Horse Riding

A horse riding travel experience is a great way of combining exploring new places while enjoying the company of one the world’s finest mammals.

Horse riding is easy to get into and there are many forms of horse riding including horse racing, show jumping and dressage. Horse riding in it’s simplest form is known as Equestrianism or horse back riding.

Once you have actually ridden a horse you will realise that what you might have thought of as an easy activity is actually pretty scary! If you are looking for an alternative to the mechanised excitement of motor bikes and mountain bikes then look no further.
