Explore (eternal) landscapes on horseback.
Our horse trekking journeys are small, personal and deliberately flexible. You stay with local herding families, ride horses they own and care for, and travel alongside people whose lives are rooted in the landscapes you explore.
These are not regimented riding holidays with rigid daily routes. Weather, terrain, river levels, the horses and the knowledge of your herder host all influence how each day unfolds.
You may not ride every week, but you should feel comfortable with the basics and be happy spending several hours in the saddle across varied natural terrain.
At the heart of every journey are the local herders we work with through long-term community partnerships. You stay with them, ride alongside them and travel on horses that are part of their everyday lives.
That means no two journeys unfold in quite the same way, giving each trek its own sense of discovery and personal adventure.

We offer our horse trekking journeys in two ways: set-date small-group departures and private tailor-made experiences. Both are built around the same approach — small groups, long-term local partnerships and journeys shaped by the people, horses and landscapes you travel with.
Our scheduled departures bring together a small group of travellers for a specific journey and departure date. Group sizes are typically between two and six riders, keeping the experience personal and allowing us to remain flexible as conditions change. These include some of our longer and more remote horse trekking journeys, where the season, local logistics or a particular event help determine when the trip takes place.
Several of our horse trekking journeys can also be arranged privately. This gives you greater flexibility over dates and, depending on the route, duration and overall itinerary. We recommend a maximum of six riders. Smaller groups are easier for local families to host, place less pressure on the landscape and horses, and allow the journey to remain responsive to weather, terrain and individual riding ability. If you are travelling with a larger group, talk to us. We will always consider what is practical for the horses, local families and landscape before deciding what will work.
