🐴 FREE STATE HORSE RIDING & TRAILS

Trail, Bush, Estate & School Rides

Riding across the Free State — trail and mountain rides, estate and farm outrides, riding schools and horseback bush and game safaris. Filterable by region and type.

💡 Most operators cater to beginners as well as experienced riders, but weight limits, minimum ages and helmet rules vary, and rides usually need to be booked ahead. Bush and game rides run to the reserve's own safety rules.
