I'm a fan and would 1000% recommend. Due to some bad experiences in the past, I had grown a bit scared of horses even though I ab-so-lutely love them. I really wanted to go on a horse tour but due to the nerves, I was a bit hesitant. So when I saw that they had the option to get a lesson in groundwork I was sold. I went with my parents who had also planned a lesson and it was a perfect way to feel the vibes, get to know the horses and of course meet the people. After the groundwork session I had expressed that I really wanted to do a tour as well but that I was a bit nervous. They were very understanding and helped me to pick the right tour. It was a great way to ease my nerves because two days later I was back for the tour (with barely any nerves) and it was absolutely amazing. The tour was incredible, the groundwork lesson was very educational, the horses were very well-cared for and you could feel the love they have for horses from a mile away. I am very very thankful for the amazing experience and I will definitely come back if I am in Curacao again!

Price 💵: The price is fair in comparison to what you receive

People: The people are very kind and it very obvious they have a strong bond wind the horses. I had a guided tour and I really enjoyed how informative they were

Horses 🐴: The horses are well taken care of and it very clear that the people have their best interest at heart. On rides they also look at the horse’s safety which I found admirable

Overall it was good experience

Erna Witbraad

Jeffrey Newton

Really great ranch. All the animals are really well cared for. Many of them have a back story (rescues) and their lives are so much better now. Lovely people that clearly are passionate about the horses. Highly recommended and worth the drive. The ranch is still growing and improving and I wish them all the best!

Rancho Mi Famia is such a beautiful place - rescued animals on a beautiful property. Everyone was SO sweet and friendly, and we loved getting a little tour of all the animals before riding. There was endless patience for my kids and their questions and not rushing us at all as we pet the other horses and goats. We were varying experience levels on the ride and everyone was happy with the perfect matched mount, the conversation was great, and the horses themselves could not be beat. We walked along trails, dirt roads, and crossed some streets, with a desert landscape and interesting residential houses around us. Will definitely come back!
