Cponies Beach Horseback Rides

Most of the horses here started out neglected or abused; the owner, a fourth-generation trainer, rehabilitates each one for eight weeks to four months before it carries a rider. Rides head into Palma Sola Bay, where dolphins, manatees, and rays often surface, and end with the horse swimming while you hold its mane.

Choose the Sunset Platinum Excursion for golden-hour light over Palma Sola Bay; availability is limited, so book ahead.

Ask for a morning slot in summer — Florida heat and afternoon storms roll in fast along Manatee Avenue West.
