Safety
Your guide Rita has been trained in a seminar of first aid for riders by the British Horse Society. First aid kits for horse and rider will be taken with in each trip. She is a qualified FEI coach.
Hard hats are available to borrow at the stables if needed. However, it is always better if you can bring your own helmet, to ensure a perfect fit.

Riding level
Participants must feel comfortable at a walk, trot and canter. They also need to be able to rise and post the trot. It is also preferable that riders feel comfortable mounting and dismounting on their own.
We ask riders to help tack-up and groom the horses.

Horses
We currently have 9 horses. Most of our horses are around 150-160 cm high. We also have 2 cob horses.

Riding Terrain
The island has many hills so we will be going uphill and downhill during almost half of our rides. We also go for rides on the beach.
