Scenic Horseback Adventures in the Free State Highlands

At Wyndford Holiday Farm, horse riding is more than just an activity — it’s a chance to explore the breathtaking Eastern Free State landscape the old-fashioned way. Situated near Fouriesburg and surrounded by the Rooiberge and Maluti Mountains, Wyndford offers guided horseback rides that take you through rolling hills, sandstone cliffs, and peaceful farmlands on well-trained, gentle horses.

These rides cater to all ages and experience levels. Whether you’re a confident rider or a complete beginner, the team ensures you feel safe, supported, and comfortable. Led rides for beginners and children provide a taste of the experience, while longer 1 to 1.5-hour trail rides allow more adventurous riders to take in the full beauty of the highlands at a gentle, rhythmic pace.

Rides are small and personal, with guides sharing stories about the local area, pointing out wildlife, and ensuring you connect with both horse and nature. The slow pace allows you to truly take in the scenery — golden plains, towering cliffs, and winding farm paths under wide blue skies.

Wyndford’s farm-style hospitality continues before and after your ride, with hearty meals, warm company, and a tranquil atmosphere that makes you feel instantly at home. This is more than a ride; it’s a grounding, unforgettable experience on horseback in one of South Africa’s most scenic corners.

For families, couples, and solo travellers alike, horse riding at Wyndford offers a peaceful yet adventurous way to reconnect with nature.
