T's&C's:

Outrides are weather permitted.

Weight limit of 85kg per person

A certain level of fitness is required as guests will have to walk down to the office from their cabin to meet the horses and then again back to their cabin from the orchards where the picnic will be served. The total walking distance is less than 1km in total.

Guests have the option of enjoying their picnic in the orchards or the comfort of their own home after the outride. Kindly advise which one you prefer.

Long pants and closed shoes are mandatory for the outride.

Please respect our guides and listen to their instructions. Our guides are very experienced riders and our horses are well behaved and used to working with children and novice riders, but not listening to instructions can lead to injury.

Please book at least 2 days in advance
