Horse Safaris For Advanced Riders

Advanced riders are ready for the ultimate South American horse riding adventures. You have spent many years in the saddle, may have owned your own horse, competed or hunted, and are confident riding a variety of horses in different environments.

These adventures are designed for experienced equestrians who are looking for a true challenge. You enjoy long days in the saddle, faster riding and exploring remote landscapes where excellent horsemanship, fitness and confidence are essential. From the wild valleys of Patagonia to high mountain passes and untouched wilderness trails, these rides offer some of the most rewarding horse riding experiences in South America.

Advanced riders should be balanced and independent in the saddle, confident at all paces and comfortable adapting to different horses and riding styles. You should be able to maintain control and a secure position across uneven terrain, steep sections and changing conditions. Some rides involve technical trails, long distances and remote environments where good judgement and experience make all the difference.

Mountain expeditions require an additional level of confidence. Some routes travel through high altitude landscapes, across narrow trails and over dramatic mountain passes with incredible views and steep drops. Riders should feel comfortable with heights and exposed terrain, as these experiences are a big part of what makes riding in the Andes and Patagonia so unforgettable.

Many advanced horse riding holidays involve six or more hours in the saddle each day, so riding fitness is essential. You should be comfortable with extended periods of trotting, riding in a balanced two point position and managing a horse confidently over varied terrain. These adventures are about working with your horse as a team and embracing the freedom of travelling through some of the world’s most spectacular landscapes.

South America rewards experienced riders with unforgettable moments. Imagine cantering across endless Patagonian plains, climbing remote mountain trails, crossing rivers on horseback and reaching places that few travellers will ever see.

Our team will help you choose an adventure that matches your experience and riding goals. For those who are ready to push their limits, South America offers extraordinary horses, breathtaking scenery and some of the most exciting riding in the world.
