This program is designed as a journey, not a single activity. Not only horse riding, but also city and food exploration.

Over multiple days, riders build confidence, improve technique, and connect with nature at a slower, immersive pace - forests, plains, and wide landscapes instead of fenced circuits.

Comfort and safety are equally prioritized. Small groups, experienced guides, quality gear, and planned rest rhythms ensure riders challenge themselves while still feeling supported, making it both adventurous and reassuring for international travelers.

I’m Lynn. I grew up in Sichuan, a place known for its strong character and deep connection to land and tradition. From an early age, I was drawn to places where life feels real, grounded, and close to nature. In 2019, I moved to Beijing and started exploring beyond the city skyline. What surprised me most wasn’t just the history or the food — it was the wilderness hiding in plain sight. Within a short drive from one of the world’s biggest cities, I found mountains, open land, and trails that felt a world away. That’s where I discovered horseback riding in Beijing’s countryside — and it changed everything. The feeling of leaving the noise behind, riding through valleys and ridgelines, and seeing landscapes the way people once did… it’s a kind of freedom you can’t find in cities.

Tour provider's comments

This is a multi-day, immersive horseback riding journey through countryside, forests, and open grasslands — deeper than a short ride but still accessible to many travellers:

🐴 Progressive riding – It starts with shorter, guided sessions to warm up and build confidence, then moves to longer full-day rides across the Bashang grasslands.

⏱ Long riding days – The full-day grassland rides can be about 6–7 hours on horseback, so riders spend a lot of time in the saddle compared with short tours.

💪 Physical endurance needed – It’s not extreme, but long hours in the seat demand core balance, leg strength, and general fitness — especially if riders are not used to it.

👉 Overall it’s designed for people with basic to intermediate riding ability — not total novices, but no pro experience either
