Horse riding holidays in February

Horse Riding Holidays in February

While much of the world is still easing out of winter, going globetrotting in February is your chance to see destinations like India, New Zealand and Argentina at their seasonal best. Travel feels calmer, landscapes are alive, and the year is young!

Top tips for travelling in February

  • Take advantage of off-peak availability. February often brings better availability and smaller group sizes than peak holiday months; if you’re flexible on dates, you’ll have more choice — and often a more relaxed experience overall.
  • Travel in mid to late February, if possible. Early February can still feel the ripple of school holidays and the Lunar New Year, while mid to late February is low-pressure, making it easier to navigate accommodation and flights.
  • Add buffer days before and after your ride. Because February sits outside major holiday periods, it’s often easier to take a little extra time away, so give yourself permission to extend the escape – it will make the whole trip feel more relaxed.

Why Ride in February?

A Well-Timed Winter Escape

For riders in colder climates, February is often the toughest stretch of winter. Horse riding holidays this month swap short days and grey skies for the warmth and sunshine you've been craving.

Calmer Travel and Quieter Trails

The post-festive season travel lull is still going string and school holidays are over, meaning smoother flights, fewer crowds, and more intimate riding groups. February is a great chance to see your destination as the locals do!

Keep the Good Times Rolling!

The festive season may be over, but February is your chance to sneak away before life cranks back into full gear. With off-peak travel and quieter destinations, it’s the perfect moment to run away again — this time with a saddle.

Cultural Events

Time your trip to immerse yourself in Brazil’s Carnival season, or the Pasola festival in the island of Sumba, Indonesia — a dramatic ritual centred around horses.
