Join me (Holly!) for a gourmet ride in Slovenia! 🐎

From 30th May - 6th June I will be joining our new 'Wild Gourmet' ride, organised by our longstanding partner Borut (who I have already ridden with).

Key facts:

- it's a western ride with well-schooled horses
- comfortable, authentic accommodations with local character
- traditional Slovenian cuisine paired with excellent regional wines every evening
- private chef travels with the group to prepare delicious picnics and trail lunches
- varied riding terrain (forests, valleys, villages, lakes)
- a medium riding pace (some good canters but nothing too wild)
- a bear watching trip is included
- massages can be booked at some accommodations

€2650 EUR / £2300 GBP / $3040 USD per person includes Ljubljana airport transfers (with the group), 7 nights of twin/double room accommodation, all meals, wines with meals, bear watching and 6 riding days.

Ideally I need people willing to share rooms as one single room is already gone and they are limited. Someone can share with me too of course! 💃

We've been partnered with this beautiful ranch in Morocco for many years now... 15 perhaps? Maybe more! 🥰 I rode there back in 2011.

They offer based stays as well as multi-day trails and they're open all year, situated on the coast where it stays a little cooler. We wanted to share this beautiful new video they sent us.

Their page on our site is here: https://www.farandride.com/riding-holidays/morocco/great_south_ranch/

Or you can email us for more info on [email protected].

2026 is Chinese year of the horse… what a year it is going to be! 🙌

Team member Natalie visited our 'Dressage in Provence' ride last week to learn more about it. Here's what she has to say about her experience there:

"On entering through the gates of Haras du Coussoul you'll find a peaceful haven for horses and riders, all wrapped in quaint French architecture and manicured gardens. Alicia, together with her family and dedicated team, welcome you into their tranquil space where horses are at the centre of day-to-day life.

Your lessons will help you to learn new skills and build on correct foundations, with the focus of training placed on building a good relationship with your horse. Emphasis is also placed on respect for their individual natures and needs. There is miles of off-road routes to enjoy through relaxed trail rides and the horses have access to ample turnout every day - they are never worked more than twice per day. Their education begins with groundwork, which forms an important step in learning advanced dressage movements. This training ensures the horses can understand clearly what will be asked of them and can react with calmness and confidence.

Rather than simply going through the motions of riding trained horses through advanced movements, this centre gives you the opportunity to truly learn the hows and whys of dressage. You'll take away key skills that will be beneficial to you as a horse person and in all aspects of equestrian sport!"

How about a snowy adventure in Sweden from 4th - 9th Jan? We have a solo rider ready to book this special wintry adventure close to the Arctic Circle.

Temperatures can be extreme but your hosts provide some specialist clothing to make sure you stay safe and comfortable. The Icelandic Horses are well-adapted to the cold... as are the dogs who will take you sledding! 🤩
