Our Founder
Caroline didn’t choose horses — horses chose her.
The daughter of a diplomat, she was in the saddle by age 4 and spent her childhood riding in WWII-era saddles in Poland, keeping two ponies just outside Rome, and carrying the smell of the stables with her through every country her father’s postings took her to. Life eventually pulled her away for nearly 15 years — but her daughter’s desire to ride brought her back.
It was her mother who first handed her the reins, and her mother’s final gift — a school horse named Parker — that kept Caroline connected to horses. Years later, a devastating fall left doctors predicting a wheelchair. Caroline told them she’d be getting back on her horse. She did. Not everyone gets a second chance; Caroline knows that, and she intends to use every mile of hers curating the best places to ride, all around the world.
The standard a destination has to meet
01 Authenticity
Vetted in the saddle.
Every destination is checked by our team of expert riders before it earns a place on this site — so you know exactly what to expect before you go.
02 Adventure
Worth the journey.
Cantering alongside zebras, crossing glacial streams — we champion the rides that change the rider.
03 Accessibility
A ride for every rider.
From beginners to lifelong riders, and from gentle day rides to multi-day expeditions, there’s a journey here to match your pace.
04 Stewardship
Conservation-minded.
We favor partners who protect the land and the herds, and who pay their wranglers a real wage.
