July 2008 Booked the first trip through the hotel rep. The horses are matched to riders ability. Rode western style (very easy way to ride even for beginers) through little villages, rivers, mountain forest and sugar cane fields. Stopped off for drinks and a merengue dance with the guides! Horses are well looked after thanks to Gabriella the owner. We... more

Date 22nd July 2008. On visiting the Dominican Republic for the 4th time (we love it), we made 2 more trips up to the Lorilar Ranch. They were thoroughly enjoyable experiences and yet both completely different. We made the bookings through June at the hotel who always reminds you to take a banana as a well earned treat for your... more

I spent 2 weeks in November and went riding several times and loved it so much that I went back again in February for 2 weeks and spent most of my days on horseback at the ranch. The weather, of course , was great and the horses were great. I think anyone would enjoy the day ride through the countryside... more

I am a fairly confident rider however was a bit apprehensive to start with as there is riders & non riders on the ride although i was glad to be riding with my partner who had never been on a horse... more

Really enjoyed this excursion, you get to ride through the beautiful Dominican mountains and countryside. The horses were friendly and well looked after and as an experienced rider there was plenty of opportunity for a good gallop, however I found it slightly concerning that those who had never ridden before were also allowed to canter/gallop! Otherwise was fab, take some... more
