Ride Reports

In the space of 7 nights I ticked off each and every member of Africa’s Big 5, plus countless other game and bird species – and trust me when I say that there’s not many places where you can do that easily within one week, especially whilst on horseback.

The Mediterranean Trail is a fun trail for fit and experienced riders. You ride forward going horses for long distances often at a good pace. You get you stay in charming rural guesthouses and hotels, and will learn lots about the Catalan culture which makes this area so different from the rest of Spain.

This trails you through some of the most beautiful and diverse scenery on Sicily. You ride across the Nebrodi mountain range on a journey towards the final destination – Mt Etna. On your way, enjoy some wonderful food and special accommodation whilst riding lovely, well trained horses.

These itineraries are perfect for riders who appreciate polite, well-schooled horses while being lead through the mountains by an experienced guide.

I had read much about Costa Rica being one of the most biodiverse countries to be found in the World. This rugged, rainforested Central American country didn’t let me down

This ride is suitable to fit riders who enjoy riding forward going horses.

I hadn’t appreciated that over 80% on Montenegro is made up of mountains, and it was within this dramatic scenery that we rode for 4 days.

I absolutely loved riding the Peruvian Pasos! The gaucho games were also so much fun and I was able to relive my mounted games days.

This is a real off-grid adventure, which takes you from the virgin steppes of Argentina, through the vast mountain chain of the Andes and into the verdant Valdivian forests of Chile.

Riding along the coast of the Mitre Peninsula in Argentina, this journey takes you from civilisation to the End of The World. This is a trail ride where you must be ready to forgo everyday comforts for basic facilities, but the rewards are more than worth it.

I love travelling to new places and when the chance came to visit Greenland with our exploratory ride, I have to admit I jumped at it. I have trawled through my pictures and memories, of which there are many, and hopefully you will get a flavour of this wonderful country from my blog.

Pedro and his wife Anabel the owners and guides are very knowledgeable about the region

Los Alamos is perfect for single travellers and groups of friends alike. The social, relaxed atmosphere is why guests return year upon year. The horses are a pleasure to ride and the riding is fun, but also relaxing – just what a holiday is all about.
The riding is suited to confident riders who are happy on forward going horses and are experienced at controlling horses over varying terrain, with other horses and riders around them.

This is a six night ride through the forests and hills of Swedish Lapland. The ride is a great opportunity to learn more about the Sami culture and reindeer herding in the North. Whether you have ridden Icelandic horses before or not, this ride is also a great introduction to the breed.

This trail will lead you through some of the most beautiful and diverse mountain ranges of North Macedonia. It is a great chance to learn about the culture and history of the country and interact with local families at their sheep farms.

You are assured a warm welcome at Kambaku, whether you are a family, couple or friends travelling together. There are two non-riding activities a day, so this is an ideal choice for couples where one person doesn’t ride, or families with different riding or enthusiasm levels!

As a big fan of South America, dramatic scenery and riding off the beaten path, our Estancias Ride in Chile was a trip that I’ve longed to do for a number of years. The images of azure blue lakes and snow-capped mountains make you want to go and experience the incredible landscapes for yourself. I was not disappointed, even a little bit!

In November 2018 I journeyed to Ushuaia to meet Adolfo & Laura Imbert, founders of an incredible ride at the end of the world.
