About Us

Where it all began…

Our Story

Horseback Holidays Ltd was founded when Sarah moved to Africa on a horseback safari, leaving her job in the UK to start a new life filled with adventure, independence, and the freedom to travel. There, she met Amanda, the Operations and Horse Manager at Ant Africa Safaris, where Sarah now lives. Amanda, a skilled horsewoman with over 10 years of experience, was also seeking a new challenge.

After a life-changing trip to Iceland, we realized our shared passion for adventure and horses could be the foundation for something incredible. Our mission is simple: to create unforgettable horseback adventures around the world and connect like-minded people who share our love for freedom, wildness, and exploration.

Often, one or both of us will host our exclusive groups to our chosen destinations. We’re not afraid of wildness and take pride in handpicking groups that will get along, ensuring positive group dynamics. Many of our trips are invite-only, which allows us to create an unforgettable, personalized experience for everyone involved. We also offer ‘Ride Roulette,’ an annual mystery trip where the destination is a surprise until the last moment.
