frequently asked questions
No experience is required for our day rides — they’re suitable for both beginners and experienced riders. For the evening Northern Lights rides, we recommend some prior riding experience due to lower visibility and colder conditions.
The minimum age is 12 years. Younger children may be allowed if they have previous trekking experience — please contact us to discuss.
Yes, the maximum rider weight is 90 kg (198 lbs). This is for the safety of both rider and horse.
We keep our tours small and personal, with a maximum of 4 participants per group.
Our tours are guided in both Dutch and English.
Please dress warmly in layers and wear weather-appropriate, sturdy shoes or boots — especially for evening rides, when temperatures can drop significantly.
Your safety and comfort are our priority. We provide the following gear for all our rides:
Riding helmet
Polar suit / snow suit (for warmth in cold weather)
Balaclava (worn under the helmet for extra warmth and hygiene)
You're welcome to bring your own gear if you prefer, but we make sure you're fully equipped to enjoy the ride safely and comfortably — even in Arctic conditions.
While we can’t guarantee a Northern Lights sighting, riding under the Arctic night sky is always a magical experience, with or without the aurora.
