    HORSE RIDING VACATIONS
    EXPERIENCE FREEDOM IN THE SADDLE

    Traveling on horseback is one of the best ways to travel. Being outside, exposed to the elements, and seated high up, gives you a whole different perspective on your surroundings. Horseback riding is one of the world’s most exciting activities, as well as being one of the best ways to explore new countries and landscapes, as the popularity of horseback riding vacations worldwide clearly shows. Taking a horseback riding tour is an excellent way of learning new skills while getting close to nature in some of the most beautiful places on earth. Regardless of your level of skill or experience, there’s a horseback riding trip somewhere in the world that’s right for you. If you’re new to riding, you can find beginner friendly tours that will teach you to walk and trot in an equestrian ring or on easy trails. If you’re an experienced rider, you can take your skills to the next level with lessons in dressage and jumping, or just experience the exhilaration of trail rides in fantastic new environments. There’s no greater feeling of freedom!
