Maximum number of riders per activity is limited to 12, and it might be less, depending on the activity.
Doornkraal has always had horses. We have relied on them for many generations and the 140 years that this farm has been in care of the Le Roux family. And although horses are not used anymore in daily farming activities, they remain loved and trusted companions. We highly value a good temperament, willingness and kindness towards people in a riding horse.
Therefore DOORNKRAAL HORSES are carefully selected from various bloodlines of South African horses that were bred for local conditions – the legendary Cape Riding Horse, Boerperd and Nooitgedachter – known for their outstanding temperament, versatility, riding comfort and sure-footedness.
The big variety of routes were selected to introduce riders to the breathtaking and unspoilt Klein Karoo landscape. Duration of rides is from 1½ hours to multi-day guided adventures. We accommodate riders of all ages and skill levels.

2 months agoThe best place for horse riding ! We got there as part of a surprise and enjoyed every minute of it. Michaela was amazing and extremely knowledgeable regarding the surroundings, nature, and horses alike.She walked us through from more or less beginners to actually being able to ride at speed with our technique, which was just a step above holding for dear life. The horses were friendly and well trained.We took a 2 hour journey across stunning plains with picturesque views, at the end of which we had a picnic waiting for us. It was the best place to have a bit of a romantic lunch!Overall, we had the best day!!

7 months agoOne of the best rides available globally, I would not hesitate to recommend the 6 day Coast to Karoo ride. Incredibly solid, safe and well cared for horses, great hospitality, unbelievable scenery and fantastic riding make this a bucket list experience that should not be missed by experienced riders.
