Bradenton: Beach Horseback Riding and Ocean Swim

The Bradenton shoreline gives this outing a different rhythm, as time on the beach leads into a guided experience in the water with your horse. You begin by meeting the horse and preparing for the ride, with a safety briefing and swimming instructions before the activity gets underway.

Allow 90 minutes altogether, including preparation; the horseback experience in the water lasts approximately one hour. An English-speaking guide accompanies a small group of up to eight, with the horse, lightweight waterproof saddle and bridle included.

Riders must be at least ten, able to swim and weigh no more than 127 kg. The activity is unsuitable during pregnancy or for people with back problems or mobility impairments. Meet at 316 81st St W, Bradenton, FL 34209; the meeting arrangements and conditions for your date are confirmed before booking. Wildlife may be seen along the coast, although sightings are never guaranteed.
