African Horse Co - Horses
|
African Horse Co trails through varying terrain. Distances of up to 45km a day will include beach,
dune and rugged mountain. Through fields of fynbos, up rocky slopes or galloping on the beach,
our horses need to be sure footed, fleet and enduring.
The horses range as a natural herd over 100 hectares of Mosaic Farm. Neither paddocked nor stabled, they are alert and in tune with their environment, thereby ideally suited for the type of trail that we undertake. Ranging from 15.5 to 16.5 hands, they will carry a weight up to 95kg over testing terrain. There are 16 working horses with varying temperament and speed. Horses are available for Beginners up to Advanced and Extreme riders.
Temperament varies from bombproof to lively allowing for proper matching of rider skill to horse. |
We are equipped with English Style tack. Saddles used are: General purpose English, Australian Stock, Universal military and Trail Riders. No Western available. Horses are ridden with snaffle bits. Hard Hats are provided for.
