Other Journeys

    The Art of Connection | Horsemanship Course

    Led exclusively by our star coach, this course is a rare chance to learn from more than 20 years of lived experience with horses—not only riding, but rescuing, rehabilitating, and building relationships.

    His journey is one of mutual saving: the horses have carried him through as much as he has carried them. That bond, built on patience, respect, and quiet consistency, is the heart of everything he teaches.

    Course includes:

    • Theoretical discussions on horse behaviour, communication, and connection

    • Practical sessions with horses, guided by our star coach

    • Personalized feedback for all experience levels

    • A safe, ethical, and horse-centred learning environment

    Duration: 4D3N

    Location: Lijiang, Yunnan

  • Interior of a cozy bedroom with wood-paneled walls and large windows showcasing a grassy outdoor scene with horses and a barn.

    The Sanctuary Retreat | The Miracle Ranch

    At our retired horse sanctuary, we invite you to slow down and simply be.

    There is no fixed schedule here—only a private piece of land, the quiet company of horses, and space to breathe. Spend time with our retired horses, wander the grounds, or simply sit and watch.

    The land healed them, and their gentle energy now returns that care to the land. We hope this land cradles you, too, as nature cradles all living things—and that you find peace and healing in this retreat.

    Duration: 4D3N

    Location: Lijiang, Yunnan

About YEA Ma Riding Co.

For the love of horses, for the thrill of freedom.

YEA Ma Riding Co. specializes in crafting safe × professional × immersive horseback riding and wilderness experiences across mainland China. We rigorously select partner ranches to ensure every horse is well-care for, and every rider experiences true freedom – responsibly.

Our Commitments

  • Professional Coaching: All wilderness rides begin with foundational training to ensure harmony between rider and horse.

  • Equine Welfare First: We reject overworking horses—only healthy, calm, and well-treated companions join our journeys.

  • Safety Above All: Helmets and protective gear are provided; routes are tailored to rider skill levels—never risking safety for thrill.

  • Small-Group Deep immersion: Limited group sizes ensure personalized attention while minimizing environmental impact.

Who Is This For?

  • Beginners eager to try wilderness riding but concerned about safety

  • Experienced riders seeking professional services

  • Those who reject "checklist-style" rides and crave genuine interaction with horses

Why choose us?

"Not all ranches understand horses—but we do."

Horses are sensitive and intelligent partners. We build bridges of trust between humans and horses—from correct riding posture and interpreting equine body language to achieving ‘one-ness’ in the wild.

We believe: Riding is a conversation with freedom.

  • Unrestrained rhythm helps you and your horse find the most comfortable dance.

  • Without forceful tugging, they respond to your trust with flicking ears and smooth strides.

  • Pausing in the wilderness, patting their necks, listening to them graze…

True freedom is not about conquering—but sharing this land, together, with grace.
