Kaapsehoop Horse Trails

Kaapsehoop

Profile

Our trails run through rolling grasslands, pine forests
and along the edge of the breathtaking escarpment.

Even novice riders are at ease on our well-trained crossbred horses. Our dedicated team is always on hand offering guidance both before and during the outrides.
The experienced rider, meanwhile, will revel in the scenic, one-hour ride that will include both trotting and cantering.
Alternatively, you may opt for a longer ride (please see the options below).

The breeds used for our trails are mainly crossbred horses that include Boerperd-, Friesian-, and draught horse crossbreeds.
Kaapsehoop Horse Trails’ proprietor, Christo Germishuys, is an equine legend and gifted horseman. He pursues the natural horsemanship philosophy and his horses have excellent temperaments and are well-schooled. The horses are free-roaming, hence they’re never over-taxed.

Before you embark on your ride we will carefully match you according to your level of expertise, skill and physique (our weight limit is 95 kg).
You may choose to ride with either a trail saddle or an English saddle.
We recommend wearing long pants (like jeans) and closed shoes. Riding hats are compulsory and are provided.
