ABOUT US

Established in 1993, Horizon Horseback has built an enviable reputation for horsemanship, adventure, good food and a refreshingly relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. The Horizon Horseback portfolio is run by Shane and Laura Dowinton, both originally from the UK. They met whilst working in Australia and are now confirmed lovers of Africa. Their patience and love of horses is shown with every one of their much-loved herd.

At Horizon, we take pride in the care and quality of our horses. Our herd comprises Anglo-Arabs, Thoroughbreds, Boerperds and crossbreeds, ranging in size from 14.1 to 17.2 hands. All our horses are honest, forward-going and highly responsive. Shane and Laura are aided by a friendly and enthusiastic team, chosen for their love of life, horses and people. Together, they create one of the most welcoming and relaxed riding destinations in Africa.
