Equitours has a unique advantage in organizing and understanding these tours because the owners, Bayard, Mel and Richard have their own Wyoming dude ranch where they have offered horseback riding vacations since 1971. Our ranch raises and trains horses which gives us important insights into all aspects of a riding vacation. We ride personally with our guests nearly every day during our season and stay in close touch with their preferences and equestrian goals.

Adventure Travel on Horseback Has Many Advantages - We believe in equestrian travel as a way to practice a fascinating sport and at the same time to interact with a different culture and other peoples. You will find that a common love of the horse is very effective in forming bonds of friendship quickly with people all over the world. We travel in small groups to visit places which are often well off the beaten track and sometimes so far off that tourists are a curiosity. We can sip tea with the head man of a remote village in Rajasthan or drink ouzo with a Greek fisherman in an isolated Aegean village.

Equestrian Experience Required - It is of paramount importance in the enjoyment of a ride that candidates have the skills to do it safely at the pace intended. We make every effort to ensure that all riders are well matched to the ride and the difficulties are explained as clearly as possible. A horseback ride rated as advanced could be ruined by someone who gets frightened going beyond a slow canter when most in the group expect long gallops.

We encourage those who want to test and hone their equestrian skills to come to our remote ranch in the spectacular mountains of Wyoming for a horseback riding vacation. We have outstanding opportunties for trail riding and give lessons from certified instructors. We can accommodate riders at any level and have a broad range of horses and saddles. You could also begin with an easy adventure in France or Spain or take a smooth ride on one of our adventures on smooth gaited horses. Whatever program you choose you will find well qualified guides and instructors, appropriate equine friends and like minded companions.

Dressage Training - Dressage is fast gaining popularity in a world where open spaces no longer exist in much of the world. It is a sport which demands concentration and sensitivity. It challenges riders at many levels and is very helpful in mastering other equestrian disciplines. It is also an art which has enormous aesthetic appeal. Check out our outstanding programs for the most appropriate lessons.

For non-riding spouses or friends we have used the expertise gained in 30 years of riding adventures to put together some outstanding wildlife and cultural safaris in Kenya and India using vehicles instead of horses.
