Oregon offers a wonderful variety of terrain, and our riding trip tries to cover it all, from vineyards to national forest to the beach! The Willamette Valley is a thriving region, driven largely by its successful wine industry, and with it a very lively cultural scene. The villages you visit during your stay are filled with art galleries, shops, tasting rooms and have a small town charm as well as an appreciation for the natural world of the Pacific Northwest.

Climate in Oregon

This part of the country is ideal for riding, due to the low humidity, cooler mountain temperatures and ocean breezes. Be prepared for cool nights and bring a light rain jacket that can be tied on the front of the saddle. July and August are hottest months in the valley with greatest likelihood for sunny beach days. May and June are often less busy with green surroundings.

Oregon Travel Tips

It’s best to have a rental car, as you start in one location in the valley and end in a different town on the coast. The nearest airport is Portland, a city well-worth a visit in its own right. Be sure to leave room in your luggage for souvenirs – Pinot Noir and otherwise

The three of us that took this ride were very impressed with the ride itself, the accommodations, food, and with how we were treated as guests by the hosts!  It was a fabulous experience!!  The guides were terrific in providing instruction, the scenery was beautiful, and the horses were great.  What I really loved about this ride was the diversity of riding—3 days in the Coastal range (and each mountain we were on had something different about it), a day riding on the beach and in the water; and two days in the vineyard countryside .  The places we stayed were outstanding (best accommodations I have ever had on a ride) and we were taken to special restaurants for dinner. For many reasons, I think this was THE BEST RIDE I have been on!
