Riding a horse is one of those experiences that should be on every childhood bucket list. So we’ve compiled this collection of inspiring spots around the world for an equestrian adventure for kids, from toddlers to teens (even adults too!).

There’s a range of experiences to cover all levels of interest and ability, from the Changing Of The Guard in London (requiring only an onlooker’s eye) to a swashbuckling South American vacation where you’ll be galloping with the finest gauchos. We also head around the world so that no matter where you live, there is one in your own backyard. Some we have visited personally, so you can read a full review for these destinations… others have been recommended by trusted industry insiders, so we’ve included some key information you’ll need: a Yearling guide to indicate the minimum rider’s ages, the Pace of the riding experience and the Stables where you’ll stay. So get ready to buckle up for the ride of your child’s life…
