Between the Ears Expeditions
horse treks rooted in local culture
Where adventure, culture and wild landscapes meet.
We offer hand-picked, locally-operated horse expeditions for those who want authentic and immersive travel.
We ride where local people and life on the land are inextricably tied to horses, crafting experiences that offer a glimpse into another way of life. Whether riding with shepherds through the vast steppe and snow-capped peaks of Central Asia or watching your horse graze in dancing fire shadows while a gaucho prepares asado, horses become the common thread connecting us to cultures around the world. Riding to sweeping lookouts, exploring remote alpine lakes and local homesteads, and racing along with your horse stretched out beneath you — these joys are universal. More importantly, they’re best when shared.
Our rides invite you to know the land more deeply. We work with local operators, guides, and ecotourism projects to create group trips that truly immerse you in place, horse culture, and community.
The community
Between the Ears Expeditions began after we spent eight weeks riding on our own through northern Patagonia with three horses. The thrill of the trek and the people we met along the way inspired us to build a community for those who want similar experiences in shorter doses.
Our trips are tailored for riders who are intermediate or above and comfortable moving at all gaits across varied terrain. Equally important, we ask that you love the outdoors deeply, possess a sense of adventure in embracing wild spots and new cultures, and want to connect with the people around you.
We offer set itineraries and customize group trips to arrange the multi-day ride of your dreams. Don’t hesitate to reach out with inquiries. We can’t wait to have you along to see the world the way we think it’s best seen — between the ears of a horse.
