What are the horses like?

The welfare of both horse and rider is our upmost priority. All the horses we use are selected based on their behaviour, training and nature. They are familiar with each other, used to the routes and fit for the terrain. Standards will change in different countries- for instance in tack - but will always be in good condition and completely safe.
