We offer horse trails just 15 minutes drive from Kunguru Lodge in Elgin Valley. Magnificent landscape, farmlands and pristine fynbos form the backdrop to the trails that we take meandering along the mountainside. You are missing out on a wonderful experience, if you have never ridden a horse before. Leave the frustrating day behind you. Mount your horse, forget about everything, relax and let your mind wander. There is nothing more enjoyable than rising early, saddling your horse and watching the sun rise. It’s you and your horse moving as one, through the quiet of the morning.
Riding is also a great form of exercise. The more you ride, the more it will strengthen your arms and legs. It is a great way to stay in shape and enjoy yourself at the same time. Unfortunately, there are some people who have tried riding and had a bad experience. Perhaps you have always been fearful of horses and sworn never to get on one. If you are one of these people, we urge you to reconsider. There are instructors out there that specialize in the nervous rider, or first time rider. They will take their time with you, taking you as slow or fast as you like.
Horse trails from 1 hour to half day are available. Also on offer are riding lessons. Learn how first, before taking on a trail.
