Comparatively dry Antigua is best for beach rides, though you won't find anything wildly romantic and deserted à la The Black Stallion. Spring Hill Riding Club (Falmouth Harbour. 268/460-7787 or 268/460-1333. www.springhillridingclub.com) really specializes in equestrian lessons in show jumping and dressage but also offers $50 hour-long trail rides on the beach or through the bush past ruined forts (swimming is an additional $20); half-hour private lessons from a British Horse Society instructor are $25.
