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.
