I'm considering booking a ride with them. My partner is a horse nut and I know that riding on a tropical beach would be a dream come true, but it's not unconditional. It's very important to her (and me) that the animals are well treated and cared for. Are the horses at Francis Family Farm happy horses?

I know people that enjoy the ride. Personally, I don't know much about horse care so I can't speak to that.

I believe Kenny rescued some of those horses - retired racers. I think they are well cared for. He lives near Cow Wreck so we often see his guests riding along the beach near Cow Wreck as well as the trail through the bush that leads back to his place.

Well, I ended up going way down a rabbit hole. Kenny Francis is quite a character. I'll be staying far away from him and his businesses. On top of the one I posted above, a lot can be gleaned from the these articles and their comments:
