About Equitrekking Travel

About Darley Newman

As the host and producer of the Emmy Award-winning Equitrekking television series on Public Television, I travel the world searching for the best in equestrian travel. After experiencing great horseback riding vacation destinations 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.

We’ve personally visited and ridden horses at each destination that you see on EquitrekkingTravel.com. Each ranch, estancia, training center and horse owner featured on EquitrekkingTravel.com provides vacations that are a good value for your money and include varied 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, Costa Rica or North Carolina, trip guides will help you to feel more like local than a tourist and that’s what makes taking a riding vacation so much fun. Equitrekking Travel doesn’t just feature vacations. 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 Julie Snyder, an award-winning Virtuoso travel agent and fellow equestrian, offers full service travel booking to make planning your trip easy.

EquitrekkingTravel.com features video clips, photographs and my blog from each location, 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. We’ve been to each place, so we can provide this first-hand, helpful information.

Please call or email if you have questions or need assistance in deciding where to travel. We’re happy to help you find great equestrian experiences, whether you’re traveling solo, a beginning rider or traveling with children, your family or a group that includes riders and non-riders.

Happy Trails!
