Rates Note:

Transfer Option:

For your pleasure we take small groups of up to six riders and riders of different abilities are taken separately unless otherwise requested. All our rides are escorted in order to make your time in the saddle as diverse and fun as possible, maximizing the opportunities to cater and gallop and helping riders to get the best from their horses.

Taking a different route each day, your ride will take you out of the stable yard and straight into dramatic open moorland, exploring deep into enchanting woodlands, along beautiful Exmoor streams and atop the magnificent coastline with views as far-reaching as the Black Mountains of Wales. The rides include pub and picnic stops for lunch, weather permitting. The terrain of Exmoor is hilly and can be challenging for those not used to open spaces. No matter what standard most of our guests have found that their riding ability and confidence have improved greatly throughout their time with us, our escorts are always happy to give informal guidance whilst on the rides. Natural horsemanship and riding lessons are also available.

The climate is temperate with warm wet summers and cool wet winters. Weather varies from day to day and throughout the country as a whole. The west coast and mountainous areas receive the most rain; the east coast, particularly in the north, is colder and windier. The southeast is sunnier than the north with less rain and a climate approaching the continental. The southwest has the mildest climate overall. 
                       

This trip includes and can accommodate special dietary requests.

We are proud of our unusual breeds of horses giving our guests the chance to ride something new and different. As well as the normal thoroughbred types and cobs, we also have the noble and beautiful Spanish horse, Quarter horse crosses, Lipizzaner/Arab and a friendly Icelandic, who gives our riders a chance to try the exotic gait of tolt.
All of our horses are real characters, we practice natural horsemanship and our horses are trained to be responsive and delightful rides. From the more forwards going, to the quieter horses suitable for the novice rider, we hope you will find our horses well-mannered and sure-footed. We are not a trekking centre or a riding school and the horses are corn fed every day to ensure they are fit and keen. Although our horses are well-schooled and responsive long as they are correctly ridden, they are living beings and some may occasionally put in a high-spirited buck or shy. We expect our guests to understand that riding is a high-risk sport and that horses can sometimes be unpredictable.

Note: for adults only 16 yrs+, riding helmets are mandatory
