Klein Karoo Horse Adventures

Klein Karoo Horse Adventures Horse riding adventures on scenic routes in & around the farm and the surrounding veldt on our fantastic horses. Riders of all skill levels welcome.

Book for 1 hour outrides, day rides inclusive of picnics or multi day rides inclusive of a bed & meals. Doornkraal has always had horses. We have relied on them for the many generations and the 140 years that this farm has been in care of the Le Roux family. And although horses are not used any more in the daily farming activities, they remain loved and trusted companions. We highly value a good temperament, willingness and kindness towards people in a riding horse. Therefore DOORNKRAAL HORSES are carefully selected from various bloodlines of South African horses that was bred for local conditions - the legendary Cape Riding Horse, Boerperd and Nooitgedachter and known for their outstanding temperament, versatility, riding comfort and sure-footedness. The routes we have selected was done so to introduce riders to the breathtaking and unspoilt Klein Karoo landscape. Duration of rides are from 1½ hours to multi day guided adventures. We accommodate riders of all ages and skill levels. What are you waiting for?

“You arrive as a guest, but leave as part of the family.”

“Breathtaking scenery, true South African hospitality, and the most wonderful horses. An experience never to forget.”

“Climbed over the Kamanasie mountain, through pristine fynbos, down into Garden Route pasture lands, over the Outeniqua range, through indigenous forest, onto the coast. Definitely to be repeated ❤️”

“A trip that made me feel incredibly proud to be South African …in awe of our own country and its people.”

Some days on Doornkraal feel borrowed from another century. Like a dream. Or even a painting.

The Swartberg and the Kammanassie got dressed in snow this week. The veld has been beaming with yellow flowers, and the mares are carrying new life. There is something about the quality of the air, a crisp promise felt.

This is why we choose the Klein Karoo, over and over. And this is why we bring you Klein Karoo Horse Adventures. Not to go somewhere, but to be here, properly, unhurriedly, in a landscape that has been here long before any of us and will still be here, long after we are gone.

You always have a chance to be in awe with nature, even when she isn’t trying. Today the seasons are turning. The winter is still calling.

When is your next ride? 🐴🌿​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The best thing you’ll book with your girls this August.
Picture this: saddle bag snacks and sips packed, 6+ hours in the saddle each day through the untouched Klein Karoo, where the early flowers are already out. The last of the winter sun on your face. Slow evenings, good food, real laughter and home-cooked meals. And a hot tub under a moon that has no business being that good.

Stof & Sterre, where adventure meets you in the saddle.

Grab your girls. Only a few saddles left. 🐴

Die skade was groot, maar die skoonheid skyn immer deur.

Min woorde kan beskryf wat jy raaksien op die rug van n perd, sonder mense rondom jou en genoeg tyd om alles om jou in te neem.

Die poort was nog altyd indrukwekkend, en dit is nogsteeds pragtig. So na die vloede en sonder ’n pad vir motors, was die perde in hul element. Deur puin en vloeiende water, sonder om eers te huiwer.

Wat die geslote poort vir De Rust gaan kos, het nie dramatiese beskrywing nodig nie. Dit is eenvoudig die werklikheid van ’n klein dorpie waar die pad na die buite wêreld hoofsaaklik deur berge loop.
Met dit gesê, nooi ons jou steeds uit om te kom kuier. Vat die lang pad, bly ’n ekstra aand. Die Klein Karoo vergoed altyd die moeite.

’n Nota oor paaie: George na Oudtshoorn is oop, en van George deur die Karoo is steeds moontlik deur Willowmore, verby De Rust.

Die Meiringspoort en die perde wag op julle aankoms. 🐴

Somewhere in the mountains above De Rust, there is a view that will rearrange your priorities. You have to earn it on horseback. It is entirely worth it.

Book the trail.
