What’s my next step
What trip is right for you? These answers might help:
-
Do you like a more leisurely trip with more time to hang out, explore the area, have extra time to meditate, chat or chill?
-
Then come Riding in Tuscany or Hiking in the Cotswolds!
-
-
Do you like a more adventurous trip with a lot of time in the saddle?
-
Then come to Montenegro or Wales!
-
-
What level of horse riding experience do I need before I arrive?
-
Tuscany – mid beginner through advanced. You’ve had some time in the saddle, but you don’t ride much or haven’t ridden in a long time. You can steer your horse, know some basic body language and feel stable in the walk and trot.
-
Montenegro – low intermediate through advanced. You feel comfortable in a walk, trot and canter and have some experience with varied terrain.
-
Wales – mid intermediate through advanced. You can control your horse in a walk, trot, canter and short gallops in varied terrain.
-
-
What level of fitness do I need before I arrive?
-
During our hiking in Cotswolds trip, we will walk on bridle paths and through fields, hills and woods for 5-7 miles a day. A walking routine and leg exercises for several months beforehand will be important for your enjoyment.
-
For all horse riding trips, you should have a level of fitness to suit the ride, including time in the saddle and core exercised to support your back.

Thank you, Trish! I’m still in awe from our magical horseback riding trip across Western Ireland. You brought your infinite horse whispering wisdom to our six-day ride across emerald pastures and along ancient rock walls and ruins. It was a fantastic experience both on and off the trail.
I had the great pleasure of taking a trip on horseback through part of the beautiful countryside of Spain with Joy rides. Trish had every detail taken care of and then some. The outfit we rode with was phenomenal, the places we stayed were phenomenal, the horses we rode were phenomenal and the people that were in our group of riders were phenomenal.
Did I mention that everything was phenomenal?
If you are looking for an adventure on horseback, whether you are an advanced rider or a casual rider, Joy Rides has a trip for you!
I’m beyond thankful for the opportunity to share in your love for horses and to experience again your deep gift for facilitating a spiritual and healing relationship with those magnificent creatures. I thought our time together in Austin was great, but Durango was a complete “above and beyond” experience!
My time in Argentina was the most wonderful I’ve had since I was 28 years old (now I’m 73!), where all was possible and love of friends could be found.
