Different riders. A shared adventure.

One beginner, one experienced rider?

A private Barbados ride can bring you together at a pace that feels comfortable for the less experienced rider; if one of you would also love a more challenging outing, we can ask the local host about a separate option before making plans.

One of you prefers time out of the saddle?

Zimbabwe welcomes non-riders too, with natural horsemanship, bush walks and other activities available within the programme, so your time together can extend beyond the rides. We check the activities and arrangements for your dates.

Tell us what matters to you both.

Share your dates, each person’s riding experience and your budget for two. We check availability and suitable options with the local host, then send a written proposal with your accommodation, inclusions, extras and total price clearly set out.
