frequently asked questions

How much experience do I need?

These expeditions are NOT suitable for novice or inexperienced riders.
Participants need excellent riding skills and must be very experienced with general horse care.
Participants MUST also be experienced in riding at walk/trot/canter on open land and used to hacking out on roads.

A rider questionnaire must be completed by each participant.

Are horse riding expeditions easy?

No.

It is not a horsey holiday, however, it is loads of fun, immensely rewarding and very different from other modes of travel.

I don't have a group, can I still join?

Yes! Our ‘Open’ expeditions are offered to individuals and friends to join to make up a group. If you’re an individual, don’t worry that you won’t know anyone else as most of our ‘open’ participants join us as individuals. It is a great way to make more friends and share your love of horses.
