There are a variety of different horseback riding adventures to chose from when deciding upon an equestrian vacation, which include everything from daily rides and multi-day cross-country treks to beach rides and dude ranches. Yet, it is the more advanced and ardent riders that are able to endure the long horseback excursions that last several days and often consist of long treks across a large area spanning many miles through various locales or environments.
Every day brings new adventure
Depending on the type of multi-day horseback adventure, there are a lot of different opportunities for a great experience that will leave you with memories of a worthwhile vacation. You may find yourself lodging at different facilities every night, which can include cabins, bunkhouses, ranches, inns, hotels, castles, and even outdoor camping sites, depending on the dynamics of your excursion. There are cross-country horseback tours that can cover great distances and take you through many different venues.
One of the great benefits of choosing a multi-day equestrian excursion is that it usually allows you to view new scenery and new places every day, experiencing the outdoors in a way that is special and meaningful. Many of these multi-day tours will take you into hard-to-reach places where it may be difficult or impossible to reach by vehicle. And often they will allow you to observe wildlife in their natural surroundings, examine archeological findings, or visit historical structures or places.
Special and custom multi-day treks
There are also multi-day equestrian treks designed to meet a wide variety of specific needs and interests, including some that have an educational, sports activity or recreational focus. This includes those that cater to photography, camping, fishing or other special desires. And many of these horseback riding tour companies will even customize an experience in order to meet the needs of specific groups that book an excursion together.
Many days, many miles, and new friends
Multi-day horseback vacations usually range from two to seven days, but there are some that last over two weeks. You will usually cover many miles each day and can even travel with your horse up to 12 miles a day or more, depending on the specific horseback excursion you select. Most multi-day horseback tours include at least six participants but can commonly consist of a dozen or more. This will allow you to meet people and make new friends. If you have the riding ability, endurance, and desire for a multi-day excursion, it far surpasses the single day trek in fun and excitement.
