What our riders say
What a wonderful experience. Every detail was paid attention to and planned out. The horses were happy, well taken care of, and perfectly paired to my family's varied experience level. This created a once-in-a-lifetime ride for all of us through the Versailles gardens, which was amazing! The lunch was delicious and unforgettable, and then the guided tour of the palace was perfect. Everyone we met from Manon and Cedric who picked us up in the morning and took us around, to our horse guide to our tour guide at the palace, were friendly, passionate about what they were doing, and tremendous people to spend time with. I could not recommend Nomad Riders any stronger, it was a perfect day for our family !
An absolutely incredible experience from start to finish! from the warm welcome from your hosts with evian and pastries, the incredible horse ride, an amazing 3 course meal with gorgeously paired wines and followed by a private tour of the chateau, the entire day was organised to perfection and one of the most special experiences! worth every penny and our guide Manon was truly so wonderful and took amazing care of us! book this, you will not regret it !!
My experience with Nomad Riders was definitely the highlight of my time in Paris. The ride, lunch, and tour were all fantastic. I was taken great care of throughout the whole process. Manon and Rita were so wonderful setting everything up for me, and I can't recommend them more.
Nomad Riders created the most wonderfully curated experience for myself and my 30 year old daughter. From the private car pick up in Paris to the riding in Versaille, the amazing Michelin rated brunch….and then a fully custom ride for us in the Loire Valley ! Rita and her guides (and horses) have delivered on exceeding our expectations ! Thank you for creating such special memories that we’ll treasure forever.
Amazing family experience! I went with my daughter who loves horses and is learning to ride, we lived a wonderful adventure. The food was delicious very gourmet, the visit to Versalles very interesting and entertaining with our guide. Rita is wonderful and thought of all the details.

- Wellness Rituals: Riding is exhilarating, & restorative moments matter. On each adventure, you can enhance your ride with wellness experiences, from yoga sessions and spa treatments to natural hot springs - for a restorative break between rides.
Why Book Your Horseback Riding Experience with Us?
We believe horseback riding holidays are about connection, freedom, and experiencing travel at a different rhythm.
To bring this vision to life, we ensure that every experience is thoughtfully crafted and tested firsthand. We handpick each ride, travel on-site, meet the horses and guides, and try the full experience to ensure it meets our highest standards. This allows us to offer only high-quality horseback riding experiences.
Above all, we place horse welfare at the core of every decision we make. On all our horseback riding tours, we collaborate exclusively with trusted partners who provide attentive care, balanced routines, and the highest standards of well-being. Riding with Nomad Riders means being part of a community that values the horse as much as the experience itself.
To offer you a fully immersive experience, we work closely with passionate local guides who bring each destination to life. Beyond leading the ride, they share their knowledge, culture, and stories, creating a deeper and more enriching experience. From guides to hosts and chefs, every partner contributes to making your journey seamless and authentic.
Finally, as every rider is unique, we take pride in creating fully private, tailor-made riding experiences that reflect your preferences and riding level. Thanks to our close relationships with trusted partners and refined accommodations, we create journeys that are truly your own. Whether you dream of riding from castle to castle, horseback riding in the Loire Valley or horseback riding in Paris, we craft experiences that stay with you long after the ride ends.
