ABOUT OUR HOST: Peter has guided rides across the challenging trails of the European Alps since 2004 with his own horses, as well as exploring the world with local breeds. For Peter, the mountains demand a unique teamwork between horse and rider, where trust is the foundation to safely navigate rugged terrains. His training focuses on building mutual trust, leadership, and security on the trail, as he believes that trail horses are extraordinary partners capable of much more than we might expect.
