Horse Riding
Introduction to Horse Riding
| Horse Riding is a fun and exciting way to enjoy the fresh outdoor air and to experience the beauty of the outdoors. Horse riding is also a great way to interact with horses and to interact with your family and other people throughout the horse ride. |  |
Horse riding can be done in a variety of areas such as national parks, beaches, farms and ranches depending on where you live or where you would like to go. For beginners there are short horse rides which introduce you to the horse and riding skills. For advanced and experienced riders there are long trail rides to suit your needs. All the horses are trained at slow, medium and fast paces so it will depend on your riding ability and how confident you are when choosing a pace horse for your horse ride.
Beach Horse Riding

Beach horse rides are conducted by experienced horse instructors who are familiar with the beach surroundings. Whether you are a learner or you are experienced a beach horse ride can be catered to suit your abilities. Beach Horse rides can run from an hour to 5 hours as the ride will help you experience the joyful setting of a beach. |
The horses involved can take you for a dip as they will enjoy the water as well. Rides continue along the sandy beaches and journey up across rocky and sandy treks. Stopping for a photo and a bite to eat is all part of a beach horse ride and a guide will explain the history and modern day times of the beach and its surrounding. All types of riders are welcomed to beach rides for a horse riding experience they will never forget.
National Park Horse Rides
| National parks all over the world will have horse trails and treks designed for horse rides. Trail up into mountainous ranges, across rivers and through the wetlands or follow the simple treks which are catered for horse rides. |  |
Horse riding is a great option for families who are on vacation or just visiting for the day. Children will enjoy the horseback ride and parents will also enjoy riding as well as the breathe taking views of the national parks and wildlife.
When your horse ride begins you will be taught and given instructions on how to ride the horse, safety precautions and a guide will follow and tell the national park's story. Horses within the horse ride are available at fast, medium and slow paces so choose one to the best of your horse riding ability. Horse rides through national parks are a small fee which sometimes includes a picnic lunch and drinks. Classes can be catered to suit just your family or a large group. Booking may be required so check out the national parks closest to your destination and phone for enquiries and bookings.

Stop for a delicious picnic lunch and go for a swim (if its summer) in one of the clear water rivers or lakes. Whether you are riding through the Grand Canyon mountain valley trails or riding through privately owned farms and ranches this horse ride will give you an experience you will never forget.
