Horse trails nature's way
Trail rides
We offer trail rides just outside Stellenbosch with horses which are trained
according to natural horsemanship methods and have natural lifestyles. We ride
over Stellenbosch wine farms through the vineyards and fynbos to the top of the
historical Bottelary hills. Throughout there are magnificent views of
Stellenbosch, its mountains, False Bay and even Table Mountain. We offer special
outings which can include picnics, wine-tasting or watching a spectacular
sunrise or sunset.
Natural horses
We believe that horses are best off when allowed a natural lifestyle.
Thus most of the time our horses live as a herd in large paddocks. The horses
are all bare-foot and their hoofs are trimmed monthly. We take great care to
condition their hoofs for different terrains. They are also fed a diet which is
more natural and supports healthy hoof growth. In training we use methods which
encourage the horses to develop relationships with humans and stimulate the
horses to develop mentally.
Groups
We only take out small groups (2-4 persons) to ensure that we ride at a pace
which all guests are comfortable with and that assistance can be given when
needed. We can accommodate beginners as well as experienced riders.
Trail guides
The trail guides are experienced horse-riders who have been riding for many
years .
What to wear
For comfort and safety it is best to wear long pants (but not denims), closed
shoes preferably with heels, t-shirts with sleeves and sun protection
(sunglasses, sun block). It is also advisable to bring a warm top or jacket.
Safety
Riding hats are provided and a first-aid kit is taken on all trails.
Location
We are located at Dwars in die Weg farm on the Devon Valley road, +- 8 km from
Stellenbosch town centre.
The farm is +- 30 min drive from Somerset West and 45 min drive from Cape Town.
