~ Once a Year – Ideas for something completely different ~
South Africa, Annual Game Census - Hands on with Ant Safaris, your chance to work side by side with the conservation experts – counting, logging and even relocating game including the rare and precious Sable Antelope. Roll your sleeves up and be part of the action. Hard working team member before lunch and person of extreme leisure afterwards, more riding or maybe a game drive, perhaps a little lounging by the pool at Ant’s Nest or Ant’s Lodge... Soak up the best these top notch lodges have to offer with the once a year extra of being part of the team.
12th to19th September £1750 per person
France, Yoga and Riding - Hugely invigorating, possibly even life changing - and easy to get to… Excellent for those experienced in the mysteries of yoga and also for those whose bodies and minds have not yet had the pleasure. A comfortable manor house, relaxing fun riding and excellent food. Mix and match and enjoy the best French rural living has to offer including cook, pool and tennis court.
18th to 25th September £1250 per person (non riders welcome, £845 per person)
Argentina, Competitive Cattle Cutting in Patagonia - Not quite on Hemingway’s list of sports but almost. Get up close and personal in the province’s top cattle competition. A week of fast riding at Estancia Huechahue with opportunities to work alongside gauchos, all good training for the "Aparte Campero", where you can join teams competing from all over the Province of Neuquén dressed in their finest. And of course afterwards a huge traditional "Asado" (barbecue). The very essence of Argentina.
19th to 26th September - USD 2625 per person (approx £1875)
Ecuador, Fiesta and Haciendas - Ecuadorian life from the inside. Join the procession and party, dancing to a local brass band around an enormous bonfire. There are lasso lessons and roping competitions, a visit to a top Andalucian stud farm, a condor project, the famous Otavalo market and one the country’s most important Inca sites. And of course stunning riding in breathtaking scenery, and gracious hacienda living.
26th September to 5th October USD2880 pp (approx £2057)
India, Pushkar Camel Fair - A uniquely Indian affair, and one the greatest tribal gatherings you will ever witness. Camels (obviously), cattle, horses, acrobats, magicians, snake charmers, musicians, more camels, more horses and more cattle (some competing in beauty competitions). And ride the exotic and unique Marwari horse as well as experience the hospitality and grandeur of Rajasthan.
Whole Ride - 5th to 23rd November 18 nights / USD 6315 pp (approx £4510)

South America, Across the Continent - This epic adventure kicks off with your hooves in the Chilean Pacific and ends with them in the Argentine Atlantic. First planned as a 'one off adventure' by Jane Williams, the ride is now in its third (and very possibly last…) year. An expedition that takes you across ice blue lakes, an international border and hundreds of miles through some of the wildest, emptiest country the continent has to offer. A serious journey and a sense of achievement - you rarely get hunched over your keyboard.
12th March to 2nd April 2011 USD 9124 per person (approx £6517)

Spain, Sierra Nevada - A few days escape into the mountains on well schooled perky horses, not a speedy ride but not for beginners - don’t be put off by a slower pace, experienced riders will still enjoy these horses.
