Enjoy our 1h30m Horse Trail at the historic Vrede en Lust Wine Estate, nestled in the foothills of the Simonsberg in South Africa’s most celebrated Franschhoek wine valley. A unique way to explore the area at a gentle pace allowing you to take in the breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. This trail is slightly longer and meanders under the oak trees through the vineyards of the working farm and along the river.

Please be sure to arrive at least 30 minutes before your time slot begins to ensure your indemnity is completed and you receive the safety briefing.
Any riders arriving late will forfeit time out of their booking. A minimum of 2 riders is required for a ride to go out. Group size limited to 15 riders. For larger parties, please contact us so we can accommodate your needs. No under 8’s on horses. This service is weather dependent.

We do not allow any rider over 95kg on a horse, or any rider over 110kg on a quad bike, and reserve the right to put a rider on a scale should we feel that they are over the weight limit. If you are over the weight limit when making the booking you will not be liable for a refund.
The Horse Drawn Carriage is a great option for persons over 100kg, but we do need to be notified in advance to ensure there is space on our carriage.

Therefore, we request that all riders have their hair in a practical hairstyle when coming for horse or quad bike riding as no one will be allowed out without a helmet.

A fantastic family experience! Stunning scenery and wonderful horse riding trainers. - Rensche
Excellent ride! The guides were incredibly professional and well versed, we went on a beautiful trail with insane views, the horses were impeccably behaved and we really enjoyed it! Wonderful experience! - Britt
We had a delightful and informative 1.5 hour trek with owner and niece. The horses were excellent choice as they were very steady and very friendly as we had never done horse riding before. The safety was paramount for the owner and instructed us well before and during the ride which made us relaxed and confident for our first ride. Lots of info on the area as we travelled around the area. Would certainly 100% recommend this experience no matter what level you ride at as their are lots of horses for trhe owner to choose for you depending on experience. Thank you both for a really enjoyable and relaxing ride around the area - ALISTAIR
