Maybe you’ve dreamed of galloping across the plains of Africa next to a herd of zebras, or maybe you’ve always wanted to ride from one quaint inn to another across Ireland’s lush emerald fields. Believe it or not, whatever your horseback riding fantasy, there probably is an equestrian vacation awaiting you somewhere in this world.

Today’s horseback riding vacations run the gamut from dude ranches, where even a novice can find a horse to fit his riding abilities to all-day rides across terrain that would challenge even the most experienced rider, so it is important to really be honest with yourself about your abilities and what you hope to get out of your trip before booking your adventure.

If you are an occasional rider, try to find a dude ranch or horseback riding vacations rated as novice to beginner level. Most dude ranches have a large variety of horses that can suit just about anyone’s riding ability. Beginning riders may also be pleasantly surprised to find that there are quite a few novice horseback riding vacations being offered in other countries such as Bali, Germany and Costa Rica.

For experienced riders, the choices for destinations and types of riding adventures seem almost unlimited. There are rides currently available on every continent but Antarctica. Some horseback riding vacations are multi-day, roughing it, camping trips -- such as the one available in the wild steppes of Mongolia; whereas others allow a rider to trek from one beautiful lodging to another -- such as the castle to castle rides available in France. Even experienced riders, however, must decide whether they are truly up to being in the saddle all day for multiple days in a row.

So where do you find these horseback riding vacations? There are several websites and catalogs that specialize in horseback riding vacations. Equitours and Hidden Trails are both riding vacation specialists that have been around for many years and offer all kinds of adventures around the world. You can also do an internet search to find the small dude ranch near you that may not make it into one of the big catalogs. Lastly, ask any of your horse loving friends if they might have a place they can recommend to you.
