OUR COMMITMENT
We attach great importance to the well-being of our horses, treating them with love and affection. As a result, they are very trusting and sensitive, and cuddles are always welcomed. Our team includes two specialized veterinarians, each an expert in different aspects of equine health. All our horses are regularly dewormed, vaccinated, and under constant veterinary supervision. This level of comprehensive care guarantees their health and happiness, fostering a harmonious environment that benefits both horses and riders.
In addition to our health care regimen, we adhere to a strict policy of limiting each horse to three rides per day. We also rotate the horses we use daily, providing them with ample resting time. This approach not only ensures the well-being of our horses but also maintains their calm demeanor. They are gentle and suitable for beginners, yet still offer an enjoyable experience for more intermediate riders who wish to trot freely along the shores.
The rest of our team consists of two professional horsemanship trainers, and 17 skilled guides and stablehands, all dedicated to providing the best care and experience. Each member of our team is highly trained and experienced in their respective fields. We are deeply committed to supporting local employment and empowering Tanzanian people, ensuring we contribute positively to the local community.
Our guides are more than happy to assist you with riding tips and helpful advice. At our stable, your safety is our top priority. We strive to make each ride not only enjoyable but also safe and memorable. To ensure your protection, we provide safety helmets to all our guests. To further enhance your riding experience, we exclusively use the best hand-crafted saddles and tack. This meticulous attention to detail ensures the utmost comfort and safety for both the horse and the rider.
