Cape Town has a few great spots to go for a horse ride if the mood takes you.
The two places I know are great are Noordhoek beach and Milnerton Equestrian School.
There are a few operators in Noordhoek village and they will take you on a glorious ride down kilometres of pristine beach at whatever pace you like. What I like about his is that on the beach there is no grass for the horsie to stop and eat. I am not an experienced rider, horsies know this and immediately reckon it’s lunch time.
Milnerton equestrian school is conveniently central (next to killarney race track), but as soon as you are there, you are whisked away to a distant, country scene. Manure plays a big part in that also.
They have a great selection of horses including some ex-racehorses, for the more adventurous suicidal. Out rides can be a bit short here, because the young guides seem to be more interested in polishing their crop’s or whatever, so make sure you get your monies worth or you will end up with a glorified pony ride.
Expect to pay between R100 and R150 ($15-$20) per person for an out ride and take a few carrots for currency.

Hi there everyone,just want to sort things out with the Milnerton Equestrian School issue…
I own half of milnerton equestrian school and I can tell you right now that we enjoy the children that come to us and the work that we do!
Our horses are all trained and not ex-racehorses, we only have two thoroughbreds but they came off the track about 12 years ago and they our old one’s in the barn, so trust me they wont be going anywhere very fast!!!
And if anyone has a problem about anything at Milnerton Equestrian school we would like to please hear from you.
If you want to come have a look you are more welcome to…
Kind Regards

I have always dreamed of going to South Africa and explore Cape Town. Some of my friends who already visited the country also said that I should really check out the horse riding services at Noordhoek beach.
