European Horseback Holidays
The Grand Tour on Horseback
No roads in Europe can be traveled where horses haven’t traveled before - they may not all lead to Rome, but they all lead to stables somewhere. Whether you’re participating in an exciting equestrian event, like foxhunting in Ireland or attending a Doma Vaquera competition in Spain, or just trail riding across the countryside, the role horses have played in history here is undeniable, and visible at every turn. With so many countries to explore and different horses to choose from, where to start?
Iceland
Discover the land of Fire and Ice on horseback, exploring black sand beaches, volcanoes and lava fields, glaciers and geysers, waterfalls, and other landscape marvels.

England
There is no better way to explore the landscape where the English have been foxhunting for hundreds of years than by joining a trail hunt in the countryside!

A combination of great rides, fine wine, gourmet dining, and great company.
