Horse Riding At The Summerhill Stud

Enjoy an educational horse ride around the award winning Summerhill and Hartford Studs, located in the Mooi River Midlands region of KwaZulu Natal, South Africa. Rides can be organised from Hartford House, the only 5-star country hotel on a world class stud farm in the world.

Hartford House is South Africa’s Number One Boutique Hotel and National Top Ten Restaurant.

Self-ride and guided horse riding is both available on the picturesque estate.

Founded in 1879 by the one-time Deputy Prime Minister of the Old Colony of Natal, Summerhill has the distinction of being the leading racehorse breeder in South Africa, as well as hosting the stallions of the Rulers of Dubai.

Described by many a travelled commentator as one of the world's most beautiful estates, Summerhill's 3000 acres are among the most fertile in Africa. Though access is solely by arrangement, the farm is almost as famous for its hospitality as it is for its Champion racehorses.

It's entirely appropriate then that it should now be home to one of the nation's finest hostelries, Hartford House, having shared with the adjacent Hartford an illustrious political history as well as a past rich in thoroughbred lore.
