Horse riding holidays in March

Horse Riding Holidays in March

March is a true shoulder-season favourite. The sizzle of summer is easing into perfect riding weather in the Southern Hemisphere, the tropics are still sunny and inviting, and life is quietly returning to the countryside in the Northern Hemisphere, while the spring crowds are yet to arrive. The pace feels unrushed, the landscapes are vibrant, and travel flows easily — ideal conditions for exploring a whole myriad of destinations.

Top Tips for Travelling in March

  • Pack for all weather. Of course, you should always check the average climate in March for your destination, but be aware that some days may be significantly hotter, colder, windier or wetter than the average.
  • Expect a touch of unpredictability (in the best way). A crisp morning? A tropical shower? Late snow? March likes to keep you on your toes, so embrace the unexpected – it’s all part of the adventure!
  • Check for local festivals and sporting events when planning your trip. March is festival season around the globe – wonderful for soaking up local culture, but it can also affect travel times and availability. A little prep work goes a long way.

Why Ride in March?

A True Shoulder-Season Advantage

March is a crossover month, sitting at the meeting point of seasons. It brings early spring conditions to the northern hemisphere, a gentle shift from late summer to autumn in the south, and balmy yet off-peak conditions in many tropical destinations. In essence, it's an ideal month for long, rewarding days in the saddle.

A Nice Surprise

Over the course of your ride, you could have warm sunny days, fresh breezes, cool changes and showers, no matter which side of the world you're visiting!

Cultural Events

March aligns with a number of significant festivals worldwide, such as Holi in India, St Patrick’s Day in Ireland, Las Fallas in Spain, and in some years, Pasola in Sumba, Indonesia, and Easter (ahem - plan a trip for the long weekend!).
