Watson’s Performance Horses offers visitors a unique opportunity to experience Bermuda on horseback while developing their riding skills with an experienced local horseman. Located in Warwick near Belmont Golf Club, the stable is led by Mike Watson, an accomplished Bermudian rider and trainer with more than 35 years of experience offering trail rides and horsemanship instruction.

Guests can enjoy small-group or private trail rides through some of Bermuda’s most scenic landscapes. Depending on the ride and season, routes can include quiet back roads, historic railway trails, countryside paths, beach paths, and beautiful coastal areas. The approximately 1.5-hour trail rides are suitable for riders ranging from first-timers who prefer a relaxed experience to more experienced equestrians looking for a more active ride.

Safety is a central focus, with Mike personally conducting the rides and matching horses and riders according to experience, height, weight, and ability. The stable is known for its well-trained, good-natured horses, including quality Quarter Horses, and also provides riding lessons for visitors interested in improving their English or Western riding skills.

Watson’s Performance Horses is an excellent choice for couples, families with eligible riders, experienced equestrians, and travelers seeking an authentic local Bermuda experience away from traditional sightseeing tours.
