Mauritius Horse Trails

Mauritius Horse Trails, primarily operating in the Riambel region of the south, features specialized equestrian experiences that combine nature exploration with animal welfare. The center is well-known for rescuing and retraining former racehorses from the Champ de Mars racecourse in Port Louis, giving them a second life after their sporting careers end. Riding excursions take visitors along the untouched beaches of Riambel, through coastal forests, and occasionally into the shallow waters of the lagoon. Unlike mass commercial operations, the focus here is on small groups and ethical treatment of the animals. The horses are specifically trained to navigate sandy terrain and water safely. This activity provides a unique vantage point of the wild southern coastline of Mauritius, which remains far less developed than the northern tourist hubs. The project also fosters a connection to the island's long-standing equestrian culture, rooted in its colonial history.
