We will spend a few minutes in the training arena, getting to know our horses and novice riders will get a quick lesson, learning to stop, go and turn. When everyone is comfortable, we set off onto our nursery farm, where you can expect to see lots of bird species, including Jackal Buzzards, African Spoonbills, and Red Bishops. You may even see some small antelope, like Steenbok. We also have a dam where experienced riders can take their horses for a swim. Then we cross over to our neigbour's farm, where we ride in the vineyards, with amazing views! Our horses are well trained, and not your usual bored trail horses who do the same route every day. Your guide is a local, and very knowledgeable about both the local area, and natural horsemanship. We try not to mix different groups, so you will have a guide to yourselves, ensuring that everyone gets the ride they want, be that a gentle meander through the vineyards, or a fast paced canter down a farm track. Please do advise us what type of ride you are looking for!
