FAQ
Who are horseback riding trips for?
Our expeditions are designed primarily for adults looking for an active holiday in the saddle.
People aged 16 and over can participate in the expedition under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian.
At Equi Expeditions, we know that age is just a number, which is why we do not have an upper age limit.
Horseback riding is pure pleasure, but it’s worth remembering that a multi-day trip is a form of active recreation.
If you’re healthy and generally mobile, our trips are definitely for you!
If you haven’t been in the saddle for a while, we suggest a few refresher rides before your trip – your body will definitely thank you for it during the trip.
Yes, for the health and well-being of our horses, we have adopted a rider weight limit of 110 kg.
Our expeditions take us through very diverse terrain, often requiring climbing hills and long distances. The appropriate ratio of rider weight to the horse’s physical capabilities is crucial to avoid overloading our mounts, which are our most important travel partners.
Preparation for the expedition
We recommend comfortable trousers, gloves and high, flat-soled riding boots (or low boots with half chaps) as well as clothing appropriate for the weather.
We provide safety helmets, but participants are welcome to use their own safety equipment, including a helmet or vest.
It is worth taking a few extra things, such as water, a raincoat, a small backpack, a power bank, and a waterproof phone case.
Security
Safety is our priority, so we take a first aid kit with basic medical equipment on every trip.
For your personal comfort, we encourage you to bring a few of your own essentials, such as sunscreen, insect repellent, or plasters for abrasions.
Organization and reservations
You’ll need to arrange your own transportation or flights to the meeting point, but we’re happy to help you plan your trip. After booking, we’ll send you suggestions for convenient connections and other practical tips.
If there are enough participants, we will organize an exclusive horseback riding tour tailored to your group’s needs, preferred destination, and date.
We offer meal customization options, including those for vegetarians. Please let us know when registering.
Group sizes depend on the chosen destination. The smallest groups usually have around 8 people, while the largest can have up to 18 participants. The exact number always depends on the specific route and the nature of the expedition.
