October saw two separate trails converge at Wavecrest Hotel, giving our riders a slightly different experience from usual.
While Jess led British adventurers Vanessa and Keith Brown on our 8-day Qolora Trail, Tertia took three riders on our monthly mini-trail, with our Swiss volunteer Anja acting as her backup guide 🇨🇭.
Anja's mount, the leggy Thoroughbred JFK, proved himself a perfect fit for trail. Leading confidently into rivers and swallowing up the long beach canters with his capacious stride, he demonstrated remarkable adaptability after his long off the track rehabilitation🏇🏻.
Alongside Anja and her sizable mount, were returning rider Bridget, who joined us on a Wild Coast Trail last year, and German riders Alex and Thomas, all of whom added a few more feathers to their caps, ticking off the Wavecrest gallop and a couple of challenging river crossings 💦.
The Wild Coast, with its rugged cliffs and endless beaches, has a way of weaving stories together, and Wavecrest Hotel served as the perfect point for these two tales (or trails) to intertwine.
What began as two separate journeys became a shared adventure - one that reminded everyone there why the Wild Coast should be on every horse-rider’s bucket list! 🪣

Calling all horse lovers and equestrian adventurers! Remember that dream you had of cantering along a beach with nothing but the sound of horse's hoofbeats in your ears? It's time to live that dream. Escape the realities of everyday life and be whisk away on an unforgettable horseback holiday.
Imagine spending a few weeks reconnecting with yourself and rediscovering the freedom horses symbolize, carrying you along breathtaking coastal trails and immersing you in the rhythms of village life. There are no rigid schedules or rushed experiences here. Wild Coast Horse Trails’ Equestrian Connection is about living a life governed by the rhythm of your heart.
In the morning, you can join in the day-to-day care of our herd of hand-picked horses or simply laze the day away in true African style. Every minute you spend with the horses is time well spent, allowing you to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with what matters most.
Every day, there's an opportunity to ride, whether it's trekking through rural villages, cantering across open grassy plains, or exploring the rugged beauty of South Africa's Wild Coast.
With dolphins and whales out to sea, colourful birdlife overhead, and ever-present monkeys chattering in the trees, it's not a horse safari in the traditional sense, but an immersion into an authentic wilderness that intertwines with the local coastal communities.
Spend hours in the saddle every day or just do a happy hack - it’s your dream, we’ll help you live it! Haven’t been on a horse for a while? Don’t worry. We’ll help you get back in the saddle and find your stride. Want more of a challenge? We offer fast beach canters and adventurous bush trails (if you think you’re up to it!).
This isn't just a horse-riding adventure - it's about connecting with horses and letting them shape your dream. Discover the togetherness that comes from truly understanding and bonding with these majestic creatures.
Comfy accommodation, hearty homemade meals, and
