Sounds of the sea cascading along the shoreline provide the quintessential musical backdrop for both unfettered exhilaration and blissful tranquility. We were the first horseback riding company in the Cayman Islands to offer horseback swimming and all of our horses are all highly experienced top-notch swimmers who absolutely love a cool dip in the ocean after a warm beach ride.
Ride the shore. Swim the sea. Our expansive beach trails wind through Grand Cayman's most scenic unspoiled coastline and the protected wilderness of Barker's National Park. The sounds of the sea provide the perfect soundtrack as you ride at your own pace — from relaxed walks to spirited trots along the water's edge, with nothing between you and the open Caribbean horizon.
We were the first horseback riding company in the Cayman Islands to offer true deep-water horseback swimming. Our horses are highly experienced, confident swimmers who absolutely love a cool dip in the ocean after a warm beach ride — and their joy is completely contagious.
Every ride is guided by our expert team, matched to your ability level, and tailored to make your Grand Cayman experience truly unforgettable.
At check-in, our expert guides speak with every guest to assess their riding ability and preferences. Beginners receive full instruction and supervision. Advanced riders gain more freedom to canter along the shoreline.
All of our horses are friendly and tame, each with their own unique personality. Pairing riders with the right horse is our priority — ensuring every experience is catered exactly to you. At Pampered Ponies, it is all about you.

"Pampered Ponies has beautiful, healthy, well trained, and well cared for horses. To feel so at one with my horse galloping on this beautiful beach is a day I will never forget. I highly recommend the swim/ride — riding bareback as your horse swims was an unforgettable experience."
"Jay and George were the most incredible guides. My wife was made to feel so confident and comfortable. They were truly legendary when it came to information about the Caymans and ensuring we had the most amazing time."
"Our daughter is a Make-A-Wish child. Lori the owner invited our family for a fun-filled morning riding her beautiful horses on the beach. A wonderful experience for the entire family — a must-do while visiting Grand Cayman."
"We did the 2-hour ride and swim. We had five in our family and two guides. The horses were gentle and well cared for — great for beginning riders. Even my teenage boys who weren't thrilled ended up absolutely loving it."
"Wonderful attraction in Grand Cayman — great time with great guides who took the time to converse and laugh, not just put in their time. A++++++++"
"This was our 2nd visit to Pampered Ponies. Great pick-up service from local hotels and condos, beautiful views with attentive staff. Bring a water-resistant camera — you can go swimming with the horses!"
"I did my research before booking and so pleased with Pampered Ponies. We were a group of 3 and we all had an amazing experience — one never to be forgotten!"
Excellent riding experience and staff. Beautiful horses. Must do for people who love horses. We had a 2 hour swim ride. Couldn't have been more perfect.
I recently had an amazing experience with Pampered Ponies. From the start, the service was phenomenal. Jay, who picked us up from our hotel, was incredibly thoughtful and helpful — you can see how much he loves what he does. He even arranged fresh coconuts for my boyfriend to try coconut water for the first time, and they didn't even charge extra. The horses were well taken care of and super friendly. They even accommodated my boyfriend who is 6'4" and 220 pounds. Overall a 10 out of 10 — thoughtful, grand, and definitely worth it.
My husband and I had never ridden a horse, but it didn't matter. These horses were so well trained we picked it up immediately. The guides were awesome and kept things running smoothly. Probably my favorite part of this vacation and coolest experience of my life to swim with the horses. 10/10 recommend!!
Great experience riding a horse in the water. We took the morning tour and staff were friendly and professional. We had complimentary pick up and drop off from our hotel. No experience with riding horses but the learning curve was easy enough. Highly recommend!
Awesome team and service — best on the island. Shuttle pick up, efficient service, friendly team and horses! 5 star service from Ranaldo, George, Bingy, Jaya, and Lorraine. They all deserve raises!
Visited this past week and the experience was beautiful! The staff was very knowledgeable and kind. The atmosphere felt like home and the horses were so well trained and looked after. You can really feel the love the second you step foot on the property! Would love to visit again!!
