Hacking Details
|
1 hour ride - meander along the banks of the Till, canter through the woods and see if you can spy the occasional red squirrel or roe deer.
2 hour moor ride - enjoy the panoramic views, from the coast to the East of the Cheviots to the West, as you ride across bracken moors across streams and through woods. Interesting flora and fauna are to be seen throughout the year.
Beach ride - travel to the famous Holy Island to ride across the sands and see the birds and seals, then gallop along the amazing expanse of beautiful beach and splash in the surf. For the 'brave', a bare-back swim in the bracing North Sea is always exhilarating!

| Further Details |
|
The joy of horse riding is that you do not need a lot of extra cloths. Correct footwear is most important. A smooth sole and a small heel are advised on your shoe or boot. Hard hats MUST be worn and these can be hired from the stable at a cost of £1.00.
