European Horseback Holidays

The Grand Tour on Horseback

No roads in Europe can be traveled where horses haven’t traveled before - they may not all lead to Rome, but they all lead to stables somewhere. Whether you’re participating in an exciting equestrian event, like foxhunting in Ireland or attending a Doma Vaquera competition in Spain, or just trail riding across the countryside, the role horses have played in history here is undeniable, and visible at every turn. With so many countries to explore and different horses to choose from, where to start?
