We went to Horse World in Poinciana, about 10 minutes drive from Kissimmee, last year. Very good for all levels. Great guides and trails.

The american style of riding is very differernt to ours so it maybe better for you if you are a novice. The trails are very easy to ride. The horses are very docile for beginners. A guide goes out with you and lead the way your horse follows at a comfortable distance.

I'd never ridden a horse and neither had my five year olds. But it was tailored for us and the horse selected to suit too.

We had a great time, very relaxed and care free way to spend an afternoon.

I have lost my thread that I started about horse riding in Orlando. I am def going to do it. I'm booking in September too! I can't decide if I should book Horseworld or this one:

It does look posh but really good. Prices aren't all that different.

I couldn't get to a stables but I can now that my parents have booked to go the same time as us. Now I can go without a huge taxi fare.

I grant you that the Grand Cypress looks very nice indeed. Having read all of the instructors qualifications none of them hold anything more than the BHS Assistant Instructors Certificate (which i hold myself). If its classical seat riding you want as opposed to 'western style' you can get private lessons in England with higher qualified instructors for less than £50 per hour!! (G/Cypress charge $100 per hour/lesson)
I looked at Horseworld last time we were in florida but never actually got to go, i have been reserching this as i definately want to take my daughter this year and floridaeco-safaris/adventure.horseback (google search!) will be getting my vote!.
We want to experience American style riding, as they say 'when in Rome, do as the Romans!. My dad and i are also going on the 2 day/1 night horseback safari!!, thats 3 hours riding each day, 3 meals and camping out/bunk house accomodation over night and includes some 'rounding up' all for $199 !, sounds like a deal to me!..

I have been looking at both the riding options and as I can't go on the safari one due to my 2 small children & allergic partner! I will be booking the Horseworld advanced trail. This will be the highlight of my hols. Apart from seeing my children's faces when they see Mickey mouse & Scooby Doo!
