To get a fix of the picturesque panoramas on display in the Cradle, consider doing so from horseback. Shepherd’s Fold Stables horse riding, in the magnificent Elandsdrift Valley, offers just such an opportunity.
An easy distance from the suburbs of Fourways, Krugersdorp and Honeydew, Shepherd’s Fold horse riding offers a variety of trails for any horse enthusiast. Whether avid and adept, or keen but inexperienced, the stables are well equipped to accommodate people of all riding abilities.
