UNICORN TRAILS SINGLES HORSE RIDING HOLIDAYS

All our rides are suitable for people booking alone, and in fact a very large proportion of our customers book alone to rides all over the world. However some holidays stand out by their friendly easy going owners and guides, and the presence of a welcoming atmosphere for single people make them ideal if this is your first time booking alone.
The list below is by no means exhaustive and if you don't see something that interests you call us to talk about your requirements.
