“Great experience”
Booking the experience was easy although finding the location a little less so as although the GPS found it, there is no signage to indicate that this is in fact the correct location. Once I was there, there was no faffing, it was very straightforward and the hack lasted almost 1h30 through beautiful forests, fields and along country roads. We were incredibly lucky with the weather and the horses were fantastic. I would definitely recommend it!

“The Best Experience ”
As a child I rode for many years, this experience took me back to some of my favourite times. the team at the stables are the most friendly bunch I have come across when reliving my youth. they were all extremely welcoming, polite and adaptable as it turned out some of our group were less experience as first thought. Cleanest and nicest maintained stables. All the horses/ponies were very clearly loved and well cared for. I cant wait to go back again. Definite value for money!! Beautiful area too
“A wonderful birthday present ”
A lovely day and well looked after, great memories 10 out of 10
