Our Story
It all started when our founder, Wendy Hofstee, embarked on a journey around the world that would forever change her life's course. As a veterinary surgeon, seasoned traveller, and horse enthusiast, Wendy had the opportunity to meet incredible individuals from all corners of the world who not only shared her passion for horses but also introduced her to exhilarating equestrian experiences. But with the good came the bad, and Wendy witnessed firsthand the devastating effects of neglect and improper care towards horses. Driven to make a difference, Wendy founded Unicorn Trails in 1998, dedicated to providing riders with exceptional horseback riding experiences while prioritising the welfare of the horses. Thanks to Wendy's visionary leadership and passion for horses, Unicorn Trails sets the industry standard for exceptional equestrian travel experiences for riders of all levels.
