With international travel looking to be on hold for the near future thanks to the coronavirus pandemic, this summer may be the perfect time for you and your horse to go on a staycation.
Here are some great ideas for horse friendly holidays that will give you and your horse some well-deserved bonding time.
Go Glamping
Glamping has never been more popular. It combines the fun of getting back to nature with some of the creature comforts we all love. As the glamping market continues to boom, more and more sites offer stabling facilities so that you can bring your horse with you. This is an excellent way to spend some quality time with your horse, relaxing and exploring new areas.
Take Your Horse For A Spa Day
This is a fantastic way to treat you and your horse to some pampering. There are a number of specialist spas out there that cater to horses and riders. You could consider taking your horse to one of these after a long trek or workout to give you both some time to relax and feel your best.
From massages to water therapy, there are so many luxury experiences that you could treat your horse to. This is particularly beneficial for older horses or horses with injuries. Whether you have a specific treatment in mind or not, taking your horse to a professional horse and rider spa is a great way to help you both look and feel amazing.
Holiday At Home
Possibly the ultimate staycation – why not bring the holiday spirit to your own home? You could consider saving up the money you would spend on a holiday and instead spend it on new horse supplies, tack and more. Check out Equi-Supermarket for some great ideas on new equestrian equipment that you and your horse will love.
You could try setting up a new jumping course or take your horse trekking in local areas. A long grooming session will help you and your horse relax after a long day. You could even consider having a sleepover in your horse’s stable for some quality time together.
Have A Trekking Adventure
Going on a trekking holiday is a great way to explore new places. There are many holiday resorts dedicated to providing trek guides and stables for horses and riders. These often come with more luxurious accommodation so you and your horse can get the pampering that you deserve.
Scotland is one of the hottest trekking holiday destinations at the moment. With gorgeous landscapes and a huge variety of treks and bridleways, you’re sure to find adventure and fun.
Go To The Beach
There’s nothing as fun as a long ride on the beach. This summer, why not take your horse to the nearest beach so that you can both enjoy the sunshine and feel the wind on your face. This is a great way to add a little fun and variety to your summer without breaking the bank.
