Hooves Ltd, found in the parish of St Ann. Hooves has taken the concept of horseback riding one step further, by offering fully guided tours on horseback, visiting historical sites, such as Maima/Seville where the horse was first introduced to the island, into tropical rainforests and around spectacular mountaintops. Hooves allows their riders to enjoy the beauty of the spectacular scenery whilst learning about the multifaceted culture of the island. They also work with the rehabilitation of ex-racehorses, many of whom had been abused before coming into their care. These horses also make excellent candidates for their Equine Assisted Psychotherapy programme, which has recently been introduced to the island. Horses have an innate way of mirroring the feelings and behavior traits of those working with them and as such are used in experiential therapy to help patients discover themselves.
