Trip description

Your guide for the day will meet you at the farm, where you will receive some practical information about the trip. You will then be give the necessary equipment you need, and pack your food, drink, and trip essentials into the saddle bags. Once you have been assigned your horse for the day, your guide will show new riders how to brush your horse and how to saddle-up.

Beginners will receive instructions from the guide on how to start, stop and turn when riding, and also how to handle the horse on the ground. Then you’re ready for the trip.

Halfway through the trip we arrive at a traditional mountain farm by the shore of Olevann. Here we make camp! First we feed and water the horses before we head for the campfire, enjoy a snack and a hot drink. Your guide is happy to answer any questions about the horses and the area. Maybe she also has some stories to tell.

When both people and horses are feeling refreshed and relaxed after a break, we start the trek back to the farm. Then it’s time to give your goodbye hugs to the horses and thank them for the trip. Maybe you’ll see them again soon.

The tours are set up in groups according to rider experience level. For experienced riders there will be chances to canter and trot. The trip can also be taken at a slower pace, adapted to beginners and children from 4 years and up, so the whole family can join.

Share de experience!

TIf you want to share this experience with your family or friends, but unsure whether riding is for you, you can join the trip by walking alongside.

Extras

What about a hot wilderness meal out in nature? Enjoy a delicious stew heated up over the campfire flames. (Must be pre-ordered)

Good to know

Our experienced guide will give you a basic introduction on how to start, stop and steer the horse, before heading out on the trip. Older children and/or those with some experience and adults, can ride alone. However young children and inexperienced riders will have someone to lead their horse. This can be either a trek assistant or a parent. Parents will get an introduction on how to lead the horse safely. If you want to ride yourself but would like one of our trek assistants to lead your child’s horse, please remember to book this in advance.
