All abilities are welcome at Huechahue and with over 50 ride-able horses we are sure we can find something you would enjoy.

If riding at Huechahue is going to be one of your first experiences on horseback fear not. The Western style of riding is arguably easier for beginners and we would be very keen to make sure your first experience on a horse is a positive and enjoyable one! We have horses that would take very special care of those wanting to appreciate the Patagonian scenery on horseback. Working with cattle is a great way to learn, you will be so busy concentrating on the job in hand that the 'riding' part becomes second nature.

While we do sometimes have groups of mixed abilities, we make sure everyone is catered for, sending more helpers so routes can be adapted and the pace is appropriate to level.

For those with more experience, riding in Huechahue is varied, challenging and great fun!

On the estancia we can cater for all abilities however some of the other rides we offer are tailored rides specifically to certain abilities. Please bear in mind following guidance in relation to specific rides we run:

Across the Andes: Riders should be experienced and physically fit. Days in the saddle are long and the riding challenging.

Estancia to Estancia: Riders should be intermediate as there are long canters on this ride and plenty of opportunities for fast riding. For those who want to take it easy, it is possible to take incorporate 'rest days'. You can also bring non-riding companions, there is plenty for them to do whilst you are riding and then they can meet you every evening.

Pack Trips: The terrain in the mountains usually dictates a slow pace and beginners should not have a problem, however guests should be aware that the days are still relatively long (up to 6 hours in the saddle).
