Horse Trails for novices
These are short horse trails that last up to 3 hours. Clients will have to control their own horses - we do not always provide leading reigns. It is important to realise that clients do not just walk on a novice ride. There will be opportunities to trot, and where in the opinion of the guide, clients may be allowed to canter. Clients who only wish to walk should notify the guide immediately. The horses used on a novice ride are more complacent, though still of good quality, and shorter distances are covered.
Experienced riders
We have longer trails from two hours up to one day trips designed for clients who have had considerable riding experience. The clients will be riding good quality horses, slightly challenging perhaps, but well schooled and certainly not suitable for novice riders. These are not ordinary trail horses and although there are a limited number of quieter horses available, clients will still be expected to control these without assistance.
