Windsor Equestrian Centre - Nassau, Bahamas. Horse riding, stables and beach trails on horseback with Happy Trails Stables

Welcome to Happy Trails Stables

Happy Trails is the only beach trail horse riding facility in Nassau. For 6 days per week visitors can enjoy a 1.5 hour trail ride every morning. They are picked up from their hotel or cruise ship by the happy Trail courtesy bus, brought out to the stables where they are given some basic riding instruction and then its off to the trails.

The Windsor Equestrian Centre, or Happy Trails Stables as it is known locally, has been operating in The Bahamas since 1977. The brainchild of Duke and Susan Smith, the stables began offering trail rides for visitors and residents from its location in Coral harbour, a small scenic settlement on the beach, about 25 minutes from Downtown Nassau, the Bahamas’ capital, and only 7 minutes from the prestigious Lyford Cay.

It was not long before the Smiths were boarding private horses and offering instruction for novice riders, all of which continue to this day.

In 2006 our grey 17hh Holsteiner, Monster Max had a cameo role in the James Bond movie Casino Royale, starring Daniel Craig. Max who was originally imported from Germany, was ridden by Bond girl Caterina Murino. The movie was released to rave reviews in November, 2006. Click the Bond logo below for more photos.

Over the years, the Windsor Equestrian Centre has participated in the making of commercials, videos, and several movies as well as still photography for international calendars, magazines and advertisements.

Some of our recent footage has included:

Jimmy Buffet,
"Holiday in the Sun" with the Olsen twins and
"After the Sunset" with Pierce Brosnan and Selma Hayek.
