Safety & security
Safety
Safety is of utmost importance on all our horseback vacations.
With Sirin Riders, your safety is always a top priority. Our staff is composed of trained professionals who are certified trail riding guides. We know the land and the trails, having chosen them for their suitability for these types of riding holidays. Also, before every trip, our guides make a run through to ensure the trails are safe. We use only quality, highly trained horses. We know each of our horses well and are able to expertly match horse and rider.
It can get very hot in Israel, especially in the summer and in the desert. We have strict rules regarding weather conditions, including never riding in temperatures over 90°F (32°C). In addition, there is always a first aid kit.
Horseback riding vacations present associated risks not found in bused tours. We know falls and accidents can happen, but we do all in our power to mitigate these incidents. Healthcare in Israel is among the best in the world. On any given horse tour, we have the ability to evacuate an injured person to a modern hospital within a time frame that does not go beyond 2 hours (depending on the location of the trail). We require all participants to purchase adequate insurance including health coverage and emergency transportation coverage.
It is mandatory to wear a riding helmet during our rides! We can supply one if you’d like.
Security
Despite what appears in the media, Israel is generally a safe and easy country to travel in. Approximately 3 million tourists visit Israel every year. Our riding area is more than 50km distant of from Gaza strip. It makes our riding area relatively stable and quite favourable to tourism. All of our equestrian vacations are conducted in secure areas of Israel with well trained guides.
