More about the trip…

  • The horses at the Djerba stables are Barb, Arab or Arab-Barb mixes. They love contact with humans, and are energetic and forward going, while being soft and attentive to the aids. Most of the horses are stallions, with the exception of one gelding. The stallions are friendly with each other are live together in paddocks. The owner’s unique approach to horse care allows these stallions horses to live socially, resulting in a relaxed and balanced character. All of the horses are kept barefoot. The tack includes english, western, treeless and endurance saddles.
