We are South Africa's leading Gap Year Working Riding Holiday program. We cater for all levels of horse riders who want an extended horse riding experience.

We offer unpretentious hospitality in a setting that allows guest to relax de-stress and escape the clutter of everyday life. This is simple country living and riding on a working horse and cattle farm, no frills - just great riding on lovely horses, a comfortable bed, home cooked food and lots of conversation revolving around the horses!!

Based at Sunray Farm we offer different daily rides around the farm looking for game and from our beach paddocks in Kei Mouth.
For a perfect riding holiday, overnight trails can be enjoyed separately or combined to create an authentic rural African experience.
Riding at the farm offers a selection of out-rides through indigenous bush looking for naturally occurring game, schooling in our outdoor arena, riding lessons, a mini cross country jumping course, barrel racing and games on horseback, round pen work, and several different beach rides in Kei Mouth and Morgan Bay.

Join us for 1 to 12 weeks hands on riding holiday, in an alternative environment using natural horse care and horsemanship. You will be involved with the day to day care of the horses, do lots of riding, exercising and schooling the horses, and have an option to do a Wild Coast Horse Trail.
This is an excellent environment to get work experience for equine students, advanced riders will enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and great riding, intimidate riders can immerses themselves with the horses, and novice & beginner riders’ riding will improve!

We require that candidates be horse lovers and can walk, trot and canter confidently, No other experience is necessary as we will teach you as you go along.
