Globetrotting - Horse Riding Holidays

LOVE TO RIDE? LIVE TO TRAVEL?
🏇 Welcome to the world of Globetrotting.
🌎 We're the world's horse riding holiday specialists. Welcome to Globetrotting!
(2)

We’re a travel agency devoted to horse riding holidays and unique cultural horse experiences the world over. We have personally tested every ride we offer, enabling us to match rides with riders' abilities and budgets. Our colourful portfolio of horse riding holidays spans 24 countries and counting, including Australia, Mongolia, Kenya, Botswana, Chile, Argentina, Japan, New Zealand, the USA, Spain, France, Iceland and Canada. We’re constantly researching new countries and rides to make sure that we have the best selection of horse riding holidays and safaris on offer. You won't find the same riding holiday at a lower price through another agency or direct with the supplier: this we swear. But if by some strange turn of events you do, we will refund the difference - how's that for peace of mind? Globetrotters see places, encounter cultures and meet people revealed only to those willing to travel off the beaten track on the back of a horse. They see the world through a horse’s eyes and ears, and discover travel that is slower and more enriching

We believe the rides featured in our portfolio are the bees’ knees of horse riding safaris globally and each is unique. But they all feature intelligent horses, cultural spice, shifting and challenging landscapes, colourful characters, gobsmacking foreign wildlife and a pinch (okay, sometimes a handful!) of adrenaline. They are remarkable horse properties run by passionate people who truly understand what horse people look for in a riding holiday. While we have formed close relationships with the hosts who offer these horse rides, we also remain independent and will give you honest and impartial advice about which ride will suit you best. Since we don’t run the holidays ourselves, we’re free to share our unbiased, genuine opinion of them. We can also advise on flights, travel insurance, visas, transfers, accommodation and suggested travel itineraries for before or after your horse riding holiday. So that’s us. We just love what we do. And whether a horse riding holiday is on the radar for the end of the year or in a decade, we don’t mind! We hope we can feed your wanderlust, inspiring you to take the leap and become a globetrotter. When that day comes, we will welcome you warmly. Kate Pilcher

'I’m still having a hard time adjusting back to normal life after my Scottish Border Ride... I felt more like a dream than real life. Of all the rides, the final common ride was my favourite; it was a core memory moment for me. The ride was through the beautiful Lauder countryside, riding with over 200 horses and people. As a history lover, I felt like I became part of history, and it brought a tear to my eye.' - Megan W, United States 🇺🇸

Tales to inspire ✨ - ‘From the first hello to the final farewell, this trip was an absolute dream. The accommodations were spectacular, the team was so kind, the food was delicious and every single day was better than the last. I loved this ride so much I booked it again for next year on the second day. It was honestly one of my most special and favorite trips I have ever experienced and I am a very seasoned traveller! I cannot wait to be here again. I might make it a yearly trip!’ 🐴❤️ - Courtney W.

😊 How about an impromptu vacay?
Before the Christmas-crazy kicks in…

Hurry and grab one of 8 spots on our 𝗧𝘄𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲, 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗭𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱
November 19 - 23, THIS YEAR.
This itinerary is for intermediate to advanced riders

🏇 Go on - knock yourself out with canters across deserted white sand beaches,
Fly across rolling green farmland and through ancient kauri trees
In one of the prettiest pockets of the far north of New Zealand.

It’s riding your horse across vast sand dunes
🌊 Then riding headlong into the ocean.

And believe me, it’s well worth crossing oceans for, globetrotters!

If planning is more your style
2027 dates are open!

💕 With two itineraries up for grabs:
𝗧𝘄𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲, and our more chilled 𝗧𝘄𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗘𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗲.
We have an option for every rider! 🥳

Adventure without the camping? We've got you. 🐎🏔️🍷

Our 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗮 𝗟𝗼𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗿, 𝗔𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗮 is for those who want to experience the wildness of Patagonia, without the tents.

Spend your days riding locally bred Criollo horses alongside Argentine gauchos, crossing vast landscapes and dipping into a culture where the connection between horse, human and land runs deep.

Then?

Head back to one of two beautiful lodges.

Think cosy beds, hot showers, long lunches, afternoon siestas and a very good glass of Argentine wine. 🍷

And with just two April 2027 departures now released, this might just be your sign to stop saying 'one day' and make Patagonia happen.

Who's in?

Ps. All abilities are welcome on this one! 🥳

I have a VERY important question for you, globetrotters.

What’s the BEST by-product of a Globetrotting ride?!
For me?

It’s the brilliant humans you collect along the way. 💗 At any age and stage of this BIG life.

Some of my deepest friendships have been born from Globetrotting rides.
It starts off with the trivia - ‘Where are you from?’ ‘How long have you been riding?’
And a day later you’re LOVING on a bunch of horse-mad souls from every corner of the globe! 🥰

👇 So tag the glorious humans you’ve collected on your Globetrotting ride/s. Maybe the ones you’re plotting another ride with...

‘But I’d be going on my own…’

GOOD.

Come solo. You won’t stay solo for long. You’ll meet THE coolest people ever.

And those friendships may be the best thing you take home… 💗🐴
