Welcome to horseback riding trails in South Africa’s Cape Floral Kingdom along the Whale Coast.
African Horse Company is based on Stanford Hills estate, around the idyllic hamlet, Stanford.
Outrides on offer are 1 and 2-hour mountain trails catering for beginners to advanced horse riders. Canter through the vineyards, climb the foothills and meander through the forest.
Stanford Hills offers an array of nature attractions. Book a lunch or a wine tasting at “The Tasting Room”
The horses used are local South African Crossbreeds (Arab and Boerperd blood). Surefooted, enduring and fully adapted to the environment with regard to grazing, weather, and terrain, they are the true horses of South Africa and the key to a special opportunity to ride through the wonderful, untouched nature of the region.
“In the company of horses, in balance with nature”. African Horse Company is an ideal partner for exploring a truly beautiful part of South Africa.

My morning ride on Snow Flack after years of not being on the back of a horse was amazing and made me feel alive again. Thank you to your staff member who took me out for the out ride he was kind and I enjoyed our chat. I am so in awe of the horse's you have they are all so loving and understanding of each rider that it makes you feel you are with family. Thank you again and please let me know how everyone aka the horse's are doing with much care and love Diana De Lange - Diana

Our party of 3 ( 2 adults and 1 10yo ) really enjoyed the 1 hour mountain ride. The guide was friendly and supportive, the horses were well looked after and the views spectacular. The on site vineyard and Portuguese restaurant also worth a look for lunch after your ride! - Simon
