What to expect
You'll meet your guide and horse, receive a brief safety talk, then mount up. The ride follows a set route through mixed terrain—some shaded forest sections, some open fields. Your guide sets a steady pace and stays nearby to help with any concerns. The hour moves fairly quickly once you're in the saddle. Horses here are steady, used to novice riders, so expect a calm experience rather than a gallop. You'll feel some muscle fatigue the next day, especially in the legs and lower back, even on gentle rides.
Good to know
Wear long trousers, closed-toe shoes, and a shirt with sleeves. Not suitable if you have spinal issues, are pregnant, or have serious cardiovascular concerns. Riders of all fitness levels can participate; the guide adjusts to your ability.
