Welcome to the collection of materials dedicated to horseback riding tours — a unique type of recreation and transportation associated with riding horses. Horseback riding tours are trips or rides on horseback along various routes passing through nature, rural landscapes, forests, fields, mountain trails, and shorelines. This mode of travel brings together humans and animals, allowing exploration of the surrounding world from the height of the horse's saddle.

The term "horseback riding tours" encompasses many aspects and varieties of informal, recreational horseback riding. Routes can range from short excursions within specially equipped riding clubs and centers to extended horse safaris and expeditions through nature reserves and national parks.

The environments of such tours include diverse landscapes: plains, mountain ranges, forest trails, hiking routes, agricultural lands, and open spaces. Often, horseback riding tours are conducted accompanied by instructors or guides who help navigate the route and ensure riding safety.

The horses typically used for rides are distinguished by their endurance and calm temperament, providing comfort and safety for riders of varying skill levels. Tours can include slow trots, walking paces, as well as stops for rest and nature observation.

Horseback riding tours vary depending on the season — in spring and summer they are accompanied by vibrant vegetation, blooming meadows, and bird songs; in autumn — by changing leaves and cooler weather; in winter — by opportunities to travel along snowy trails and open, spacious ridges.

This term also covers the variety of equipment and gear needed for horseback riding, including saddles, bridles, protective clothing, and horse care supplies.

Horseback riding tours are an activity that combines natural factors, the biological characteristics of animals, and physical activity of humans outdoors across a wide spectrum of landscapes and climatic conditions.
