Paul and Jill's Equestrian Stables, 2 Estate Sprat Hall, Route 58 (tel. 340/772-2880; http://pws.prserv.net/paul-and-jills), the largest equestrian stable in the Virgin Islands, is known throughout the Caribbean for the quality of its horses. It's set on the sprawling grounds of the island's oldest plantation great house. The operators lead scenic trail rides through the forests, past ruins of abandoned 18th-century plantations and sugar mills, to the tops of the hills of St. Croix's western end. Beginners and experienced riders alike are welcome. A 2-hour trail ride costs $50. Tours usually depart daily in winter at 10am and 3pm, and in the off season at 4pm, with slight variations according to demand. Reserve at least a day in advance.
