Horse Riding Holidays in September
September is a month of gentle transitions and pure riding magic. In the Northern Hemisphere, autumn begins to sweep across the landscape: crisp mornings, golden leaves, and quiet trails that feel made for discovery.
In the Southern Hemisphere, spring brings blooming flowers, fresh greenery, and soft, sun-dappled paths perfect for exploring on horseback. Horses are lively, weather is mild, and the crowds are thinner—giving riders an intimate, immersive experience. September invites globetrotters to slow down, soak in the season, and let every canter, trot, and walk deepen their connection with the world and their horse.
Top tips for travelling in September
- Layer for changing temperatures. Cool mornings and warmer afternoons call for breathable layers you can adjust on the trail.
- Bring a light rain jacket. Early autumn or spring showers are quick but refreshing—being prepared keeps you comfortable.
- Pack sunscreen and lip balm. Sunlight can still be strong, and riding all day leaves skin exposed.
- Comfortable, broken-in boots and gear. Long rides are better when your feet and hands are supported.
