What separates an unforgettable equestrian destination from a place that simply offers trail rides? Equestrian Travel Association founder Meghan Brady kicks off a new series exploring the deeper philosophy, culture, and standards behind exceptional equestrian travel. Drawing on her extensive industry experience, Meghan reveals the true behind-the-scenes indicators of a top-tier operation—going beyond beautiful landscapes to examine the physical condition and longevity of the herd, thoughtful management practices, and a culture of horsemanship that prioritizes mutual respect for both the horses and the riders.
