Our mission is to accommodate riders with diverse horse-riding backgrounds and offer the opportunity to anyone – from beginners to advanced riders – to enjoy the unique experience of traveling on horseback. This is why we have designed and selected horse holidays that cater to riders from different levels:
If you are looking for a « first-time in the saddle » experience, we recommend exploring The Imperial Heritage Ride in Fontainebleau, The Palace of Versailles & Its gardens, or The City of Horses – both tailored to suit both novices and experienced riders. These rides are crafted with gentle and calm horses, navigating mostly flat lands to provide a more relaxed introduction to horse-riding tours.
If you are seeking a more challenging and exhilarating ride, consider options such as The Royal Marwar Safari in Rajasthan, India, The Tölt, Glacier, and Wellness in Iceland; The Castles of Tuscany Tour or the Venice & The Dolomites in Italy. These holidays are designed for more fit and experienced riders as they feature spirited horse breeds, navigating rough terrains, with long canters and more time spent in the saddle.
