Horseback riding vacations are more and more popular among those of us looking for real adventure! Unlike traditional riding trips, these journeys are a blend of outdoor adventure, cultural experience and the special connection between rider and horse. Doesn’t matter if you are a newbie to riding or have known the roads for decades; holidays like these give you experiences other than mere sightseeing.
One of the advantages of horse riding holidays is the freedom they offer. Routes can be adjusted to meet the needs of beginners with short, easy rides through scenic routes, or experts looking for a strenuous ride across all types of land. And some encompass riding with additional activities, such as hiking or wildlife watching or culinary experiences, to appeal to individuals, couples and families.
The trips also have significant health and fitness benefits. Riding works the body’s core muscles, enhances balance and demands concentration but in a meditative way. Being outside all day, in beautiful natural settings, helps travelers escape digital distractions and decompress mentally. Many describe the rhythmic movement of the horse to be soothing, in that during this period on horseback, they are both being ridden and meditating.
Planning is a key factor in making your horseback riding vacation less forgettable. Travelers, meanwhile, have the choice of destinations and with it factors like climate, terrain type and level of comfort — from rugged camping under an open sky to luxury lodges kitted out with every amenity. When bringing the proper gear, including helmets, boots and comfortable clothing, then everything becomes all the more enjoyable when sitting on your motorcycle.
At the core of it, a horse riding vacation is not only about where you end up, but how you get there. It builds enduring links to nature, to local cultures and even to the horses that bring it all together. For travelers who like a mix of relaxation, adventure, and camaraderie, there may be no better experience.
