I test every new safari that goes on Black Saddle. Sometimes I bring guests on these pioneer rides.
Every year I join more extreme and off-the-beaten-track rides just for myself. If you have a fascinating exploratory ride I’d love to hear about it: emma@black-saddle.com
ITALY
21 - 31 August 2024 - Sicily, Italy - €1,900 (1 saddle)
Join me to trial an established ride in Sicily run by an English / Sicilian couple. This seven day ride starts in the Madonie mountains and finishes with a circumnavigation of the crater of Mount Etna, a live volcano. We will stay in comfortable hotels. An excellent euro break that I expect to be very popular!
09 - 16 October 2024 - Pakistan - £4,950 (4 saddles)
Just a few months after my first visit in February I am headed back to Pakistan with a group to film this ride. I find I don’t really begin to ‘get’ a place until I’ve been once and returned home to read, absorb and learn all that I can. This time I hope to go even deeper. This is my favourite holiday of all time on or off horseback (tied with Namibia).
16 - 23 January 2025 - Jakotango - Tierra Del Fuego - US$5,075
Jakob von Plessen has created a new ride in Argentina due for release this year. The End of the World ride in Tierra del Fuego will run with small groups of eight in December 2024 and January 2025. I can bring seven guests with me. Social media savvy riders would be perfect as I’ll be looking to create a content bank for the website. No snorers please!
CHILE
26 January - 05 February 2025 - Chile to Argentina - €4,785
Riding across the Andes in northern Patagonia from Chile to Argentina. Accommodation is a mix of camping and luxury mountain cabins. Big mountain riding. I can bring five guests with me. Social media savvy riders would be perfect as I’ll be looking to create a content bank for the website.
