  • The Krka Trail
    July 2024 BRIDGET aged 57
    I feel so fortunate to have found this journey through Equus Journeys. I said at the beginning that I planned to have the best time ever - and I did. It was the itch I needed to scratch and, if they'll have me, plan to do it again with my husband early in 2025 when the heat is less likely to be so extreme. I rode... Read all

    June 2024 Heather aged 45
    I rode Lilly and she was perfect for me. I was also impressed with how well the horses are cared for and their overall condition. This ride is challenging for the horses and I have so much respect for how they handled everything, from climbing mountains to galloping, to walking through any obstacle.
