Half-Day Trek
Great for first-timers too
This set loop takes you through beautiful mountain valleys, with mostly flat terrain and little elevation change — giving plenty of opportunity for trotting and cantering for those who want to pick up the pace. Groups are kept small, with a maximum of 5–6 riders.
Please note this is not a private ride, so the group travels at the pace of the slowest rider — a great excuse to relax into the scenery if you’re newer to riding, or enjoy some faster stretches if you’re more experienced.
Helmets are provided and must be worn at all times. For everyone’s safety, and the wellbeing of our horses, guides may stop or adjust a ride if safety guidance isn’t followed.
