Wilderness Camping Rides
- with vehicle support -
Wilderness horseback rides are for people who always wanted to ride horses, and see the most beautiful sites, like Yellowstone, Banff, Tsylos, Monument Valley, the Grand Canyon, the Rocky Mountains or the Snow Mountains in Australia – without the crowds!
The wranglers on our selected wilderness horse riding adventures will take you into some of the most breathtaking backcountry, away from the tourist hordes. On a wilderness ride, you will share in local knowledge, on a riding experience of a lifetime. Overnights are usually in tents with equipment transported by a support vehicle. On wilderness horseback riding holidays, you have the opportunity for some faster-paced horseback riding, compared to Pack Trips, which are generally slower.
