Ready to Book?
When booking your trek, we will ask for adult heights and weights as well as details of any previous riding experience. When booking in children, please let us know their age and give us an idea of their build so that we allocate an appropriate pony/horse. You will also need to let us know if your child has any learning difficulties or special needs, so that we can plan ahead and have extra help, if required. We also have ponies that are better suited to children with special needs. We will need to make sure they are free for your session.
All treks are paid for in full at time of booking. Cancellation is 24hrs for a full refund.
What to wear?
Long trousers are best with boots that have a clean heel. Wellies and hiking boots are not advised. We have boots of all sizes, so don't worry. Please make sure children wear socks. A windproof jacket is ideal and please do not wear too many layers as horse riding can make you quite warm.
