A SENSE OF LIVING GUARANTEED!

Horsing Around is a 5 week riding camp for adults or wanna-be “Cow-peeps”.

Are you ready to spend quality time with an amazing herd of horses, riding everyday, camping out with the steeds, moon-light riding, basically just being with horses and having fun! 

  • Short and long day rides
  • Full moon rides
  • Sunrise & sunset rides
  • Pub trots/crawls
  • Multi-day trails
  • Cow herding
  • Ground work and training
  • Yoga, meditations & dance

Costs

  • 5 Weeks R22 500.00pp = R4 500.00 per week
  • 4 Weeks R20 000.00pp = R5 000.00 per week
  • 3 Weeks R17 100.00pp = R5 700.00 per week
  • 2 Weeks R13 000.00pp = R6 500.00 per week

Please note: Week 5 is a 9 day period/week and we will do a 5 day / 150km ride to Katberg Eco-Golf Estate and Weylands Country House & Farm in Post Retief. The accommodation on that ride is rather pricey as it is more luxurious than usual. We therefore charge an extra surcharge of R2 500.00pp for that week’s ride.
