WHAT SETS US APART
Why book with us
All rides are tested by us
From ranch holidays in the USA to safaris in Africa, playing polo in Argentina to fast desert rides in Namibia, we’ve explored the world for 20 years and work with the most interesting and diverse horse riding operators who share their lives, incredible horses and knowledge of their country generously with you. Our range of horse-riding holidays has been carefully vetted and selected by our team, to ensure that what we offer you is the best selection of riding holidays available anywhere.
20 years of expertise
We've been booking horse riding adventures for 20 years making us one of the longest established agencies in the industry. We're proud of our expertise in all things horses, riding and travel. Our team's background is working with horses, competing and breeding and we created our business from the back of our passion for travel and adventure. We work hard to make sure we cater for all riders whether you’re a professional or a leisurely trail rider.
Fair pricing, no additional fees
All our riding holidays hold a price guarantee. We believe in your piece of mind on price when you book with us and will refund the difference should you find the same riding holiday elsewhere at a lower price.

Holiday match makers
We love nothing more that matching clients to their dream trip, working through all the detail with you and then enjoying the feedback on your return. We pride ourselves in offering in-depth personal expertise of the horse riding holidays and the countries you visit. It means that any detail or further information you need on any of our holidays, or advice on choosing which one is right for you, is just a phone call or a message away.
Loyalty discount
We give 5% discount on our standard rates when you book with us again.
24/7 emergency number
We’ll organise everything for you and help you prepare for your trip with detailed itineraries and even packing list recommendations so that you can make the most of your experience. However, not everything is in our control and should anything go wrong on your holiday, we’re available 24/7 to resolve any issues.
Extras and exclusive rides
We regularly arrange private rides to various destinations. These holidays are hosted by one of our team members and are open only to Zara’s Planet clients and friends. On our private rides, we guarantee a fun group and an extra layer of care and attention to detail in organizing everything for you.
Responsible travel
We believe strongly in responsible travel at Zara’s Planet and we hope that you will share our ethics. Especially in less touristic destinations, it is easy to have a negative impact on local communities. By working with local, professional outfitters, we vet our partners carefully to make sure that the local effect is positive. You won’t find us packing clients on to bus tours, we believe in travel in small groups and individuals. This is generally better for the local environment, and it gives you a far better holiday experience. You arrive home relaxed, refreshed, inspired and revitalized.
We are dedicated to sustainable travel which means that we will put a portion of our profits back into carefully selected local projects. We also try to utilize local outfitters to encourage and support sustainable tourism. We will be fully transparent in our methods and the level of support that we provide to projects. Current projects that we support financially include a primary school in South Africa and primary schools in Bangladesh where Zara’s Planet has contributed funds for much needed equipment.
