Come and enjoy an exceptional horse riding weekend flavoured with the warm farmer hospitality of seasoned equestrians Johnny and Myra as your guides on their beautiful cattle and maize farm outside Cornelia. What you will find here is an unforgettable horse riding experience, sightseeing and becoming one with horse and nature on the way, open skies and star filled nights and the nostalgia of sleeping in your own private real old-time rustically restored farm house with wooden floors and ceilings.
Uitsien Horse Trails can accommodate up to 9 persons per weekend and horses and riding gear are provided. Visitors may, however, bring their own horses and guests have a choice between self-catering or full service.

ACCOMODATION

There are three bedrooms with three single beds each, an equipped kitchen, spacious open plan lounge and dining area and enormous stoeps – distinctive of the iron- and sandstone farmsteads build in earlier years in this area. Linen and towels are supplied. Please note that there is only one shower and wc – plans are, however, in the pipeline to make more facilities available in future.

Traditional farm breakfast. Dinner: Salad, a variety of breads, braaivleis (barbeque), onedishmeal (either mince or chicken), "skildpadjies" (lamb liver in caul), bacon, mieliepap, jams, maizemeal-treat and all drinks included.

Self catering option also available.

ACTIVITIES

Arrive on the farm on Friday and enjoy a sundowner while watching the sunset. Enjoy a traditional home made farm supper. A full farm breakfast is served on the Saturday morning. If the weather is suitable, the horse trail will start at 09h00 until it's done after three to five hours. An open air picnic is enjoyed en route and Saturday evening you will be treated to a real Free Sate braai. On Sunday morning you can help yourself to a cereal breakfast before departure.

If you are not a horse rider you can now enjoy the horse-cart on the farm with your children. The cart rides most parts of the horse trail with the other horses. Bring your kids to enjoy the quad bike course. The course is approximately 500m and is an easy course. We also have a family quad route.

GENERAL INFO ON TRAILS: Uitsien Horse Trails provide horses with riding gear. If you prefer to bring your own horses you are welcome, but please notify us a week beforehand. Guests must provide their horse's own food.

You do not have to be an advanced rider.

Bring along: Sun block, hat, a water bottle and suitable clothing (In winter please bring enough warm clothing).
