Ride through Franschhoek vineyards at Vrede en Lust with calm horses, mountain views, expert guides, and useful tips for beginners.

“This was such a special experience and one of the highlights of our time in Franschhoek. I had never ridden a horse before, and the rest of our group were beginners too, but from the very start the guides made us feel completely at ease. The briefing was thorough and reassuring, and it was immediately clear how experienced they were and how well they knew their horses. The horses themselves were absolutely lovely; calm, gentle, and clearly very well cared for which made such a difference for first-time riders. Riding through the vineyards was breathtakingly beautiful, and the pace was perfectly suited to our confidence levels, allowing us to relax…”

Her horses are excellently trained and very obedient. The scenery is breathtaking. Do not hesitate to book this. It is the best way to see the beautiful countryside and very relaxing. We plan to do it again; we loved it so much.”
