This right here is the picnic lunch locale on day 3 of our 7 night lodge trip in British Columbia, Canada. Not too shabby?

Meet Victoria Aguirre, an Argentinean married to an Australian, who has found a way to live harmoniously in both countries by photographing the animals of her childhood – horses.

Believe it or not, the majority of our globetrotters travel solo. I started my career as a single globetrotter and have made lifelong friendships born from hours upon hours of conversations in the saddle. Once you’ve completed one horse riding holiday as a single traveller, you’ll realise that it’s an absolute cinch and you’ll be […]

This image was captured on my most recent trip to the High Country in Victoria of our two guides, Lou and Swampy. The snow gums had been burnt in the 2006 bush fires that rushed through this mountainous region and now they stand burnt and silvered providing a startling backdrop for riding. We’re pretty excited […]

A perfect quote to start 2016. Oh yes, 2016, I’m ready for you, lock, stock and barrel. *This sunset blushed image was taken on my ALL-TIME favourite beach ride in Brazil, check it out here.

It’s only after snapping BILLIONS of images one-handed astride a horse that I’ve been able to master horse riding holiday photography. It’s undeniably hard to take focused, well-framed images when you’re in the saddle. But it’s not impossible! First, it comes down to your choice of camera. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a lover of […]

“I’m not going to lie to you Kate, this doesn’t look good.” These words hit me like a punch to the stomach. My vet, Tom Duggan, is a realist and at the time I was thankful for his honesty but completely taken by surprise that the situation was so grim. I was standing in a […]

For all of the globetrotters who have travelled to Africa you’ll understand that no truer words have been spoken than these by Mr Hemingway himself. This image was taken on our Maasai Mara ride in Kenya of our guide, Jakob Von Plessen.

Do you wear a watch? Ever since having children, I unfortunately have to keep a keen eye on the time every minute of the day. I’m SO in love with my watch which was a gift from my lovely sister. I’ve been admiring the classic and elegant design of The Horse time pieces on friends and strangers for quite […]

A horse riding safari through the Maasai Mara in Kenya is the most exhilarating off-the-field encounter a polo player could ask for. To shamelessly name drop, high goal polo player Eduardo Novillo Astrada is one of the many polo players who has galloped with the wildebeest in the Maasai Mara. #1 – Riding guests are […]

I feel completely lost when I don’t have a belt on when riding.  For me, I’m in love with these Argentinean gaucho belts. I discovered them when I first visited South America over ten years ago now and my original belt is still going strong. I now have a hefty collection of these gaucho belts in black […]

Hold onto your hats globetrotters! I’m so, so excited about this particular Fashion Friday recommendation. I’m a huge lover of hats and have a mighty collection that I’ve collected all over the world. My go-to Akubra has recently become too small for my head, go figure right? We’ve shared some wonderful adventures together but it’s […]

Universal travel adapters are nifty little gadgets that are a must-have for any globetrotter who has caught the travel bug and is jet-setting between time zones on a regular basis. From Kenya to Argentina to Japan, you’ll need a different power adapter for each country. For the savvy frequent flyers you’ll know all about this […]

Half-chaps are an essential item for any riding holiday if you wish to stay comfortable in the saddle and avoid blisters from pinching stirrup leathers. The benefit of half chaps compared to packing long boots is they are light and easy to travel when you’re travelling internationally. You can zip them off at lunch break and you […]

A poignant quote to start your Monday morning, globetrotters. The world of travelling is forever enriching and challenging me. And you? I’m curious to know about your ‘a-ha’ moments while wandering the world. This image was taken on our 19-day Khovsgol ride in Mongolia at the rural Naadam Festivities.
