When to do it

Horse riding tours run all year round. Spring and autumn are considered the best times for horse riding due to the mild temperatures and vibrant landscapes. Spring offers blooming flowers and lush greenery, while autumn showcases breathtaking autumn colours.

In summer, riders can enjoy longer daylight hours and clear skies, albeit with warmer temperatures. Winter provides a unique experience with snowy landscapes and a tranquil atmosphere.
