The excursion was thoughtfully designed to cater beautifully to both beginners and experienced riders, making it an inclusive and enjoyable adventure.

5.00My dad and I did the 2hr mountain ride with Howard. What a lovely experience to be in the foothills surrounded by glorious fynbos. Beautiful and peaceful. Our horses Patches and Pico were well behaved and sure footed. There are opportunities for experienced riders to trot and canter. A highlight of our visit to Stanford.
