From Stables to Surprises – What’s New at Our Horse Riding Experience in Accra

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to escape the city buzz and spend a day surrounded by nature (and a few curious chickens), there’s always something happening at our stables in Accra. Whether it’s offering new ways for people to experience horse riding or unexpected visits from feathered friends, life here is anything but ordinary.


Recently, our stables—already known as a unique spot for horse riding in Accra—welcomed some unexpected guests: a growing flock of free-roaming chickens! What started as a few curious hens pecking around the grain quickly turned into a full-on coop operation when we discovered fresh eggs hidden around the stable. It’s a reminder that when you spend time outdoors, you never know what surprises nature will bring.


But that’s not all that’s new. We’ve also launched a special Intro to Horse Riding Session for anyone looking to try something different in Accra. For just 100 GHC, you can spend time with our gentle horses, learn the basics of horse riding, and experience a peaceful break from the usual city activities. This offer is available until March 31st, making it the perfect time to visit if you’re looking for an affordable and memorable outdoor adventure.


Whether you’re a local looking for a fresh experience or a visitor searching for fun things to do in Accra, our stables offer a warm, welcoming space where you can connect with animals, nature, and even a few unexpected surprises.


If you’ve been thinking about trying horse riding—or just need a relaxing escape—we’d love to welcome you. Come by, meet the horses (and maybe a chicken or two), and discover a side of Accra you might not have experienced before.


Want to book your session? Send us a message—we can’t wait to share this experience with you! 00233269882134 / 0269882134

Why Riding is One of My Favorite Things to Do in Accra

"Accra, the vibrant capital city of Ghana, is known for its bustling markets, lively music scene, and beautiful beaches." Is what chat GPT wanted to me start this article with, when I asked for some ideas for this blog post.


I call bullshit tho, Accra's markets surely are bustling but not an activity that someone wants to do here for leisure, I personally dont go out because next to mom duties I also like to stay away from activities where I need to constantly shelter myself from being hit on by random men.

Didnt someone just ask me this very morning if I wanted to "make kids with him". Y'all really need to get ahold of yourselves not gonna lie.

And I mean beach is exactly what I do anyways but unless you call trash beautiful ion even know what you are talking about, lol.


So I am gonna be very honest here for a moment, I have been in Accra for 4 years now and I am freaking bored. Everywhere the same people, the same activities, just different outrageous levels of pricing.




When I used to live in Berlin I would go on extensive walks, sometimes for hours but here we don't even have sidewalks. I would sit in a park and enjoy the sun on my skin and people playing around me, doing all types of different things.

Here life is very different, people are more focused on their immediate families and mine's really not that big. And because Accra make hot like crazy at the moment no one has any time.


Horse Riding is what keeps me sane in this city that sometimes seems to be boiling over with stress and all different types of emotions. It's what allows me to escape into nature and just enjoy some tranqulity for once. The trail at Laboma has my heart because it has something that only very few places in Accra have to offer, peace and quiet. Which is ironic because it's also a military shooting range, lol.


If I ride at the beach I have all eyes on me and truly not all of them are entirely friendly but when I go out and enter the trail, I am able to unplug, recharge and just enjoy some time on my own.




The sound of the sea in my ears, the soft bristling of wind against my skin and the soft shimmering reflection of the sun that brushes grasses and leaves. And of course the mane of my horse flowing in the wind.


So if you're stressed by the sound of Accra or feel like you're overboiling with this city's emotions in this jungle, then pass by and try it out for yourself. I promise you you're not gonna look regret it.
