ERC was born on the tiny island of Vieques, Puerto Rico and a few years later, expanded to Martha’s Vineyard in 2012 and Cape Cod in 2014. In 2019, we have decided to “come home” to the Eastern Shore of Virginia and offer our services to the budding tourism industry in Cape Charles and surrounding areas. This doesn’t change our life and business on Vieques, but we will not be returning to Massachusetts in the future. Below you’ll find some great videos and write-ups that have featured us over the years.

RIDE A PASO FINO HORSE

ON PLAYA NEGRA

Horses roam freely on the rustic island of Vieques. You’ll see them

running along the roads, playing on the beach, and grazing in herds

in the open fields. But these aren’t your average equines. They are

Paso Finos, a breed whose rhythmic gait creates a notably smooth

ride that you can experience for yourself on a tour with Esperanza

Riding Company. Settle into the saddle for a relaxing two-hour ride,

during which you’ll explore parts of the island that you can’t reach

by car. The trip goes from enjoyable to extraordinary when you

turn the corner onto Playa Negra.
As your horse frolics through the

surf on this striking black-sand beach, you’ll feel as if you stepped

out of a painting that’s so stunning, it can’t be real. But it is.

 

TIP

Esperanza Riding Company takes groups
out in the early morning or late afternoon to avoid the hottest part of the day. Space is limited, so book in advance to secure your spot.
