HORSE TRAILS |

We present 2 leisurely 3 hour rides on Sundays – from 08:00 am – 11:00 am and from 15:00pm – to 18:00pm respectively.
All these journeys are accompanied by two or more experienced guides. Halfway through the trip the group splits in two:
- An advance group that enables gutsy, wild at heart riders to practice their so called “unplanned dismounts” at a controlled canter pace.
- A slow, controlled group, that either trot or walk for the slightly more meek and mild rider.
