2 Hour Beach Horse Trail (Advanced Riders)

Jeffreys Bay

Activity Description

Experienced guides escort riders twice daily along the 13km circular route that takes about two hours to complete. The trail leads through beautiful fynbos coastal vegetation, towards the Gamtoos river with breathtaking views from the dunes and finally returning along a 6 km stretch of deserted beach where riders can have an exhilarating gallop on the sand.

The guides escort every group and assist riders in selecting horses just right for their respective capabilities. This outride is ideal for intermediate and advanced riders, though in quiet times, we also accommodate first timers and beginners. Experienced riders can choose not to go with a guide and have the freedom to explore the valley at their own pace.

RIDING EXPERIENCE
If You have different experience riders in the group – please make separate bookings for Beginner, Intermediate & Experienced Riders. Riders of different experience will have the same departure time but will have horses that suit their skill and group will be split into rider capabilities during the trail.

BEGINNER CLASS:
Ridden a horse only on trail rides. Do not know what a posting trot is about. This is you if, when the horse goes into a trot (second gear), you start hitting the saddle hard, have no way to control it and are hanging onto the saddle for dear life.
INTERMEDIATE CLASS:
Have been taught how to trot and canter and understand how to control a horse. Can ride without holding onto the saddle and are not pulling on your horse’s mouth.
ADVANCED CLASS:
Can jump fences, can handle a bucking rearing beast and turn it back into a trail pony.

Customer Reviews

Great experience, friendly staff, well behaved horses, beautiful landscape - Karien


Wonderful experience! Great horses, well looked after, beautiful route and very professional guides, would definitely come back! - Theresa


"So elke nou en dan kry jy 'n perd wat kan vlieg" - Bianca Brits Waar die golwe jou perd se hoewe soen, Waar die wind jou hare deurmekaar waai, Waar jy loshande oor die wit strand gallop, Waar die son die landskap in 'n sprokieswereld verander, Daan staan tyd stil, Daar is jy vry, Daar sal jou glimlag vir altyd by jou bly. - Bianca


It was the most amazing ride I ever did! The Galopp on the beach was just pure magic, you hardly find places where you can galop as long and as fast as you want to and nothing will ever get in your way! The guide took amazing videos and pictures of me even during the fastest sections. It was great - Sara


I loved every moment, it was very nice and everybody was friendly and helpfull - Nelmari
