You donβt need experience, and you can bring your older brother and younger sister because this activity is super fun for the whole family! We take groups of up to 7 and our experienced guides are dying to help you get trotting!

Our guests have been enjoying the lush green wildlife reserve despite the cold weather. It's really beautiful this time of year, and of course the wildlife viewings are always special year round ! π¦
What a lovely sun-shining day for a ride after all the rain π€ Put a jacket on and come and join us!
What a glorious morning for a ride!
Look at our 'little' Rupert π₯° Such a brave young horse and turning out to be a wonderful lead horse.

The team from Bugz Playpark joined us for a misty morning ride today π¦π
Crazy wind here in the Cape last night and today! It has ripped the roof off one of the horse shelters.
Fortunately the two new shelters stood their ground so they still have shelter from the rain that is arriving.
The horses are all safe and no injuries π All they were worried about this morning was why we were taking so long with their breakfast (while clearing their feeding stalls of roof sheets and debris so they could come in to eat!)
We had some wonderful guests join us for a ride over the long weekend ππ¦
Beautiful Rupert π΄π¦π
Full moon rise over the paddock π
Take a walk on the wild side with us π¦
When you visit us for a ride you'll usually see this smiling face! Meet Jethro, our groom who looks after our horses so well! What a blessing he is with such a gentle, soft way with the horses. He also joins the rides to help at the back while the guides lead the trails, riding Dust (the "Boss Man" of the herd).
The only thing cuter than a baby giraffe is three baby giraffe π¦ π¦π¦

Some giraffe love for the day π¦ We started out with a lovely big group today for our wildlife reserve ride, and then split up for the two who opted to extend their ride through the Villiera vineyards to enjoy a fabulous wine tasting experience π·
Can you spot the pair of fish eagles? Magical sighting close-up on this morning's ride! π¦

A big group of 12 horses out today! It's so lovely how they work together when they are all out π Can you spot the two giraffe calves? One 2.5 months old and the other not even a week old π¦π¦
There is another new little life in the reserve this morning π₯°
It's been a busy couple of weeks and our horses have been superstars. Riders from 8 years old to 85 years old have joined us this week and created some special wildlife memories π¦π¦

Fleur was so eager to go out on a ride today he was trying to get his own saddle out of his bag βΊοΈ . . #TrailHorses #HorseRiding #RidingSafari #TrailRiding #Stellenbosch #SouthAfrica #Percheron #Boerperd #Friesian
This brief moment of brotherly love was short-lived in the reunion between Fleur and Nantes. Younger brother Nantes returned after some time away training, and this quickly escalated into a brotherly brawl. . . #horses #percheronx #boerperdx #friesianx #geldings #trailhorses
Our beautiful Nantes is back from his time training with Lize-Marie at LM Horsemanship, getting him ready for his new job. We've taken him out on the trails the last few days and he is ready to join the team on our rides. Look what a good boy he is π₯° . . #percheron #boerperd #percheronx #horses #trailriding #trailhorses #wildlife #ridingsafari #southafrica #stellenbosch
