Food is one of the great joys of any horse riding holiday, whether it’s a hearty lunch after a morning in the saddle or a warm meal shared around a camp table as the sun goes down. We want every single guest to feel well looked after, including those with dietary requirements, restrictions and allergies.…
It’s time to introduce you to Tiffany Gale, the incredible horsewoman behind The Shoalhaven Ride on the beautiful South Coast of New South Wales, Australia. A lifelong lover of horses, fine dining and world-class wine, Tiffany started up her riding business after being utterly inspired by her experience on our horse riding holiday in Tasmania…
For many of our globetrotters booked on The Snowy River Ride, a visit to Living Legends in Melbourne might be on your agenda either before or after your trip. Here are some background details about what you can expect from your visit to this fantastic centre. Based at Woodlands Homestead in Woodlands Historic Park, Living…
Ok globetrotters, I have to make a confession. You are no doubt aware of my opinion of jodhpurs (if you aren’t familiar with it, click here and you will soon understand), and my refusal to ride in anything except my bombachas. Well, a friend of mine suggested I try Kerrits, and I have to be honest,…
Well it’s taking some time, but I am slowly becoming a jodhpur convert. Don’t get me wrong, I will always, I repeat ALWAYS, love riding in my Argentinean bombachas and will continue to do so most of the time. But every so often it’s nice to change things up a bit and thanks to advice…
So when you’re out of the saddle of an evening, you’ll want some lightweight shoes that you can slip on around the campfire or for the walk to the dining area. While thongs (or flip flops) are good, what happens if it’s raining and muddy or you step on a thorn in Africa? That’s why…
If you want to take the stress out of packing for your globetrotting adventure, making sure nothing is forgotten and that you can always find what you need when you need it, I’ve got a hot tip for you – use TRAVEL PACKING CUBES! Yep, a trusty globetrotter has recently brought these nifty little critters…

Let me ask you two questions globetrotters: Are you booked on our Glenorchy Back Country Ride in New Zealand or Big Horn Cattle Drive in America? Or are you coming to Iceland with us this year? And do you LOVE a hot cuppa as you’re munching away on your delicious saddlebag packed lunch after a…
Hey Globetrotters, I wanted to introduce you to the wonderful Jess Chapman who runs Chapman Valley Horse Riding just north of Sydney in the Hunter Valley. We met Jess at Equitana Auckland late last year and were blown away with
Packing for a horse riding holiday can be stressful enough (although we try to make it as easy as possible for you – check out our ultimate packing list HERE), let alone having to try and figure out what sort of bag you should pack into. There’s nothing worse than trying to lug a heavy…
We all know it and we all dread it. Chafing. That red raw pain from a day in an unfamiliar saddle or even under your arms from sweat (believe me that is not fun). Now I know what you may be thinking… “I have never had chafing” and I can safely say it is better…
A pair of gloves is a packing essential, Globetrotters, especially if you’re heading on a cold-climate ride – think The Scottish Borders Ride, Castle & Estate Ride, Icelandic Wilderness Expedition, The Patagonia Trail, Rocky Mountains Ride, Mongolia, Glenorchy Back Country Ride, Big Horn Cattle Drive, etc. Sealskinz Ultra Grip Gloves come highly recommended by your…
Jeans make great travel companions, even better if they’ll hold up to a day of horse riding and still look good enough to wear out to dinner or sightseeing! The trick to horseback holidays is to make our luggage work hard for us, and when there’s riding gear taking up precious space and weight, we…
