Pony trekking is a guided riding activity that involves travelling on ponies along countryside, woodland or coastal trails. Rides are typically led by experienced guides and designed to be accessible, making pony trekking popular with beginners, families and those looking for a relaxed way to explore the landscape. When taken part in abroad, pony trekking is generally enjoyed at an amateur, recreational level as part of an organised excursion.
ActivitySure can cover pony trekking when you are taking part overseas on an amateur basis and in line with the policy conditions. Although the pace is usually gentle and routes are planned in advance, riding on uneven ground and changing terrain means there is still a risk of falls or minor injuries, which is why suitable travel insurance is important.

Destination Insight
Where is popular for pony trekking?
Pony trekking is offered in many scenic destinations where guided routes allow riders to experience the natural surroundings at a steady pace. The Scottish Highlands are particularly well known for pony treks across open moorland and through remote valleys.
It is also popular in destinations such as Iceland and Canada, where organised treks follow mountain trails, coastal paths or wilderness routes, giving travellers a unique way to explore dramatic landscapes.
Here's why pony trekking travel insurance matters:
Even on a gentle trek, accidents can happen. Uneven surfaces, changes in weather or a loss of balance can lead to falls or strains. If you require medical treatment while abroad, or need to return home earlier than planned, travel insurance can help provide financial protection.
Helpful travel tips
- Keep a relaxed, balanced posture in the saddle to maintain control on uneven ground
- Give your pony space on narrow paths and follow at a safe distance from others.
- Check that tack and safety equipment are correctly fitted before setting off.
- Take descents slowly and follow the guides instructions, particularly on steep or slippery sections.
- Always follow guidance from the trek organiser and wear appropriate safety equipment, including a helmet where provided.
