Horse Riding on the Cape Peninsula

Cape Town is a paradise for runners, hikers and bikers (both the motorised and the manual varieties). Cape Town and the region has many Cape Town horse trails so take time out to experience a horseback riding adventure on the beach or mountain path. Experienced or beginner, there are horses and instructors that will take you on rides all around the Cape. There is nothing quite like galloping through the waves along the beach, the spray in your face and the wind in your hair.
