We have a grading system in place to help you choose the right ride for you (or your group).
All rides go at the pace of the slowest rider.
*The rides enjoy spectacular scenery, with a different pace for each ride.
Some of the rides have challenging terrain. Each ride is carefully selected and tailored to you or your group.
Most of all, its about you enjoying your ride with safety in mind. All routes are safety checked before.
Grade 1 - easy
Grassy tracks, open fell with a relaxed pace, walk/trot/canter. Small amount of road work on quiet country lanes.
Some of the rides have more road work than others - please specify if you would prefer to stay off roads as much as possible.
Horse and rider must have a decent level of fitness.
2hr rides/3hrs/full day
Grade 2 - moderate
Grassy tracks & open fell. Some stony areas. High elevation - hill work.
Some road work - mainly quiet country lanes. River or stream crossings. Some slightly soft ground
Good to high level of fitness for both horse and rider.
2/3hrs rides
Grade 3 - Challenging
These rides have the same riding as above - but with much more demanding terrain, which can be challenging in areas.
Loose stones, narrow paths. Steep accents and descents. You may be required to lead your horse in some areas. Soft to boggy ground in parts. These rides are much longer and require both horse and rider to have a very high level of fitness. The horses must be sure footed & riders must be very competent both on and off their horse. Phone signal not always available.
I recommend that horse and rider are used to this kind of terrain.
Some 3hr rides/full day/overnight trail rides/long distance
*please note that the ever changing weather conditions may force a ride to be changed at the last minute at my own discretion and for the safety of horses and riders.
I advise that you bring water proofs & thermal clothing in the autumn/winter months.
Although I check every route prior to a ride - there can be unforeseen circumstances.
Please wear Hi-Viz, this is particularly helpful for low flying jets to see us, along with mountain bikers.
Bespoke guided rides to suit you and your horse.
2 Self Catering cottages on site, with 2 small paddocks. No stabling.
