Horse riding holidays - The best destinations.

What do you look for when you go on a horseback riding holiday? Nowadays, there are so many alternatives available that you just need to be sure you choose a place that meets your standards.

Maybe you want to go on a family holiday to a place where you know that the facilities available will suit every member of your family, from the oldest to the youngest. Finca los Tigres, in Andalucia (Spain) is one of those places where there are numerous activities to choose from.

If you love beautiful landscapes and trail riding, you can try one of thousands of guest and dude ranches available in the US and Canada. I would suggest Running-R Guest Ranch in Texas or the Red Reflet Guest Ranch in Wyoming where you can get the feeling of a real working ranch but also enjoy the luxury of the most comfortable guest ranches.

In Africa you can also find real adventure!... Have you heard of riding safaris? Surely two of the best organisers are in South Africa: Der Kap Ritt (Riding the Cape) and Ant's Nest & Ant's Hill. Here you can be within few feet from wild animals but also find the most exquisite wild flowers!

If you can not travel without luxury...well...you also have several options. See for example Hotel Resort Tolder in the Italian Tyrol where after a couple of hours riding on the most beautiful Dolomites countryside, you can relax in a first class Spa and then have a meal prepared by a top-chef...

So what is your favourite horseback riding holidays destination?
