Our amazing Bali holiday..

WHO WANTS TO MAKE A SNAP DECISION AND JUMP ON A PLANE TO BALI WITH ME?!

You know that moment when you think, “Stuff it… why not?!”

Well, this could be THAT moment!

Forget months of planning, endless research and waiting for the “perfect time”. Sometimes you just need to grab your passport, throw your riding boots in a bag, pack your sense of adventure and JUMP ON THAT PLANE!

I’m heading back to PARADISE 🇮🇩 on September 25th for our incredible Bali riding adventure — and I would absolutely LOVE you to come with me!

This is a last-minute, grab-the-opportunity-and-go kind of trip. Perfect if Bali has been sitting on your bucket list and you’ve been saying “one day…”

Well… one day could be September 25th! 😜

And this isn’t just a riding holiday — it’s a whole Bali experience, with SO many extras included!

✨ Here’s what you get:
🏡 One night in a beautiful villa in Seminyak
🚐 Transfers from arrival to departure
🌴 Head into the heart of Bali, stopping for lunch at a gorgeous local café
🏖️ Stay in a private beach villa, with your own room and separate bathroom
🐴 Ride beautifully cared-for horses through the jungle, along the beach and behind the village
🍛 Most meals included — and they are seriously YUMMY!
💆‍♀️ A relaxing massage
👩‍🍳 A fun little Balinese cooking class
🤿 Island diving/snorkelling experience
🐠 Snorkelling right out the front of the villa
🏊‍♀️ Your own pool to relax beside
🍹 And plenty of time to relax, unwind and enjoy paradise!

💃 Want to bring your non-riding friend? Absolutely! They can do everything except the riding, so you can share the whole experience together.

🐎 Rider weight limit: 85kg.

And the best part?

You don’t have to figure it all out yourself. From the moment you arrive in Bali, we have you looked after.

This is our unique Active Riding Trips Bali experience — not something you can simply Google, piece together and book yourself. We’ve put the whole experience together, including all those wonderful extras that make it so special.

💰 Full itinerary, inclusions and pricing are on our website.
Prices on our website are in USD. Flights and travel insurance are not included.

🌴 September 25th — Bali is calling!

So, be honest…

Could you make a snap decision, grab your passport and jump on a plane with me?

Sometimes the best adventures are the ones you didn’t plan for!

WELL…

I put up a post about our AMAZING New Zealand ride 🇳🇿 and WOW… the enquiries came pouring in!

My eyes nearly fell out trying to keep up with all the comments and messages! But honestly… I can see why you’re all so excited.

A spectacular day in the saddle… breathtaking scenery… then back to your cosy accommodation to sink into the hot tub with a glass of chardie, looking out over those incredible mountains.

BUT NOW… LET’S TURN THE ADRENALINE UP!

INTRODUCING OUR BRAND NEW HUNT RIDE!

This one follows the proper English hunting tradition — horses, hounds, countryside, English-style pubs and that wonderful feeling of being part of something truly special.

And yes… there are jumps!

But before you panic…

If you're not quite ready to tackle the jumps, THAT'S OK!

You can still come along, soak up the atmosphere, enjoy the spectacular riding and experience the thrill of the hunt without having to launch yourself over anything that looks remotely scary! 😂

For those of you who ARE ready…

Well… you might want to make sure you've still got some teeth in your bum, because you're going to need to hang on! 🤣

This is for riders who want excitement, speed, adrenaline and a proper equestrian adventure.

And after all that action?

Picture yourself finishing the day, swapping riding stories over a drink in a proper English pub, just as the tradition intended.

AND HERE'S THE BEST PART…

Our fearless leader Stacey has JUST finished riding this adventure herself!

She has been there, ridden it, experienced it and come back with the inside scoop — and now she’s waiting for YOU to go and experience it!

This isn't just another ride we've found online.

We go. We ride. We experience it. We check it out.

Then we bring the adventure to you.

So whether you're thinking:

“HELL YES, WHERE DO I SIGN?”

or…

“Ummm… I'll admire the jumps from the safe side, thanks!” 😂

There’s a place for you.

🐎 Grab the reins.
🔥 Feel the adrenaline.
🍻 Follow the tradition.
🇬🇧 Enjoy the English pub experience.
💨 And if you're jumping… HANG ON TIGHT!

