You will spend the night in accommodation specially selected by us in <strong>Double rooms<\/strong>. For the overnight stays in the area we provide you with <strong>Modern tents<\/strong> available. <strong>Breakfast and dinner <\/strong>will either be served in the respective hostel or provided by us and partly prepared quite traditionally at the crackling campfire. At noon is usually a small snack in the form of a <strong>Snack Packs<\/strong> or a small <strong>Picnics<\/strong> provided.

The tour is suitable for <strong>1 to 10 participants<\/strong>, all of which have already been <strong>2 to 3 years firmly in the saddle<\/strong> should sit. With our <strong>Stallions and geldings<\/strong> it concerns <strong>well-groomed and sociable animals<\/strong>. Just like the horses, you should be aware of all the <strong>3 gaits safe<\/strong> feel. The mountain stages in particular demand riding skills in some cases. Even though the horses are extremely sure-footed and reliable animals, they must be able to rely on your leadership. You should therefore already <strong>Experience with off road riding<\/strong> have. Also ideal is a rider weight of <strong>not more than 90kg<\/strong>. The excursions are limited to a <strong>Riding time from 5 to 6 hours<\/strong> a day, with the pace changing depending on the condition of the trails. In the mountains, by nature, a calmer pace is often appropriate. The animals are kept at <strong>English bridle<\/strong> guided. In the dry season, i.e. from <strong>April till October<\/strong>, you will find the best weather conditions for the 11-day tour in the highlands.
