What a fantastic way to experience the winelands, from between the ears of a horse. Our 2 Hour trail ride will start off with a short lesson for novices, after which we will head out onto the trail.
The trail will take you through orchards, along the Eerste River, across vineyards and up into the hills. The scenery is simply magnificent!
Everyone gets exactly the ride they want, be that a gentle walk through vineyards, or a fast paced canter down a farm track.
In the event that we have a mixed ability group, the group will split up for trots and canters, so beginners can just walk.
Your guide will be a local guide, with vast knowledge of South-African culture, the local area and natural horsemanship.
Our horses are absolutely the heart of our business. We work with them through connection and natural horsemanship which means they are well trained, and gentle natured. We never ride the same trail twice, so expect a wonderful ride!
