The Northern Horse

Description

The Northern Drakensberg provides an equine experience of a lifetime! Climb mountains, forge rivers and race over plains atop hardy mountain horses and ponies and enjoy unspoilt scenery in the foothills of this World Heritage Site.

We have over twenty horses of various breeds and backgrounds. We try to keep them as natural as possible. They live out in fields and have a strong herd structure. It is very interesting to watch the dynamics between each horse and the relationships that have developed.

We offer a 1, 2 or 3 night trail. The ride starts at 9:30 on Day 1 and we usually spend about 6 hours in the saddle each day. We do break for lunch at a beauty-spot along the way where sensitive bottoms enjoy a well deserved reprieve with a swim in a river or dam. The trails wind their way over the vast plains of the Little Berg, and up steep ridges where breathtaking views abound. Visits to the Zulu Sangoma or Bushman Cave can be incorporated. Guests are accommodated in very comfortable, mountain accommodation with flushing toilets, running water and proper beds (with linen)! All food and drinks are provided.

These outings are designed around each booking so that the individual needs and interests of the rider are catered for. We pride ourselves on being flexible to each individual guest.
