By using horses to transport us in to the country, our environmental impact is minimal and does not create loud noises which could scare or spook other wild forest animals. This gives the feeling of absolution with our surroundings and the chance to see nature at its fullest.
Although we’ve never ridden horses in the past, it only enthuses us more to utilise them to help us throw ourselves in to nature even further. The horses which we use are friendly, well trained and placid, and sometimes appear to know the trail like the back of their hoof! Each adventure is accompanied by a certified guide with knowledge of the route and horse riding experience. The guide serves to make sure we don’t miss any important sights on the trail, enriching the experience. The horses are our partners on the route, not only by a means of transport, but also spiritually as they serenely take us through the unknown, willing us to absorb their air of tranquillity. This experience is fun for all the family and, for children, will be an unforgettable one. The cost is a modest one too: one and a half hours is only thirty euros and two hours is forty euros.
