My wife and I have enjoyed riding holidays in England, Hungary, Mexico, and the western US, and our experience at the Green Horse Ranch ranks among our very best and most memorable. We joined Astrid and Albrecht in January of 2020 for their eight-day Secrets of the Andes Tour and our great expectations were met or even surpassed. First, I think that riding horses in the beautiful Pululahua Crater might almost constitute a unique experience. The volcano is gorgeous, a special, even magical terrain whose unusualness Astrid tries to capture by references to Tolkien’s Middle Earth. The only geography to which I can compare it would be that of Hawaii, also a volcanic formation, and also among the most beautiful places on earth. Second, Astrid and Albrecht are friendly, generous, and thoughtful hosts who anticipate your needs and do everything they can to make you feel comfortable and at home. They meticulously planned our eight days at the ranch so that we were busy and fulfilled the entire time. We rode for over two hours on the evening we arrived—a night ride that we thoroughly enjoyed—and after that we rode for four to six hours every day. We always went to sleep tired and satisfied with a full day’s riding. Green Horse Ranch is a thoroughly professional organization. Third, the horses are excellent. According to Astrid, she has bred about half of her herd at the ranch, and she has trained them all in an exemplary fashion. During our tour my wife and I each got to ride three different horses, and we found each of them a delight to ride. They are utterly dependable, responsive, and forward moving. Finally, the riding was like nothing we’ve ever done. There were, to be sure, long stretches on dirt roads that you share with the occasional vehicle and pedestrian. But much of the riding takes place on steep, narrow, rocky, overgrown jungle trails that either ascend the walls of the volcano or descend into the crater. On most of the rides Astrid takes a machete and uses it frequently My wife and I have galloped hell for leather across the Hungarian puszta, and forded swollen rivers in the American West (well, at least once), but rarely have we done anything as demanding and challenging as negotiating the mountain trails of Pululahua. This is genuinely exciting and unusual riding. If you like to ride well-trained horses over a beautiful and testing terrain you will have a blast at the Green Horse Ranch. We cannot recommend it more highly.
