GLOBETROTTERS

*Update* – as of January 2022, our wonderful ride partners in Japan have decided to enjoy a well-earned retirement and are no longer offering horse riding holidays. We  are very excited for the world to open up so we can find and road test another stellar trip in this unique destination! Globetrotters Laura and Meredith […]

It’s time for you to meet the wonderful Susan Wettenhall, a first-time globetrotter who recently ticked off a very special item on her bucket list… riding in the footsteps of the Man from Snowy River and visiting Craig’s Hut! As Susan describes it, horses are her life, and what better way to enjoy it than […]

Clare Dingle rode on The Grape Horse Adventure (sadly no longer available) in the beautiful Barossa Valley, South Australia. Known for its world class wines, the Barossa is a haven for foodies and wine lovers with spectacular riding trails to boot. Read on to hear Clare’s thoughts.

We couldn’t keep this one to ourselves, globetrotters! Anne Cowell recently had the experience of a lifetime on her horse riding holiday in Shell, Wyoming. From the very first moment she met the ranch staff, Anne knew this would be a trip to remember. And although her husband had taken a little convincing, not being […]

Shanti would probably call it fate, but luck was definitely on her side when she decided to book The Patagonia Trail ride in Argentina. Her incredible experience has made her want to join the Globetrotting team and look into offering horse riding adventures in Australia herself. Her passion is evident in her responses below. What […]

This dynamic family just brings a smile to my face every single time I think of them! The wonderful Mclachlans, or ‘Team Macca’ as they affectionately named themselves, rode on our Tassie Tiger Trail (sadly no longer available) and it is safe to say there were many memories made that will stay with them forever. […]

Alana Dyer is adamant that The Rainbow Beach, Bush & Cattle Ride in Queensland, Australia was the best holiday she has ever had! It’s feedback like this that keeps us going, globetrotters, and we just had to share it with you all. If you’ve been thinking about signing up for this ride, or if you […]

Emma Heath recently travelled to Kenya to experience the Maasai Mara ride for herself, and she could never have imagined the world she discovered there!

Monica Foster is a die-hard globetrotter who never misses a chance to explore a stunning part of the world from the back of a well-trained horse.

Just recently we had the pleasure of meeting Fanny Michaud, who joined us on our globetrotting adventure through Tasmania – The Tassie Tiger Trail [edit: sadly no longer available]. We shared some yarns over wine, cheese and chocolate-coated raspberries (yum!) and I wanted to give you the chance to meet her as well! Fanny will […]

Horses have always played a huge role in Debbie McKenzie’s life. In fact, they have taken her all around the world, not just on globetrotting adventures but also for work! She has been fortunate enough to train horses in Spain, lead horse rides along the beach in North Devon, groom Hanoverians in Germany and exercise […]

For globetrotter Lauren Cromb, her first horse riding holiday was a treat to celebrate what she termed her ‘funemployment’, a time to enjoy some much needed R&R after working the fly-in fly-out lifestyle for so many years. And fun she did have, with Globetrotting’s superstar guides Laura and Christian Hayes on the Craig’s Hut and […]

After talking about riding in the South Island of New Zealand for a while, Kate Lattey and her sister finally got around to doing something about it and joined us on the Glenorchy Back Country ride. And we’re so glad they did! Throughout her life, Kate has never been far away from horses and her […]

Answer me this, globetrotters: when do you ever get to do something that is just for yourself? I’m talking choosing to do something because YOU want to do it, not because a friend or family member has suggested it and wants to go with you, but because you are treating yourself for all your blood, […]

On the second day of her first ever Globetrotting adventure, the Tassie Tiger Trail [edit: sadly no longer available], Laura White discovered something: her eyes had been opened wide to the incredible world of travel on horseback. And the story gets better: that same day, she jumped onto our website again and booked herself on […]

So my wonderful tribe of globetrotters, here’s Carolyn’s story about how horses have […]

She might be a late starter when it comes to the horse riding world, but Oi Yee has well and truly made up for it! Since the very first time her backside touched a saddle Oi Yee has refused to get off, and joined us on her debut Globetrotting adventure on the Howqua River Ride. […]

From the sound of Sue’s first experience with horses – an extremely naughty little Shetland pony – it’s amazing that they became a huge part of her life. Now she is combining her love for riding with her love for travel and has joined our globetrotting tribe by completing her debut horse riding holiday on […]

Culture? Tick. Freedom? Tick. Adventure? Tick. Adrenaline? Tick. It seems ‘the bigger the better’ is the philosophy when it comes to choosing a horse riding holiday for globetrotter Desiree Charlesworth. Des is one of our most loyal globetrotters and as with many, once she got started she couldn’t stop. Addicted to the world of horse […]

Sometimes when you read what someone has written you think to yourself, “Yes, that’s exactly how it is, I couldn’t have put it better myself.” Well, I got that feeling when reading Anne’s responses to our ‘Meet a Globetrotter’ questionnaire so I’m just going to go right ahead and let her do the talking. Her […]

Glenda Johnston is a keen globetrotter with a yearning for the freedom and adventure that comes from exploring foreign places and lands on the back of a horse.
