F.A.Q

How to prepare for the tour

MEETING TIME AND PLACE

We meet at 09:00 at  Samaia Garden. Please be on time. In case of any delays, please inform your guide. Otherwise, the group will depart without you.

 

WEATHER

Georgian weather changes often and fast. For this reason, it's essential to follow the weather forecast closely. Here is the weather forecast. Please check it the night before the tour to be well prepared.  

 

WHAT TO WEAR

Please wear clothes appropriate to the weather. Make sure to bring layers of warm clothes to stay warm while horse riding. Gloves, hats, and scarves are obligatory. 

Shoes are important in horse riding. The ideal shoes would have a smooth sole and a small hill (kind of cowboy style). But if you don't have any, sports shoes will do. Don't wear hiking boots. They are heavy and can easily get stuck in a stirrup.

 

HORSE RIDING EXPERIENCE 

You don't need to be an experienced horse rider. Beginners are welcome. We will be riding in small groups (max. 5 riders). Horses are calm and used to inexperienced riders. 

Please let us know if you have any previous experience with horse riding. 

 

FOOD & DRINKS

Always make sure you have enough drinking water. 1.5-2 liters should be enough for the day. Please make sure to bring snacks - sandwiches, dried fruit, and sweets. They will help you maintain your energy level until lunch.

 

OTHER ESSENTIAL ITEMS

If you are prone to motion sickness, please have medicine with you. Bring a day pack to carry important items with you.
