Horses and adventures can be found on every continent, but temperaments and temperatures are not the same throughout the world. First, pick between deserts, rainforests, and savannahs, then pack accordingly and trot off to meet your new adventure companion.
Zimbabwe. A sanctuary to Africa’s Big Five animals, Zimbabwe offers travelers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to travel through a landlocked country that is home to some of the most fascinating and rare animals on Earth. There are several ways to horseback ride through Zimbabwe, but one of the most interesting is to sign up for a horseback riding internships or safari (or gallop) through one of the national parks.
Australia. A continent of its own, Australia features amazing wildlife and natural landscapes. Whether it’s riding with a herd of kangaroos or trekking out to Ayer’s Rock, Australia is one of the top places to go horseback riding abroad. With a strong tradition of cattle herding in the Outback, travelers have a lot of opportunities to not only trek via horseback into the hinterland, but also to work on ranches with local Australians. Smother on some sunblock and make your way down under!
Nepal. Have you ever heard of the “ceiling of the world”; mountains so high it feels almost as if they’re reaching into space? Welcome to Nepal. One of the best ways to trek through the towering Himalayas is via horseback. The highest mountains are only accessible by foot or helicopter, but there’s plenty of other guided treks through wilderness, traditional communities, and tucked-away temples to clop through.
Mongolia. Not only Genghis Khan can have fun galloping through Mongolia. Whether you start you horseback riding tour in the iconic steppes of the east, the Gobi desert of the south, or the wildflower-packed fields and forests of the north, Mongolian hospitality will keep your tummy full and your face smiling.
