Centre-based Riding Holidays

A riding holiday based at a centralised accommodation, with horseback rides in different directions each day which can be adapted to differing riding levels and to your wishes. You can unpack and relax, knowing you return to the same place each night and even sit out a day and rest if you prefer. It is an ideal opportunity to share a horseback holiday with your family, as a couple or amongst friends, without wondering whether non-riders will get bored, novice riders will be overly challenged or experienced riders will be frustrated. If you wish your centre-based riding holiday to include another element such as dressage instruction or cattle work then you may wish to browse those sections of our website too, or call us for advice. There is a riding holiday to suit everyone.

    We had a superb week it exceeded our expectations. We had a lesson every day the horses are very well trained, and we gained lots of experience getting the signals right for the more advanced movements. We specifically asked for help to ride the elements of Working Equitation and how to train our own horses at home,... Read all

    I had the opportunity to ride with 3 different horse during my stay. Ixora was the first one I got on my first day. She knew exactly what she was doing and was very kind to me. She behaved really well on my first day. Then, I had Mose. He is an incredible horse, very gentle and listen to you. He is also very strong... Read all
