World famous Siesta Key beach is about 45 mins away from Off Anna Maria. In our opinion, Anna Maria beaches are better :) but it’s definitely something to visit if you have time!

Rated #1 Outdoor Activity in Bradenton by TripAdvisor! This is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that lets you experience horseback riding just five minutes from Off Anna Maria. Begin your excursion by meeting the beautiful, amazing horses. 95% of these horses are rescues!
Within minutes you’ll fall in love with this rare breed. Keep an eye out for wildlife, as it’s common to see manatees, stingrays, and dolphins swimming by. Palma Sola Bay is a natural breeding ground for our manatees! Enjoy the beautiful bay views as you ride with your gentle companion. Ask your guide about your horse’s story. You may even shed a tear when you hear some of the horrible conditions our horses came from.
After a brief swimming lesson, our horses will swim while you ride them. The horses are never forced to swim; this is actually their favorite part! So grab hold of their manes and hang on tight! This almost feels like you’re flying through the air.
There is no hard impact or bouncing as the horses’ feet do not touch the ground while they swim (if conditions are right, and the temperature is above 60 degrees). Your mounted guide navigates the tides and shares information about our native sea life and our rescue horses. They also take pictures that can be purchased on the day of your ride and even downloaded right to your phone.
