Tips & Advice
To make your day as comfortable and enjoyable as possible we have put together a few points to take into consideration.

Clothing - Forget fashion... Comfort is key! 

Jodhpurs, leggings, Jogging bottoms or jeans are fine.  Anorak/Kagool (waterproof is best).  Jumper, T-shirt.  Vest tops are not advisable best to protect your shoulders from the elements.  Take sun screen in the Summer.


Footwear  
 
Riding boots, Jodhpur boots with half chaps, or Wellington boots and working type boots are just as good.  It is best to have a small flat heal as this prevents your foot from slipping through the stirrup.  Trainers are not advised!

Things To Note

As Horse Riding is an activity sport, all participants should be fit and healthy.  Any medical problems should be discussed with your Doctor before booking!



 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 


Remember

It is better to under estimate your ability if you are unsure.  In order to provice you with the best experience possible please inform the organizer of any disability so that arrangements can be made to ensure a successful ride.  All groups are accompanied by experienced and friendly guides who set the pace according to the riders ability.  For unaccompanied persons under 17 years of age, a consent form must first be completed.
