Outrides on offer are 1 and 2-hour mountain trails catering for beginners to advanced horse riders. Canter through the vineyards, climb the foothills and meander through the forest.

The route was stunning - a bit of vinyard , a bit of mountain & a bit of forest. Well chosen to enjoy the surrounding nature aswell as the breathtaking view. The horses was extremely sweet. And the guide was kind and assuring. - Neriyah
Lovely ride up through the fynbos on to the hills, and a very pleasant wine tasting afterwards. I'm a beginner, but it was all very eay and comfortable for the hour I'd booked. - Martyn
A great outride with the family. The horses were great and the scenery wonderful. All in all a five star experience. - Stacey
Oh my Word What a beautiful experience. The horses are well trained and so obedient. Our guide was so amazing and the tour was a experience of a life time. I cnt wait to be back - Radhika
My daughter and I signed up for the 1 hour ride - so worth it. My daughter is an experienced rider and I am not - the group leader was very experienced and made sure the horse and rider were well matched. The scenery and magnificent fynbos above Stanford Hills is amazing. I highly recommend. - Mark
