      If you look a horse in the face for a minute there’s a High possibility that you’d never ride the horse, they look so sad

    I have been horse riding a couple times. My last time, probably 30 years ago lol, I was on Mackinac Island (no gas power vehicles allowed). My friend and I rented horses. She was much more experienced than I. We got our horses and they sent us out. We made it at the most 100ft down the road and my horse turned right back around and headed back to the stables. They looked at me like I was crazy! They sent me back out. Well this same thing happened 2 more times. So the owner decided to have someone jump on another horse and ride out with me. We got to the same turn around spot and that person grabbed a WHIP! AND WHACK! That horse was in full run. My hat flew off. My sunglasses flew off and I think everyone on that island probably heard me scream.

    Now I just left Roatan on the carnival. We did a tour it wasn’t good at all, literally 30 mins around the poorest part I say that in the most humbly way. $45 for nothing. I’ll make sure next time to book with the cruise ship

    I have gone horseback riding in the Caribbean about 5 or 6 years ago. I’ve also gone on NY ranches vacations at least 10 times over the years. Was Royal Caribbean’s President on your ride? I know from experience, one time was enough, that it’s not a good idea to wear shorts horseback riding. I know that you said that it was a surprise activity. Also, in case people don’t know (but you do) you’re not allowed to take pictures while you’re on a horse. You made that decision so that you would be able to film the excursion.

    • @ermideraymond5490
      @ermideraymond5490 10 місяців тому +1

      I agree @nancypoevaznik about not wearing short while horseback riding. Back in 2019, for my honeymoon I’ve gone horseback riding in Puerto Rico wearing short into the forest 2 hours riding . Let me tell you, i has bugs and mosquitoes bit my inner thigh leading me to have cellulites ( skin infection). If i had known, i would have worn a cover up or a pant not to have my skin exposed. Also, after riding for 2 hours, I developed moderate back pain. Overall, the experience of horseback riding was fun experience if you’re a first time; at the same time i had a bad health outcome from it.

    Looks like you enjoyed most of your trip and what you did not enjoy was mostly your fault! Hopefully you will reconsider the tittle for your videas as it doesnt really capture the essence of your trip and might be misleading to people considering Roatan as a destination.

    Boat people is part of why Roata. Isn't like it use to be. The locals dint benefit from the cruise ships. They only let you see what they want you to. I have been going here since 91 and what was a paradise island has been raped by opportunist who could care less about the economics, the locals, or the ecosystem of this island. As i said.... cruise ship boat people...
