This hack is a memorable experience lasting around an hour. It is suitable for over 14’s and adults who are fully competent in handling ponies at fast canter in open spaces with other riders. Riders must ride very regularly as this hack requires a good level of riding fitness.

We offer a variety of challenging routes that can involve a combination of moorland, pinewoods, farmland, rivers and technical upland terrain with little or no roads. Our ponies are well schooled, fun and responsive, and confident in their natural environment.

There are different rides to suit all levels of ability. Please read the individual terms and conditions and note the level of experience required – this is an important requirement to ensure that everyone has the best experience possible and that our riders are safe at all times.

Required documents for Health and Safety are included in the booking process and must be completed before arrival.