🐎🌎 WHY BOOK THROUGH ACTIVE RIDING TRIPS? 🌎🐎
Active Riding Trips Equestrian Vacations — because we’ve already done the hard work for you! 😉

We get asked sometimes… “Can’t I just book these places myself?”

Well, technically… yes! 😂

But here’s the thing — you won’t pay more by booking through us, and there are some pretty good reasons to let us take care of it for you.

Before we put a riding holiday on our website, we actually go there! 🙌

We don’t just look at pretty photos and think, “Yep, that looks nice!” 😂

We ride the horses 🐎
We stay in the accommodation 🛏️
We eat the food 🍽️
We check out the trails, scenery and surrounding area 🌴🏔️
And most importantly… we make sure it’s actually worth YOU travelling all that way for.

Some of our packages are also completely unique to Active Riding Trips — like our incredible Bali experience. 🇮🇩✨

We put the packages together, think about all those little details you might not even realise you need, and make sure everything is organised before you arrive.

And sometimes we can even arrange little extras that you wouldn’t necessarily get if you simply booked the standard package yourself. 😉

Then there’s the biggest bonus…

🛎️ YOU’RE NOT ON YOUR OWN!

If something goes wrong while you’re travelling, you have us to deal with it.

You booked through us?
We sort it out. 👍

If you booked everything yourself, you’re generally the one making the phone calls, sending the emails and trying to sort it out from the other side of the world.

And for some of our hosted trips — like Bali — we can even organise for you to tag along with us, which is perfect if you’re a solo traveller who is a little unsure about travelling alone. 🥰🌴

So yes… it’s a tough gig for us. 😂

We have to travel to amazing places, ride gorgeous horses, eat delicious food, stay in beautiful accommodation and check out spectacular destinations…

Someone has to do it! 🤣🐎🌎

But seriously, our job is to do the homework before you arrive, so you can simply turn up, saddle up and enjoy your holiday.

✨ Peace of mind.
✨ Expertly checked destinations.
✨ No extra cost to you.
✨ Someone in your corner if something goes wrong.
✨ And some experiences you simply can’t book anywhere else.

So… why wouldn’t you book through us? 😉

🌎🐎 DON’T JUST DREAM ABOUT YOUR NEXT RIDE.
MAKE IT THE ONE THAT CHANGES YOUR RIDING.

🌍🐎 AFRICA... THE ULTIMATE BUCKET LIST HORSE RIDING ADVENTURE OF A LIFETIME.

Some journeys change your passport.

This one changes your soul.

Close your eyes and imagine the first rays of sunrise spilling across the endless African wilderness. The air is crisp, the silence is broken only by birdsong, and your horse stands patiently beneath you, ears pricked, ready to take you into one of the most spectacular places on Earth.

Then it happens...

A herd of giraffes gracefully crosses your path.

Zebras gallop across the plains.

Elephants wander peacefully through the bush.

Antelope leap effortlessly through the golden grass, while the thrill of knowing Africa's incredible wildlife surrounds you fills every moment with excitement and wonder.

There is simply no other horse riding experience quite like Africa.

This isn't a holiday where you're looking through the window of a safari vehicle. You're experiencing Africa from horseback, becoming part of the landscape itself. It is exhilarating, humbling, emotional and breathtaking all at once.

Every day brings new adventures, incredible wildlife encounters, magnificent scenery and memories that will stay with you forever. After unforgettable days in the saddle, you'll return to beautiful accommodation, enjoy delicious meals, share stories around the table with like-minded adventurers, and fall asleep beneath spectacular African skies, already dreaming about tomorrow's ride.

This is about so much more than horse riding.

It's about stepping outside your comfort zone.

It's about reconnecting with nature.

It's about feeling truly alive.

It's about collecting moments that money simply cannot buy.

✨ We have just a couple of places remaining on this extraordinary African adventure with Active Riding Trips – Equestrian Vacations.

If Africa has been sitting quietly on your bucket list, waiting for "one day"...

Make "one day" today.

Because life isn't measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

🐘 Ride where wildlife roams free.
🐎 Experience Africa from horseback.
🌅 Witness unforgettable sunrises and sunsets.
❤️ Create memories you'll treasure for the rest of your life.

This is more than a holiday... it's a once-in-a-lifetime adventure you'll be talking about for years to come.
