able to have a trot and and a canter en route to the beach but unfortunately not on the beach itself. Had planned on taking another, different ride but unfortunately was cancelled and they didn't rearrange.

Had a one hour ride last night at sunset. Then, we went into the Agean with the horse. We will never forget this magical experience. It was a once in a lifetime memory making moment. We LOVED it.

These horses aren’t cared for , I was asked to ride a pony when I explained I was an experienced rider . These beautiful horses aren’t cared for by an experienced equine person. The lead guy takes about how crazy his horse was the whole way . So inappropriate
His horse is fine, he simply doesn’t know how to handle the poor boy .
Horses hooves need serious attention , the whole experience made me sad so I left early . Dangerous , unprofessional and devastated for the horses
Don’t do it . Any response by these owners will be a defence tactic
We saw a foal and horse in open land eating bamboo because they are hungry .
Feed your horses !!!!!!!! So very sad and horrid

We had a great experience and would highly recommend this to anyone. We loved being able to walk onto the beach and into the water. The guide made us feel very comfortable and made sure that we felt safe. 10/10

My adult daughters & I spent a wonderful couple of hours riding. The horses were gorgeous, the ride was incredibly beautiful, especially along the beach. The host was really lovely. Would definitely do this again if I go back to Naxos

Linda’s ride outs over the beaches and through the idyllic pathways between farms was a highlight of my Naxos holiday.

Not worth the money. The horses were not very well behaved and my one bucked me off. If you can horse ride you might like it and we had bad weather so they might have been why the horses were acting up

Went for a “beach ride” and were only on the beach for ten minutes out of 2 hours. Most of the ride is on a dirt road between large bamboo stalks. Horses not well trained and staff also seemed a little naive. A poor woman got tossed off because her horse dropped to roll around in the sand. The same had happened to the man behind me, almost causing another accident. The horse my mother was on got “excited” when the line stopped during our short time on the beach and started bucking around in crazed circles, knocking my mother to the side and forcing her to jump off resulting in swollen ankle and huge nasty bruises and scrapes. She received no consolation and very little help from the staff. She was even asked to get back on the same horse and rightfully refused. Owner actually tried to downplay the whole thing- 3 out of 11 riders were thrown off!

I see that your initials are MB which are the initials of the mother NOT the initials of the daughter which are AB and is 12 years old. It's a shame that you feel the need to write the review in the guise of your 12 year old daughter.
Firstly the staff that were with you have been doing this for 5 years or more so definitely not naive.
Secondly as you stated you are a beginner I find it hard to believe you would know how a well trained horse behaves. . They are sentient beings and can occasionally be scared which is what happened.
Thirdly you were collected and taken back to the ranch where you were offered medical treatment. You stated that you were fine to the staff with you and again back at the ranch.
Also the tours are on the beach for about 30 minutes. We advertise riding through bamboo roads to the beach and do not specify the amount of time on the beach.
