Wild Coast Sun Horse Riding
Please people Do Not go to Wild Coast Sun for Horseriding on the beach. Have already posted this insident and still waiting for Sun International to contact me. My husband tore one of his quad muscles in his upper leg when he fell off a horse. The equipment was pathetic. The first time he fell was because the stirrup broke off which caused him to fall on his head. They then gave him the same horse again, but the horse was afraid of water (remember this is horserides on the beach) and the horse went into a full run and stopped dead when it came near the water and threw him off hard, which resulted in his muscles being torn. When I wanted to ride back alone with my horse it was said that I cannot ride alone because the horse is too wild. The 2 horses were also not allowed together because they would jump. Communication was difficult but finally they went back to fetch my husband and when he tried to get onto the horse the saddle moved completely to the side he was trying to get on to which resulted in another fall. So not only is the equipment low standard, but the horses are wild and afraid of water and the person who takes you out cannot even speak proper English. We already had medical exoenses and the next step is a surgical procedure to attach the muscle again. Already incured a lot of medical expenses and still no word from Sun International. They said 2 months ago that they would respond, but nothing further. I am now considering a civil claim. The equipment and horses guide should have been up to standard, which it was not.
