HORSE RIDING TOURS JORDAN

Important:
- Horses in Jordan are sturdy and tough but small in size and therefor the maximum weight we can and will accept for riders is 85 kilo / 187 pounds.
- We use English saddles, we know from experience that this is always a problem for people who have learned to ride in a western saddle only. Even experienced western riders have serious issues with balance.
- In the months of March, April, May, September, October and November our horses and guides are out on 6-day trail rides most of the time. In between rides our horses need to rest and eat so unfortunately we can’t schedule anything extra for them.

Day 1: Starting from the stable in Wadi Musa you ride up the mountain. During the ride you will have the view of Petra, Bedouin Village and Ammarin Village. You visit the old deserted village Al Hay from where you ride down in the direction of Little Petra. After lunch you continue deeper into Beida, the area around Little Petra. Camping under the stars.

Day 2: In the morning we ride back through the mountains to Little Petra. After lunch there is some time to relax before we continue our ride back to the stables.

We select our horses based on the information we receive from you, therefore it’s very important to be honest about your riding abilities. Only then we can select the right horse for you.
Horse riding is considered a ‘dangerous’ sport, despite all the safety measures we take, the expertise of the guide and the character of the horses we select there’s always a possible risk. 
Every rider is responsible for his or her own safety and if a rider is a danger to himself, to the horse or to other riders the guide has the right to take appropriate action. 
We will provide a riding helmet, riding without a helmet is at one’s own risk. 
Hereby we make you aware of the possible risks and the fact that the guide cannot be held responsible for any damages or accidents. Every rider needs to be sufficiently insured with regard to accident and illness.
