UK

The UK offers some superb riding with miles of quiet country lanes, bridleways and open fields. You can ride meandering trails through beautiful woodland, alongside rivers or on beaches allowing you to get in amongst nature and experience it first hand. With trails perfect for absolute beginners through to the more experienced rider, there's riding for everyone in the UK. Popular destinations for horse riding include Exmoor, the Brecon Beacons, the New Forest, the Lake District, Argyll and Northumberland.

Europe

Southern Portugal often boasts Europe's best weather in spring and autumn so this could be the place to live out your dream of riding the white horse on the beach. Poland with its fantastic countryside and lakes is perfect for most outdoor activities and horse riding in this unspoilt countryside is a real pleasure. Sardinia’s unique landscape, rugged mountains, beautiful valleys and breath-taking coastline, make it a popular destination. Enjoying the natural beauty of this spectacular countryside from the back of a horse really enhances the experience. Other great locations for horse riding in Europe are Ireland, Bulgaria, Iceland and Romania to name just a few.

And Beyond

South Africa is an ideal year-round destination. Try a 'Big 5' riding safari for spectacular close up viewing of elephant and other game. Mongolia, where the horse is an essential and integral part of life, is probably one of the wildest destinations and is still practically untouched by western influence. Or, how about a real desert experience? With easy access from the UK and guaranteed winter sunshine, Jordan has much to offer. Other exotic destinations include Costa Rica, Ecuador and Australia.
