      We were greeted by a friendly young girl helping out on the farm and several sweet rescued dogs. Paul & Jill were very kind and made sure everyone was matched up with the right horse for their skill level. The ride was casual and fun, with lots of stories and educational facts from Jill. We learned a lot about the flora & fauna on the island and saw the most amazing trees, straight out of a fairy tale! You get to see a lot of fascinating native trees in the rainforest that you won't see out in the open on the island. You will also see some ruins and get a bit of history from Jill. The ride down to the beach was relaxed with lots to look at and snap pictures of. We went on the afternoon ride, which gave us some beautiful photos on the beach. Jill knows just the right way to set up your photos and takes several so that you are bound to get some winners. She also stops the ride under one of the more picturesque trees to take some photos of your group. As we are experienced riders, we got to do some cantering on the way back, which was quite fun and a good end to the ride. Overall, the ride was very relaxing and enjoyable, a great family experience. The horses are sweet and well taken care of and Paul and Jill are devoted to all of their rescued pets. Paul & Jill's laid back personalities make it a friendly, casual experience.

      We have been on many trail rides throughout the Caribbean and beyond. We can say hands down that Paul and Jill's stable is one of if not the best. Unlike many facilities the horses are well cared for and it is obvious the owners love their equine pets and know what they are doing. The ride was 1 1/2 hours through rain forest, past plantation ruins and on the beach. Jill, our guide, entertained us with stories and impressed us with her knowledge of the native flora and fauna and island history. I would highly recommend Paul and Jill's to anyone visiting the island.

      Paul & Jill are very friendly and welcoming. The horses are gentle and well-trained. The ride through the rainforest, old ruins, and beach was amazing. It's was a unique experience and Jill made it even better with her knowledge of the area, flora, and fauna. We even found a few passion fruits along the trail that she picked up and saved for us for when we got back! We had never had fresh passion fruit before and she showed us how to eat it. Very cool!! This tour is a must-do for anyone visiting.

      The horses are very well trained and gentle. It think it cost about $99.00 per person. You travel single file through fantastic scenery and finally a short walk on the beach where they will stop and take photos of you and your party on horseback. It is slow paces and worth the effort to get to Frederiksted. On the trip back from the stables, stop off at Rhythms Bar & Grill at Rainbow Beach and have a Painkiller. It's a delicious cocktail and enjoy the view. This probably is not good for kids under 12 years of age.

      My mother and I chose Paul & Jills after reading reviews and doing our research. There are a few other options on the island but I am happy with our choice. Jill was extremely friendly and very knowledgeable. We were able to canter on the beach which was fantastic! I rode Sushi (an ex-race horse) and he was so sweet and kind. We both felt very comfortable on our ride and Jill made a great guide. She pointed out many exotic plants and trees throughout the ride. We ventured through the rain forest and to the beach. Being experienced riders, it was nice to have some freedom to canter on safe horses!

      I am so happy I read all of your wonderful reviews about Paul & Jill's Stable and booked this amazing horseback ride for my family. Not only do they accommodate all levels of riding, but my 3.5 year old daughter was able to join us on the ride too, sitting in front of my husband! I have never found a stable that would allow for such a young rider and my daughter still talks about her horseback ride adventure every day! My older daughter and I were able to canter on the beach (Sushi - you are an amazing horse!) and my husband, who has no riding experience, was able to easily hold back Mr. McGregor and then catch up with us later. The horses are so well trained and it was amazing to experience this as a family (rather than my husband and younger daughter having to miss out). Paul and Jill are so friendly, so knowledgable, and everything about it was amazing. I highly recommend you try Paul and Jill's, you won't be disappointed!

      As an advanced rider, it is really a challenge to find places that will let you do more than just walking on a trail ride. I called Paul and Jill's before coming to ensure that I could run around and handle a less than bombproof horse, and they went ABOVE AND BEYOND. I rode Sushi (ex-racer thoroughbred) who was calm, yet brave enough to go ahead of the pack. On top of seeing a beautiful rain forest and beach, I got to CANTER and GALLOP around meadows and paths while still on a ride with my family of novice riders. It was absolutely wonderful. Sushi was great too because he knew exactly where he was at all times and absolutely loved running. Note: This is the only stables on the island that will let you go faster than a walk! Novice and beginner riders get to trot if they want to. Intermediate and Advanced riders get to Canter and Gallop (depends on how fast your horse and you want to go).So if you are going to Saint Croix and want to see the island from the back of a horse, book with Paul and Jill without any hesitation!

      We went with our 12 year old son who had never ridden before, and this was the best place we could have chosen. We had old, gentle horses that know the way through incredibly beautiful rain forests and along a magnificent beach. Jill knows her botany and local history and gives you a non-stop description of what you're seeing as you ride through the forest, past former slave quarters on an abandoned sugar plantation, through overgrown cow meadows and onto the beach on the west coast of St. Croix. A complete delight.

      My family and I came to the island on the Royal Caribbean Jewel of the Sea. We were hesitant to try this, because it wasn't an excursion that the cruise had. I am to this day trying to figure out why they don't have this. It was one of the best experiences of my life. Jill was great! I felt like "her home was my home." She was great by scheduling us around the time out cruise came and left, and even gave us hats to cool us down. She has a wonderful rainforest that led to the ocean, and I never thought I would get to experience something like this in my whole life. Our pictures that we took looked like they were from a book. This was once and a life time. You are CRAZY not to go here. I wish I could do it all over again. Money well spent! This should be the #1 activity in St.Croix.

      Paul and Jill were wonderful hosts and guides. Our group consisted of 2 adults and 1 teenager. Jill provided all of the details on the phone when we called to book from our cruise ship the night before. This excursion is cash only so make sure to hit the ATM machine before you arrive. My daughter enjoyed visiting with the rescue dogs while Paul saddled up our horses. Water bottles were provided for each guest and they came in handy. Jill took photos of us with our horses on the beach. Everyone had a great time and would go on this excursion again!
