Making horseback travel sustainable

How do we contribute to minimizing the impact of your riding holidays?

Horseback travel: a naturally responsible choice

Horseback journeys inherently minimize environmental impact, with limited use of cars, primarily reserved for luggage transfers and logistical needs.

  1. Carbon offsetting
    We are looking at fully offsetting the carbon emissions generated by our team’s travel. This commitment will extend to offsetting emissions from flights taken by all our riders, particularly for international destinations where train travel is not an option.
  2. Reducing single-use plastics
    In collaboration with our local partners, we strive to minimize waste during our trails and expeditions on horseback. We encourage the elimination of single-use plastic bottles and tableware by encouraging our teams to provide alternatives like reusable water bottles and filtered water.
  3. Partner Engagement in Sustainability
    To ensure sustainable practices, we provide our local partners with a questionnaire to assess their commitments to sustainable development. We also offer tailored recommendations to support responsible local actions.

At Equus Journeys, we are dedicated to offering experiences that respect our planet and promote sustainable tourism practices.
