Black and white: the herd running through the valley

THE HERD

The Herd

They’re not props; they’re partners. These are our thirteen regulars, cared for every day and ridden by us.

Filter by level, pick the one you’d like to meet and tell us when you book. Your guide makes the final match before you set off, once they’ve seen how you ride — safety always comes first.

BEGINNER

Beginner

First time on a horse, or a few rides but no confident trot yet. You get our steadiest horses, with a guide leading or riding close by.

INTERMEDIATE

Intermediate

You can mount and dismount alone, steer, walk and trot, and keep up on a two-to-three-hour trail.

ADVANCED

Advanced

A secure canter in open country, and you can handle a spook or a change of ground. These horses are fit and hot — for riders who want to really gallop.

Choose your favourite when you book; we’ll make the final call on the day based on the weather, the route and how each horse is feeling.
