Question Harley Tour AND Horseback Riding; Too Much?

Well be going to Aruba on Adventure of the Seas on September 8th.

Our last time there we went on a sightseeing trip of the island via taxi at the last minute; the tour we were undecided on filled up and the other one we were debating got cancelled. The taxi driver showed us alot of the island, but we left Aruba wondering what all the fuss was about? Friends and family back home raved about the island. Maybe our tour selling out and the cancelled tour impacted this? This time back I wanted to make sure it's set up early, so this is where my question comes in

I am debating attempting to do both the Harley motorcycle 1/2 Day Tour (3.5 - 4 hours) AND a 1.5 or 2 hour horseback riding private tour (2 - 2.5 hours). We are in port from 8am until 6pm (5:30 all aboard) so we're there for 9.5 hours. The Harley tour would start around 8:30am and the horseback riding I was going to set up around 1:30/2:00pm. Do you think it would be too much "riding" and therefore too exhausting for one day? My timing would give us 1.5 hours to grab lunch either in town or back onboard the ship between the 2 things and we would be back to the ship around 4pm or maybe 4:30 pm from the day's events. Are we really pushing it? What do you think?

Also, if anyone has done either of these, I'd love to hear which companies you used for either tour. I've narrowed down the field and I'm looking for feedback whether it's positive or negative.
