Our Goals

Our main goal is to find the "right trip" for the "right client".  Especially in today's world of the internet, it can be overwhelming to find the perfect trip. How do you separate the good from the bad ? How do you know if the riding pace is suitable for your experience? Everybody says they have the best ride - but do they ? That is where we come in !

With our decades of experience in the equestrian travel industry from a consumer and promoter point of view combined with our in depth knowledge of the tours, we have the tools to find the right trip just for you. Our personal consultation will make you feel comfortable in your decision and it is absolutely free of charge to you.

What are these riding trips all about?

They are about galloping on endless beaches, forging rivers, cantering through forests, trotting along age-old trails, gazing at beautiful vistas, and encountering foreign cultures. Most of all, these trips are about getting away from the cycle of work and never enough free time. Escape from the rituals, which long ago froze our nights and days into little more then routine, because deep inside we all feel the longing of the nomads, whose lives we lived thousands of years ago.
