Extended Day Ride
The Extended day ride is an extended cross-country ride for experienced riders who want to spend several hours in the saddle. Starting from the farm, we ride a varied route through different landscapes and terrain before finally returning to our starting point.
This ride combines distance, endurance, and steady riding in mountainous terrain. The focus is not on a single destination, but on being on the move and covering a greater distance.
Character of the Ride
The Extended ride is significantly longer than our shorter rides and requires a good level of fitness. The route mainly follows forest roads and open terrain with varying profiles.
A break is scheduled during the ride, during which riders can eat the food they have brought with them and the horses can rest. A stop at an alpine hut is optional, depending on the route, how you feel on the day, and availability.
We deliberately use trot and canter on suitable sections, depending on the situation. The focus is on the rhythm of riding and covering distance.
