www.globetrotting.com.au We’re a travel agency specialising in tailored horse riding holidays in all corners of the globe. Welcome to Globetrotting! So that’s us. We just love what we do.

We’re a travel agency devoted to horse riding holidays and unique cultural horse experiences the world over. We have personally tested every ride we offer, enabling us to match rides with riders' abilities and budgets. Our colourful portfolio of horse riding holidays spans 24 countries and counting, including Australia, Mongolia, Kenya, Botswana, Chile, Argentina, Japan, New Zealand, the USA, Spai

n, France, Iceland and Canada. We’re constantly researching new countries and rides to make sure that we have the best selection of horse riding holidays and safaris on offer. You won't find the same riding holiday at a lower price through another agency or direct with the supplier: this we swear. But if by some strange turn of events you do, we will refund the difference - how's that for peace of mind? Globetrotters see places, encounter cultures and meet people revealed only to those willing to travel off the beaten track on the back of a horse. They see the world through a horse’s eyes and ears, and discover travel that is slower and more enriching

We believe the rides featured in our portfolio are the bees’ knees of horse riding safaris globally and each is unique. But they all feature intelligent horses, cultural spice, shifting and challenging landscapes, colourful characters, gobsmacking foreign wildlife and a pinch (okay, sometimes a handful!) of adrenaline. They are remarkable horse properties run by passionate people who truly understand what horse people look for in a riding holiday. While we have formed close relationships with the hosts who offer these horse rides, we also remain independent and will give you honest and impartial advice about which ride will suit you best. Since we don’t run the holidays ourselves, we’re free to share our unbiased, genuine opinion of them. We can also advise on flights, travel insurance, visas, transfers, accommodation and suggested travel itineraries for before or after your horse riding holiday. And whether a horse riding holiday is on the radar for the end of the year or in a decade, we don’t mind! We hope we can feed your wanderlust, inspiring you to take the leap and become a globetrotter. When that day comes, we will welcome you warmly. Kate Pilcher

Tales to inspire: ‘I’m not sure if I can adequately convey how amazing, wonderful, spectacular, and life-changing this ride was! From the moment I was picked up in Reykjavik, every moment was perfection! The food was wonderful, the guides and staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful, the scenery was jaw-dropping, and the horses! My god, I will dream about those horses for years to come. I know it seems like hyperbole, but every day was more amazing than the next. I loved riding up into the highlands through fog and across what seemed like a lunar landscape, as much as I enjoyed riding through a valley next to a bubbling stream, looking up at cliffs that seemed to be hiding dragons in their depths. And the final day, riding across the river delta, was like something out of a dream. I can’t wait for my next Globetrotting adventure, and my next trip back to Iceland!’

Thanks, Kate T, for sharing your incredible 𝗧𝗼𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀, 𝗜𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 adventure with us! 🐴✨ Who else has Tölting through Iceland's magical highlands on a dreamy, fluffy Icelandic horse on their bucket list? 🏔️🇮🇸

POV: You’ve booked your Globetrotting holiday and now you're wondering, ‘how am I going to get fit enough for that many hours in the saddle?!’ 💁‍♀️

We get it. We've all been there!

And last week's GT Webinar revealed that YOU are keen for as many tips as you can get!

We're passionate about this topic as we don’t want saddle soreness to ruin any globetrotter's adventure. So, here's our best advice:

🏇 Have access to a horse? Great! Ride as often as you can, whether at home or at your closest riding centre. Opt for trail riding to get that confidence boost!

Aim to ride 2-3 times a week in the lead-up to your trip. Start at least a month in advance. Practice trotting (posting) 7+ minutes at a time and spend time at a slow canter. Mix it up with cantering in a two-point position (standing in your stirrups).

Can't ride regularly? Don't worry, there are other ways to get saddle fit!

💪 Strength Training to improve body control, balance, and spatial awareness. We cannot recommend this enough.

🧘‍♀️ Pilates: Work on core strength, essential for posting to the trot and cantering. Pilates engages specific muscle groups while being low-impact. Look for reformer or mat classes near you.

🏃‍♀️ Cardiovascular Exercise: Boost endurance with activities like jogging, cycling, or swimming. Aim for at least 30 minutes, 3-5 days a week.

🙆‍♀️ Flexibility and Stretching: Enhance your range of motion with yoga or dedicated stretching exercises.

Looking for optimal preparation and confidence? Combine these off-the-horse training methods with your riding preparation! 🏇🏇

*These tips are general - fitness requirements vary depending on the ride you have booked. For specific advice, don't hesitate to contact us!

Tales to Inspire: 'Imagine riding these magnificent creatures as you explore the lush landscapes, stopping to take in panoramic views that will leave you in awe. One of the highlights of this ride is the unique opportunity to swim with the horses—a magical moment that will truly stay with me forever. It was like stepping into a dream! The beauty, the connection with the horses, and the adventure—I will never forget it! I rode an exceptional Clyde cross named Kumara; he looked after me every step of the way. Although I can be a very nervous rider at times, on this horse, I didn't feel nervous for a moment. His footing never failed to amaze me; all the horses on the trek were perfectly suited to each rider, and I cannot find any fault with them. This was a bucket list adventure that I will never forget. The memories made and friendships formed will last a lifetime.'

- A huge thank you to Nina for sharing her incredible 𝗚𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗵𝘆 𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝗥𝗶𝗱𝗲 feedback with us! Who else has swimming with horses in the glacial rivers of New Zealand on their bucket list? Now that’s truly a dream come true!
