  3. Bregje,
    We got back from our cruise and just wanted to tell you thank you for a great experience. We all agreed that Bonaire and horseback riding was one of our favorite experiences. Thank you so much for a great time.

  4. Beste Bregje en Marc,
    Mijn dochter en ik zijn vanaf morgen voor twee weken op Bonaire. En zouden graag zwemmen met jullie paarden.
    Mijn dochter is alleen 5 jaar, kan het dan ook?
    Een rit van 2 uur is te lang voor haar. Is de baai vlak bij jullie ranche? Is het misschien in te korten? Of is er iets anders te bedenken?
    Ze zou het geweldig vinden? En ik ook denk ik!
    Hoor het graag!
    Hartelijke groet

  8. Hello :)
    My fiancé and I are visiting 22 – 29 April, 2017. We are interested in swimming with the horses, if that is available. We would also want the photography, as the pictures on your site are amazing! This is our third time to Bonaire, and we wanted to do something other than 7 dives per day :). We are coordinating dives with Bas…he is an amazing guy. Please let us know :)

  11. Hoi Bergje en Marc, ik ben op Bonaire en zou erg graag willen zwemmen met jullie paarden. Zou je iets kunnen laten weten over wat de mogelijkheden de aankomende tijd zijn? Ik kon vroeger goed rijden, maar heb het al heel erg lang niet meer gedaan. Ik denk dat twee uur rijden daarom wel lang is. Ik weet niet hoe lang het zwemmen daarbij duurt? Groetjes, Sophie

  12. Beste heer/mevrouw,

    Is het mogelijk om a.s. vrijdagochtend bij jullie te komen paardrijden? We zijn met 2 personen en willen graag de trial and swim doen. Ik ben zelf een ervaren ruiter en mijn vader is een starter. We hebben een paardenranche in Nederland, dus de ervaring met paarden is er.

    We horen graag of het mogelijk is!

    Met vriendelijke groet,
    Marlijn Hegeman
