About Equitrekking Travel

About Darley Newman

I travel the world searching for the best in equestrian travel as the host and producer of the Emmy Award-winning Equitrekking television series on PBS and international networks in over 65 countries. After experiencing great horseback riding vacations with wonderful horses and people and getting a lot of requests from viewers who want to know where to ride, we decided to launch Equitrekking Travel to feature our favorite equestrian vacations.

Each ranch, estancia, training center and horse owner featured on EquitrekkingTravel.com provides riding vacations that are a good value for your money and include varied horse riding and cultural experiences. We promote trips that are eco-friendly and that help support local communities and small horse businesses, so you can feel good about your travels.

Whether its in New Mexico, Ireland, Hawaii, Jordan, Costa Rica or Vermont, trip guides will help you to feel more like a local than a tourist and that’s what makes taking a riding vacation so much fun. Equitrekking Travel doesn’t just feature horse holidays. We showcase diverse travel experiences that allow you to really get to know each place that you visit. Equitrekking Travel’s preferred provider of travel services, an award-winning Virtuoso travel agency, offers full service travel booking to make planning your trip easy.

EquitrekkingTravel.com features video clips, photographs and travel planning advice, so that you can learn more about where you’re going before you get there. We also have extensive photo galleries, tips on packing and trip preparation and other things to consider before your horseback riding adventure, including interesting reading material. Since we've filmed and experienced so many equestrian vacations, we can provide lots of first-hand, helpful information.

Happy Trails!
