Vered HaGalil

Riding above the Sea of Galilee

The stable forms part of the Vered HaGalil guest-farm grounds. Its rides explore the Korazim Plateau and nearby countryside. The official description places the experience among views of the Sea of Galilee, the Galilee hills and the Golan. These are landscape references rather than a promise that every ride reaches each area. Ask the stable which route is planned for the outing you choose.

A riding tradition dating to 1965

The first riding trips set out from Vered HaGalil in 1965. They attracted Israeli travellers and overseas visitors who came for riding holidays. The stable’s dedicated page names the Avni-Givori family as its management. The date documents the beginning of the riding trips; it should not be treated as a separately verified opening date for every part of today’s guest-farm complex.

Activity operator

The official page identifies Havat Vered HaGalil Ltd. as the riding operator. The hotel acts as a referring party; programme questions should go directly to the stable.

Accessibility of the grounds and the riding activity

The complex’s official accessibility information lists two accessible parking spaces by the main entrance and accessible public toilets near reception. These facilities belong to the hotel area. They do not establish an accessible route to the stable, assistance for mounting a horse or accessibility of the riding trail itself. Discuss any mobility needs and mounting assistance with the activity operator before making the journey.
