Trail Rides Through Wild Sumba.<\/h2>\n

Venture beyond Nihiwatu Beach and into the untamed beauty of Sumba\u2019s backcountry on horseback. Depending on the rider\u2019s abilities and interests, NIHI Sumba\u2019s equestrian team has mapped out several trail options depending on the rider\u2019s abilities and interests. All of which navigate through the island\u2019s dramatic landscapes of swaying palm groves, emerald rice fields, rolling fields, and traditional villages. As you return to the resort, an optional gallop along Nihiwatu Beach adds a final sense of freedom before heading home.<\/p>\n

To protect the well-being of our horses, a weight limit of 85 kg (187 lbs) applies to beach rides and 75 kg (165 lbs) for more challenging trails. We recommend wearing leggings or long trousers, socks, and enclosed shoes. Helmets and riding boots are available.<\/small><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1352,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","experiences":[5],"class_list":["post-1327","experience","type-experience","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","experiences-equine"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nHorse Trail Riding -
