Those that love and work with horses are truly unique individuals. Once you gain the experience of riding, and enjoy working with and being around these lovely animals, your life is never the same again. We’re lucky to enjoy horses, and yes - we might even have a sugar cube or two in the pockets of our blue jean jacket to offer them as treats! As a rider, you know how to hold a carrot and how to lay a sugar cube flat on your hand, and you’re not worried about being bitten by a horse. Let your horse "nuzzle" you for the treat…you’re quite comfortable with the affection.
Horses are beautiful animals that have been in and around man for thousands of years. We used them first for work and transport, and now - for our enjoyment and education. True Colors Travel is pleased to present the true Ecuadorian Equestrian Extravaganza—an experience you’ll never, ever forget. This tour is a special tour and requires a special client—you!
You’re not planning on riding deep into the Andes and staying in a five star hotel. You have your own boots. You may want to bring your own saddle, because it’s broken in and you can ride days in your own saddle. Tell us what we can do to help you achieve your dream! You understand that riding all day on a horse can leave you tired, sore, and with muscle aches in places you never knew muscles existed - but that’s ok, because you love riding your horse - even getting to know a different horse—and being one with such a beautiful and powerful animal.
You’re a true equestrian. Or, if you’re from the country, we’d call you a cowboy. It’s your choice, pardoner. Our tour leads you through the true heart of the Ecuadorian Andes - in many cases, showing unexplored and unseen beauty and majesty. The most amazing scenery will change from day-to-day as nature charges her chronological changes to the Earth.
You’ll tour multiple micro climates on this tour, depending on time of year and exact routing. You have the chance to encounter and enjoy lush, green, cloud forests as well as arid, desert-like landscapes; the deepest of deep river canyons and steepest of steep mountain slopes; sunny valleys with the sun beaming down on you and your horse; picturesque, pastoral farmlands teeming with bucolic livestock and washed by just a cool hint of a breeze - and silent crater lakes, as silent as the grave. Work up a sweat as you gallop through the flatlands and feel the power of your horse as it climbs the steepest terrain. This is nature at her finest, and you not only communicate with nature, but fill your soul with the strength and beauty of the ride. Your horse can sense your awe - and you become one with nature.
Yes, this is truly a horse person dream trip, and you can be the larger part of it. Due to the remoteness of the area, overnight stops are basic, carefully chosen, cozy and nice. There may be bunkhouses at some stops—and this will be your opportunity to tell a true story of bunkhouse living - sitting around the campfire, telling and hearing stories of life and living. Forget the big screen TV and the cellular telephone. You’re in touch with yourself and the land. Connect with the hidden Ecuador - its people and lifestyle - while enjoying the ride of a lifetime on lively, well-behaved, and reliable horses.
