Ethical Treatment & Humane practices:
When curating our trails, we work closely with guides and tour operators renowned for their ethical standards. We ensure that every partnership prioritises the well-being of the horses, with proper care including regular health check-ups, nutritious diets, and ample rest breaks. Whether riding through the stunning countryside of Wales or the hills of Andalusia, you can trust that our horses are treated with the utmost respect.
Building strong relationships with local stables is the foundation of our ethos. From Portugal to Morocco, we collaborate only with teams who share our dedication to animal welfare, ensuring that every ride is a responsible and enriching experience for both rider and horse.
Local Partnerships:
We pride ourselves on creating riding holidays that contribute to the regions we explore. From the rural countryside of Cornwall to the vineyards of Bordeaux, we collaborate with local chefs, farmers, and artisans to bring you an authentic culinary experience. Whether enjoying fresh, local produce in a country inn or exploring the coastlines of Crete, our aim is to support local economies and reduce our environmental impact.
This approach guarantees that our guests not only enjoy a unique taste of the culture but also contribute directly to the communities they visit.
Low-Impact Rides:
Riding through picturesque landscapes naturally lends itself to low-impact travel. Our trails are carefully designed to minimise environmental disturbance, whether you’re galloping across the wilds of Mongolia or trekking through the historic Pyrenees. By using state-established routes, we ensure that our rides remain respectful of the unspoilt beauty and ecosystems of each area.
Waste Management:
We adhere to a strict “leave no trace” policy across all our riding holidays, from the beaches of Costa Rica to the mountains of Kyrgyzstan. Every aspect of our trips, from meals to equipment, follows eco-friendly practices, ensuring we protect the pristine landscapes we explore.
At Nomad Riders, crafting the perfect itinerary to match your desires is our top priority. Whether you wish to embark on a short ride through the beautiful countryside of Scotland or a more extended adventure in Portugal’s rugged coast, our team is here to make it happen. We cater for all kinds of experiences, whether you’re travelling with non-riders, planning a weekend escape to a cottage in the Brecon Beacons, or even looking to explore the scenic trails of Wales. Whatever you envision for your holiday, we’ve got you covered with unparalleled flexibility and bespoke adventures.
No matter your level of riding experience, from beginners to advanced, we offer an incredible range of equestrian holidays that are highly recommended for everyone. Whether you’re learning the basics with dressage lessons in Andalucia or enjoying a ranch holiday in the USA, our certified instructors adapt to your individual skill level. With us, you’ll feel confident from the start, whether exploring the Atlas Mountains or a peaceful camp in the wilds of Botswana. Nomad Riders is committed to ensuring that each rider gets the most out of their equestrian journey, with tailored rides across varied terrains and levels.
Our certified instructors are not only experienced equestrians but also passionate about sharing their love for horseback riding. Whether you're staying at a lodge in Ireland or riding along the sandy beaches of Turkey, you will receive personalised, expert guidance. Our instructors are trained in multiple disciplines, from polo to jumping, ensuring your needs are met, and that you can fully enjoy the incredible freedom and discovery of the ride.
Each trail we offer is carefully hand-picked to provide a fantastic balance between natural beauty and safe, enjoyable riding conditions. From the true wilderness of Mongolia to the rolling mountains of Peru, our rides offer breathtaking views and a genuine connection to the landscapes. Whether galloping across ranches in Spain or exploring the historic Dordogne region of France, we ensure that every journey brings you closer to the heart of each location while providing the ultimate riding experience.
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, France or Versailles & Its gardens on Horseback – 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; or The Tölt, Glacier, and Well-being in Iceland; or Venice & The Dolomites on Horseback 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.
If you find yourself uncertain about your horse-riding experience, we are here to help and assist you.
