horse trekking

Mounted trail journey

Horse trekking is recreational horseback riding over extended distances, typically through countryside, mountains, or wilderness areas.

Unlike arena riding or short trail rides, horse trekking involves multi-hour or multi-day journeys, often with overnight camping or lodge stays along the route.

The activity emphasizes experiencing natural landscapes at a horse's pace rather than developing equestrian skills.

We spent a week horse trekking through the Scottish Highlands.
