What Our Riders Say
Don't just take our word for it, hear from the riders who have experienced the magic of GallopGo Stables
The view of the open plains, the sound of the hooves pounding the ground, and the energy of the riders were breathtaking. I even got a short training session before the race, and though I wasn’t competing, the thrill was indescribable. The horses were majestic and well taken care of, and the staff explained everything about their care, speed, and race preparation.
I captured some amazing moments on video (which I’ve shared here!) — the laughter, excitement, and that beautiful Naivasha sunset in the background made it magical.
If you ever visit Kenya, don’t leave without experiencing a horse race at GallopGo. It’s not just about the race; it’s about the people, the culture, and the pure joy of adventure. I left with a full heart and unforgettable memories.
