Respectful horsemanship
Our horses are handled with patience and matched thoughtfully to each rider.
Our story
Rooted in Ethiopia. Built around the horse.
Beka Ferda means “Wise Horse” in Afaan Oromo—a name that reflects the intelligence of the horse and the care at the heart of our ranch.

A highland welcome
Sharing Ethiopia’s equestrian heritage with a new generation.
Horses have long carried stories of strength, movement, and pride across Ethiopia. Beka Ferda Ranch was created to honor that connection and make it accessible to families, first-time riders, experienced equestrians, and visitors from around the world.
Set in the Oromia highlands near Addis Ababa, the ranch brings together open countryside, local knowledge, and thoughtful horsemanship. Every visit is an invitation to slow down, connect with a horse, and experience the landscape from a different perspective.
What guides us
Care for horses. Confidence for riders. Respect for place.
The best riding experiences begin with trust—between horse and rider, guest and guide, and the ranch and the community around it.
Local knowledge
Our guides understand the land, the routes, and the rhythm of the highlands.
A warm welcome
Every guest should feel at home, from a child meeting a pony to an experienced rider.
