Saddle Creek Ranch offers horseback riding with a difference,
riding western style on well trained, obedient and calm trail horses, with various rides in to the bushveld and mountain foothills.

All the rides are accompanied by the owners and trained staff.
For the beginner the emphasis is on a safe, relaxed and enjoyable ride on horses that will not “run away” with you.
The experienced rider can choose a more “spirited horse”
for a lively, exhilarating ride.

We are aware of clients past bad experiences with horses that are difficult to control and for that reason we are careful to “match”
rider and horse, taking into account their past riding experience.
Before leaving all the inexperienced riders will have the basic horse commands explained to them and trail guide/staff member
will be close to them throughout the ride
