• Greetings from St. Maarten! My name is Roderick Halley, and my wife Alexandra and I run Lucky Stables, a tour operating company started in 1985.

    For me, Lucky Stables is a dream come true. I’ve always been fascinated with horses and at a young age, I got my first one. That’s when I fell in love with riding. And then, something amazing happened. As I developed a passion for this, people kept stopping me on the beach and asking me to ride. That led me to start my own business, and I launched Luck Stables.

    Since then, I’ve been welcoming hundreds of tourists. My wife and I love what we do, and our guests are often pleased with our warm, friendly attitude and our sense of duty and family. We’ve been married since May 2005, and we are the proud parents of 2 little girls. Together, we enjoy offering relaxed, family-like atmosphere where they can ride away, carefree.
