Horse Riding Holidays for Intermediate Plus Riders in South America

Intermediate Plus riders are ready to take their riding adventure to the next level. You have been riding for many years, are confident in the saddle and can comfortably control a fit, responsive horse at all paces. You enjoy spending longer hours in the saddle, exploring varied terrain and taking on rides that offer a little more challenge.

These riders are ideally suited to many of South America’s more adventurous horse riding holidays. From longer estancia trails and remote wilderness rides to mountain adventures and expedition style journeys, Intermediate Plus riders can experience some of the continent’s most spectacular landscapes from horseback.

You should be comfortable riding independently in open spaces, maintaining balance across uneven terrain and adapting to different conditions. South American riding holidays often take you far beyond traditional riding arenas, with trails crossing grasslands, forests, mountain paths and remote landscapes. You may encounter steep sections, river crossings, rocky ground and long stretches where confidence and good horsemanship are essential.

Many of our more technical rides involve several hours in the saddle each day, so riding fitness is important. You should be comfortable posting to the trot for extended periods, riding in a balanced two point position and maintaining control of your horse across changing terrain. The ability to stay relaxed and confident when faced with new challenges will help you get the most from your experience.

Our team will help match you with the perfect South American horse riding holiday for your ability and ambitions. Whether you are looking to ride further, explore wilder landscapes or experience the thrill of faster riding, these adventures offer an unforgettable opportunity to push your boundaries while enjoying incredible horses and scenery.
