Horses:
Creole Horses and several other cross-breads (as American Pinto, Andalusian, Anglo-Arab, Paso Fino, Polo Horse), all very well trained, sure-footed and forward going. Some very relaxed, others very lively. Sizes 1,40m to 1,65m. English and Western tack available. Required riding level intermediate to advanced on the longer trail rides. Beginners can participate on one- and two-day-rides.
Equipment for the trail rides
We will be crossing different climate zones and the temperature on the Equator drops steeply at sundown. Calculate a temperature variation between 5 and 30 degrees Celsius. Both light and warm clothes are therefore a must.
The best equipped wear light, long-sleeved tops during the day
(these provide protection from sun and insect bites, too).
A sweatshirt, pullover or fleece jacket are required for the cooler parts.
Furthermore you should bring a jacket (Gore-Tex or similar),
rain gear, a hat with brim, swimming suite, small towel, flip-flop shoes
and riding/trekking boots with a good grip.
Wellington boots are available for use,
which are better suited to the short marches on foot than proper riding boots.
Don't forget your insect repellent, sun cream, sunglasses, bandanna,
camera and torch/flash-light.
For your personal belongings during the ride,
we recommend you to bring a fanny-pack or bum-bag.
The luggage that travels with us in the car should be packed light,
and should be stored in soft bags.
Note: ItÂ’s always recommendable to ride with a helmet; if you want to do so, please bring yours with you in order to suit you perfectly.
