Pathway 04 · Riding, trekking & multi day adventures
Go further.
The arena, the trail, and real overnight adventures, for horse and human ready for more. It builds towards a multi day trek for those who want it.
The long way
You do not follow a route.
You build the partnership that makes any route possible. That is the difference between a trek and a trail ride: the route is not the achievement, the horse who carries you down it is.
This year moves between the arena, the trail and the overnight camp. Each one feeds the others, and by the end, going further is simply what the two of you do.
What you'll explore
Riding that carries
Arena work with a purpose: a seat, a conversation and a horse that travel well together.
The trail, properly
Longer rides in real terrain, where everything you have built gets used.
Overnight adventures
Camp, picket line and first light. Your horse learns that home moves with you.
The multi day trek
Where the year points: days out together, for the pairs who want it.
This is the riding Pathway, and even here the ground stays close. Every ride begins and ends with the horse at liberty, because that is where the truth is.
A stage weekend
How three days tend to run.
Held on the Dutch ground and beyond, across the seasons. Your own travel and your horse's stabling during the weekends are not included.
The Roadmap
A year, in four stages.
Four stages of three days across the year, with winter sessions for the theory in between.
Four
One for each season, three days each.
Winter
Sessions that carry the theory, held by the fire.
A trek
A multi day adventure, for those who want it.
What the year holds
Everything included.

Before you apply
Good questions.
Ready to go further, honestly. You send a short request, we talk about you and your horse, and I tell you plainly whether this is your year or whether another theme serves you better first.
No. The Pathway builds towards it, and it is there for the pairs who want it. Some spend the year on day rides and the arena work in between, and that is a full year.
Less than you think. Kit and packing are covered in the winter sessions, and the first night out is planned together, close to home.
Yes. This Pathway is walked with your own horse. A trek is the relationship, tested kindly over distance.
Ready for more
