Klein Karoo Horse Adventures

Klein Karoo Horse Adventures Horse riding adventures on scenic routes in & around the farm and the surrounding veldt on our fantastic horses. Riders of all skill levels welcome.

Book for 1 hour outrides, day rides inclusive of picnics or multi day rides inclusive of a bed & meals. Doornkraal has always had horses. We have relied on them for the many generations and the 140 years that this farm has been in care of the Le Roux family. And although horses are not used any more in the daily farming activities, they remain loved and trusted companions. We highly value a good t

emperament, willingness and kindness towards people in a riding horse. Therefore DOORNKRAAL HORSES are carefully selected from various bloodlines of South African horses that was bred for local conditions - the legendary Cape Riding Horse, Boerperd and Nooitgedachter and known for their outstanding temperament, versatility, riding comfort and sure-footedness. The routes we have selected was done so to introduce riders to the breathtaking and unspoilt Klein Karoo landscape. Duration of rides are from 1½ hours to multi day guided adventures. We accommodate riders of all ages and skill levels. What are you waiting for?

Somewhere in the mountains above De Rust, there is a view that will rearrange your priorities. You have to earn it on horseback. It is entirely worth it.

Book the trail.

🌙 Stof & Sterre, a wild adventure for the books.

Four days. 10 riders. One brand new trail through the heart of the Klein Karoo.

Amphitheatres of red rock. A full moon over the Swartberg. Long canters across open flats, saddle bags snacks and home cooked meals. Cold wine and a sky so thick with stars it barely seemed real.

Our trusted horses took us on the first ever Stof & Sterre, and they take you on the next one. Remember it’s the small things that make a ride like this what it truly is.

So, when are you riding with us?

Grateful for the rain,
a steady horse,
and good company.

Challenged daily
but not unwelcome.

Because even on heavy days,
there’s a calm to be found
in the Klein Karoo,
where a little goes a long way.

🎬 ’n Storie van Doornkraal – vertoon by

Ons is baie opgewonde om ’n dokumentêr oor Doornkraal, ons werkende plaas in die Klein Karoo, te deel. Die film vertel die verhaal van die grond, ons perde en die vroue wat vandag nog die plaas bestuur, dikwels te perd.

Die dokumentêr is vasgevang deur Jonathan en van Calitzdorp, filmmakers wat self die ritme van plaaslewe ken en dit op ’n eerlike en besondere manier kon vasvang.

Dit is ’n blik op ’n plaas waar 140 jaar se geskiedenis, familie en boerdery steeds deel is van die alledaagse lewe.

A ride in the Karoo is always an occasion.
A moment to breathe, sip, and remember why slow is sometimes the real luxury. Add a little something extra to your ride… book a picnic with your next outride. Expect farm-made treats, and Doornkraal bottled wine. All grown, poured, and enjoyed right where it belongs.… 🍇🐎

See and taste a bit more of the Klein Karoo, everyday.

They speak of a herd that once carried ten friends
And delivered them home as family.

Across rough ground and raw terrain, through sun and wind, they rode on. Days asked effort. Horses answered steadily. And each night, the trail led them back to the same simple truth: a campfire, a shared meal, the quiet comfort of arriving together.

Stars kept watch.
Laughter rose easily.
Soetwyn was sipped.
Stories were told the way they should be. Slowly, honestly, by firelight.

Now the trail calls again, bringing you offering like no other.
Klein Karoo to Coast & back
Carrying new faces, familiar spirits, and the promise of becoming something more than you were when you arrived.

Bring a friend. Invite a cousin. Ride with a lover. Or come alone.
On this journey, you always have your trusty steed, and your community is bound to grow.

Some legends repeat themselves.
Others invite you in.

✨🐴 Perdry Kamp Pret in Volle Gang 🏇🏽🌿

Ons Perdry Kamp is in volle swing, en wat ’n wonderlike groep kinders is dit nie! Hier op die plaas word skerms vergeet, lag weerklink oor die veld, en die naghemel word ’n storieboek van sterre wat val. 🌠

Ons bied veel meer as net perdrylesse, dit is ’n plaaslewe-ervaring, gemeng met ’n keurig saamgestelde perdry-avontuur.
Hier is wat ons Perdrykampe so besonders maak:

🐎 Verskeie daaglikse ritte en hande-vat tyd met jou perd. Volle sorg vir jou eie ruitermaat.
🌿 ’n Egte plaaservaring met diere, avontuur, vryheid en al die mooi eenvoud van plaaslewe.
🏕️ Aande om die kampvuur, slaap onder die wye Karoo-hemel en sterre tel tot jy aan die slaap raak.
🧃 Voedende, tuisgemaakte maaltye op die plaas, met saalsnacks altyd naby.
💬 Selfvertroue-bou en geleenthede vir lewenslange vriendskappe.

📅 Daar is nog ’n paar plekke beskikbaar vir ons 2de Perdry Kamp, wat plaasvind 16–18 Desember, die laaste een vir 2025!

📞 Kontak ons gidse vir meer inligting op +27 67 485 9420

Ons kampe is ontwerp vir verskillende ryvlakke, sodat elke jong ruiter gemaklik en selfversekerd kan voel. Ons bied Avontuurkampe vir meer ervare ruiters wat hou van uitdagende roetes, en af en toe beginnerskampe vir dié wat pas hul voete in die saal vind.
