Equestrian Experiences

Horse riding in the Cape Winelands is open to all skill levels. Pete's Horseriding in Stellenbosch operates on a 240-hectare wildlife reserve, where rides pass zebra, springbok, eland, gemsbok, kudu, giraffe, wildebeest, bontebok and a range of bird life. Spectators have a separate option in polo at Val de Vie. This works for guests who prefer to watch rather than ride, and it makes a social afternoon rather than a physical one. Both are off-estate excursions, so allow travel time in the day plan. The riding suits guests who want a morning outdoors between wine tastings, and the wildlife reserve gives the ride more character than a simple vineyard trail.
