Join Gutsy Girls for a four night horse riding and yoga holiday for experienced riders. Head to Norway for a mountain escape where incredible views, ancient forests and long lazy days create the perfect backdrop for your ultimate riding adventure.This trip is for experienced riders ready to explore Norwegian wilderness on horseback. You'll ride Norwegian Døle horses through mountain trails, canter along forest paths and tackle river crossings, all with expert local guides. Out of the saddle you'll unwind with daily yoga sessions, enjoy incredible Norwegian cuisine, and connect with an active group of likeminded women.
Why Norway for horse riding?
- Trail ride through actual Norwegian wilderness – Forget arena loops, you'll partner with a sure-footed Døle horse and spend your days riding through dense forest, wildflower meadows, and river crossings with peaks towering around you.
- Full-day ride to a remote summer farm – Three hours up over two mountain peaks, traditional Norwegian food at a working farm, then back through birch forest with your saddlebags packed and your horse grazing while you eat.
- Equestrian-specific physio sessions – A physiotherapist runs targeted exercises designed for riders, including core work, balance drills, and stretching that'll actually improve your performance in the saddle.
- Time in the stables matters as much as the trails – Get hands-on with the Døle horses between rides through grooming, care routines, and reading body language to build that connection throughout the week.
- Sauna, wild swimming, and yoga for recovery – After long days riding and working at the stables, hit the lakeside sauna, brave the mountain water if you're up for it, and stretch out saddle-sore muscles with three yoga sessions.
Highlights:
- Ride through wilderness trails – Head through dense forest, wildflower meadows and national park terrain with dramatic peaks around you.
- Experienced riders only – Confident at trot and canter, able to mount independently, and ready to handle your horse across varied terrain.
- Expert local guides who know every trail – Norwegian instructors lead you through Rondane National Park's best riding routes.
- Small group of like-minded riders – Seven women max, all at a similar level and up for a challenge.
- Traditional Norwegian three-course dinners – Hearty mountain food to fuel long days, with all dietary requirements covered.
- Four nights in a family-run mountain hotel – Cosy lounge, yoga studio, and panoramic views that go on forever.
🔥 Difficulty Level
This trip is for experienced riders only. You'll spend 4-6 hours in the saddle daily, covering varied terrain. You need to be confident at walk, trot and canter, comfortable riding outdoors in all conditions, and fit enough for consecutive days of riding.

If you're ready to ride stunning landscapes, challenge yourself on horseback, and embrace the Norwegian wilderness, this is for you.
