Our top priority is the care and well being of our horses and their equipment. All effort is made to fit the right saddle and bridle. The equipment for the trail is carefully chosen to ensure the horses comfort on long distance rides. All horses are getting trained in basic dressage in the riding arena in the way the GFN (German National Equestrian Federation) recommends. This ensures that your horse is responsive, well mannered and fun to ride. This training loosens their backs and softens their mouth so the horse is more in balance on trail. All horses are spirited and forward going, some obviously more than others.

On trail we ride on Leon Liversage Endurance saddles which are specifically designed for long distance rides. The saddle distributes the weight equally on the horses back and is in addition very comfortable for the rider. You sit automatically straight, so better for you and your horses back. Each horses back is different, so not every saddle fits every horse. The saddles come in different sizes and lengths.

We prefer sending our horses in Leon's endurance saddles, they sit better on the horses back for long distance riding. However, the training of the horses is obviously done in English dressage saddles and alternatively we can offer English saddles on trail.

Please read more about Leon's Saddles under  www.trailrider.co.za

We do offer seat savers and sheepskins.

Almost all horses go in a loos ring snuffle. Two or three are going in a rubber Pelham for their own comfort.

Jodhpurs and half or full chaps, comfortable riding boots, please bring whatever you feel comfortable in. Comfortable light weight riding helmet, preferably with a good circulation. We do have a little assortment of chaps and helmets, but do highly recommend you to bring you own equipment.
