All rides are escorted by friendly, helpful and fully qualified staff who all have a good local knowledge. All ride escorts hold their British Equestrian Tourism qualifications, their Riding and Road Safety Certificates and are qualified first aiders.
All our horses are well mannered, well schooled and sensible. They are mainly cob type horses and ponies who are sure footed and a pleasure to ride - there's a horse to suit everyone - especially if you like the coloured variety!. We cater for novice to experienced riders, and are happy to take out mixed ability groups. Nervous riders are welcome, and will be well looked after by our sensible horses.
