Ancient Mountain trails - Albania
Looking for an adventure off-the-beaten track with good, fun riding in 2024?
Albania, a hidden gem in Europe, is both affordable and relatively easy to travel to, making it a must-visit for intermediate and experienced riders.
Iris from Equus had the pleasure of doing this ride a few years ago and had no hesitation in giving it her Equus stamp of approval. You can read her ride report on the blog for a detailed account of her visitโบ: https://blog.equus-journeys.com/en/post/25/a-taste-of-albania

The Benasque Valley, Spain
A ride that does nothing but surprise youโฆ ๐ช๐ธ
Francisca, one of Equus advisors went on the Benasque Valley trail earlier this month. The feedback speaks for itself:
โIt was my first time riding in such an iconic place such as the Pyrenees. The landscapes are to die for! The local team is wonderful, and it was great to meet some of our Equus guests. Edel was my horse, and I wouldโve loved to bring him home with me. ๐ฅฐ
I truly believe every rider should experience this kind of beauty once in their lifetimeโ

Macatoo camp - The floodwaters have arrived!
Some news from the Okavango Delta, Botswana - The new flood waters have arrived at Macatoo! ๐ฅณ
They haven't quite reached camp but are in the concession and this lovely video shows one of the first splashy canters of the season. This is always a welcome sight and great fun for horses and riders alike.

Would your horse be brave enoughโฆ? Probably not! ๐
Safari horses are trained specifically to deal with the wildlife. They are brave, smart and very sensible around the wildlife โ and especially big game. Safety is paramount and our guides really are bush experts, ensuring a safe experience for all (riders, horses, and wildlife). Lion sightings like this are not very common, although our friends at Wait a Little in South Africa have an excellent track record!
