No problem, he'll get you taken care of.

Eden, I understand where you are coming from but please try not to compare them to thoroughbred show horses, you just can't. Like Tcross said....

My daughters would like to ride while we're in Negril and the only horseback riding I'm aware of is through Chukka Tours and it's $85 per person for 3.5 hours and you do take a ride in the sea.
Does anyone have any information regarding Chukka's riding tour? Where is it? How long to get there? What to bring, etc?

If the GW Ranch is less expensive, we'd consider doing that tour, but if they don't answer their phone, then obviously we won't be able to go!
Thanks!

Dawn I can get you in touch with them if you're interested.

I dont have personal exp. with Chukka, but I do know that it's a big tour company so you will probably go out with a large group. I would recommend CW to anyone but especially if your girls are riders as they will let you go at your own pace, and offer a more "customized" experience IMO. Rudy is a sweetheart and a great guide. Wade makes you feel so at home, like fam. Basically you ride the trail down to the beach where you will have a chance to hang out under a pavillion. They put bareback pads on the horses and then take you way out into the water so that the horses can swim. I have some good pics and a review of our ride in my trip report from last summer....I'll just post the link in case you wanna check it out...

Ya, Tizzy...please PM me if you can and let me know what I can do to hook up with Wade.
Just a little FYI though...mommy (me) is an experienced former barrel racer/rider, but daughters aren't so experienced-in fact, daughter who is 15 has only ridden once and it wasn't good! LOL-but she still wants to go-bless her heart! Oh, and I won't mention the jellyfish stings! Yikes!
I've been stung before but my girls haven't (yet?) so mums the word!
Nice report, by the way...and lovely photo of Alfred-such a tragic earthly end to a wonderful and sweet man.
I thank you for doing that girl! Very sweet of you...
