Short horse rides in the mountains of Petra

HORSE RIDING TOURS JORDAN

HORSE RIDES IN THE MOUNTAINS AROUND PETRA

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 … when you fill out the form we expect you to be as honest as you would be if you went bungee jumping ! :-)
- We use English saddles, we know from experience that this is always a problem for people who have learned to ride on a western saddle only. Even experienced western riders have serious issues with balance on English saddles.

During the 3 hour horse ride we take you up the mountain, you will have stunning views over a part of Petra, Bedouin Village, Ammarin Village and Little Petra. The terrain is mountainous and rugged and our horses are very forward going so you definitely need to have horse riding experience.

We select our horses based on the information we receive from you, therefore it’s very important to be honest about your riding abilities and your weight. 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.
