Strong Intermediate Riders

The definition of a strong intermediate rider is: “An intermediate rider who is currently riding regularly and is comfortable in the saddle for at least 6 hours per day.”

With the solid skills of an intermediate rider, and being accustomed to riding regularly, the world is your oyster! Experience a horseback safari in Africa in on Botswana’s Tuli ride, ride in Rajasthan on Marwari horses, or along Spain’s Mediterranean coast. Choose the adventure of riding Mongolian horses over the remote steppe. You can tell us the destination or type of riding that you’re most interested in, and our ride consultants will be glad to give your recommendations.
