Question 5

The Riding

Accepted Answer

Level: Intermediate and Advanced

The Rider
This activity requires you to be fit enough to enjoy and take advantage of the ride. Riders should be comfortable with long hours in the saddle, capable of handling different gaits including trotting and galloping, and adept at maintaining control in challenging environments. Less experienced riders will find horses suited to their abilities as well. The saddles are specially designed to enhance comfort throughout the trail, featuring a hybrid design between English and typical Asian saddles. Additionally, saddle bags are available for your convenience.

Horses
Riding the Tusheti horses of Georgia is an unparalleled experience, deeply rooted in the region's ancient traditions. These horses, known for their resilience and sure-footedness, navigate the rugged landscapes of Vashlovani with ease. The horses you ride on the trip are almost all geldings, we also have two stallions. The horses are forward going with an active walk. The weight limit is 90kg. You will find the horses forward going yet responsive.

Route: The average daily riding is between 20 — 30 km (4— 6 hours).
