Challenge yourself in 2006 with British Horse Society adventure
Are you or your family or friends up for a Challenge? Why not treat yourself or a loved one to an unforgettable adventure?
The British Horse Society is organising Challenge Rides for 2006 and all you need to do is choose from one of our four exciting destinations, pay a deposit - and raise the funds to go! You'll have an extraordinary adventure and help to fund the equine welfare work of the BHS.
Challenge Rides organiser Wendy Minor said: "The Inner Mongolian Horse Trek is a new Challenge Ride for 2006. We are offering riders the chance to follow in the footsteps of the ancient Mongols and ride across the Northern grasslands of Inner Mongolia 30 June - 9 July 2006.
"Riders can feast on traditional Mongolian dishes and enjoy the beauty of near-daylight skies. Stunning scenery, Mongolian horses and culture, steeped in history make for an unforgettable experience."
The Icelandic Challenge returns - from August 20-27 next year - with a truly challenging package that's far more than a holiday.
"Negotiating glacial rivers, riding along the seashore, and climbing mountainous trails make for a varied and action packed event, requiring a good level of fitness from participants," says Wendy.
"This land of stunning scenery, fantastic horses and Icelandic culture is steeped in history, and the Viking mystique will leave a lasting impression."
The Inca Challenge to Peru is not for the faint-hearted as you explore, on horseback, ancient Inca trails that wind along sacred valleys and over high mountain passes, through a region rich in natural wonders and cultural heritage.
There is great potential for those in search of adventure with the Challenge being to ride the ancient Inca trails that lead through mountains to the ancient site of Machu Picchu. This Challenge takes place from 6-22 October 2006.
Wendy said: "The Bedouin Challenge is an inspiring ride across the desert landscape. The vastness of the landscape is immense as you ride across sand dunes and open plains with breathtaking views and beautiful sunsets, sleeping in Bedouin tents and dining under the desert stars.
"This is an opportunity to escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life at home. With plenty of time to prepare this ride takes place from 24 March - 1 April 2007."
